Yonex Power Cushion Eclipsion 5 Clay men's tennis shoes are engineered for intermediate to advanced players seeking superior support for dynamic footwork on clay courts. This footwear is designed to handle sudden stops and changes in direction inherent to tennis play.
With enhanced stability and a secure fit, the Eclipsion 5 tennis shoes instill court confidence. Yonex's signature shock-absorbing material, POWER CUSHION+, has been reshaped to boost shock absorption by 28% (*2), specifically enhancing support on the lateral side of the foot. Furthermore, POWER CUSHION+ is integrated with thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) in the outsole, providing increased court grip and 5% quicker spring-back power (*3). This combination facilitates rapid directional changes and precise movements on the tennis court.
Top athletes such as World No. 4 Elena Rybakina (KAZ), World No. 9 Hubert Hurkacz (POL), and World No. 11 Casper Ruud (NOR) will be using the new ECLIPSION 5 shoes. (*4)Â
Yonex remains dedicated to aiding athletes in achieving peak performance through high-quality products and continuous innovation. Â

INNOVATION
POWER CUSHION+: New shape, enabling quick and springy response
The newly-shaped POWER CUSHION+ effectively absorbs ground and lateral pressure during changes in direction.
POWER CUSHION+ offers exceptional shock absorption and resilience. A notable Yonex test demonstrated that a raw egg dropped from 12 meters onto a POWER CUSHION+ mat survived without cracking and bounced back up to six meters.
POWER CUSHION+ combined with TPU parts: Enhanced rigidity for quicker spring back
During gliding movements on court, significant pressure is applied to the feet. The integration of TPU support with POWER CUSHION+ material creates a protective barrier against this intense footwork pressure. POWER CUSHION+ absorbs the impact and swiftly supports the player's feet, enabling seamless transitions into subsequent movements.
ECLIPSION 5 One-Piece Outsole: Smoother gliding footwork (Clay Court Only)
The ECLIPSION 5 features a denser sole pattern than its predecessor, the ECLIPSION 4. This adjustment increases the ground contact area, leading to improved stability. Players benefit from more secure balance and enhanced control over their movements on clay courts.
