Looking for a light and close to the ground shoes

[MatterOfTime]

Since my shoes (gel rocket 9) are getting worn out, I've started to look for some new ones.
The only thing I didn't like about these is how bulky they're. So, I'm looking for is a lighter and closer to the ground shoes.
So far there's 4 models that caught my attention:

• Mizuno Wave Drive Neo 3
• Mizuno Wave Drive 9
• Mizuno Wave Drive EL
• Xiom FT Igre

Do you guys have tried these out? Specially the Neo 3 and the EL?
I'm open to suggestions!

The NEO 3 wraps around a bit more for narrower feet, and most of our Penhold players here opt for the Wave Drive 9, which is very well balanced in all aspects.

Why not asics gel blade? Wave Drive's are almost always a safe bet.

Isn't gel blade almost the same as the gel rocket? It seems bulky to me. I'm almost getting the wave drive indeed.

That's the biggest difference about the NEO 3? Do you know anyone that uses the Wave Drive EL?

Mizuno always is a safe bet for quality... im not sure about the weight though.
