A simpler construction means fewer ways to refine the foot hold than on the Resolution X.
The Dedicate 9 earns a place in a budget comparison because it covers the basics without a long list of premium features. It should not be called the cheapest ASICS worth buying: sales on older models can change that comparison.
There is also no useful reason to reject it just because you play several times a week. What matters is whether your foot stays secure, the outsole grips your court appropriately and the shoe remains comfortable through your usual session. Compare a more structured model if the upper does not hold you firmly enough.
Make sure the offer says PADEL. GEL-DEDICATE names are used across different court versions, and this page's checked men's reference is 1041A546.
GEL cushioning with TRUSSTIC midfoot support in the PADEL version.
The checked men's PADEL model is standard width. Compare it in your usual court-shoe size, then check heel hold and room at the toes. Use the correct men's or women's size chart; the two versions have different manufacturer references.
