It is made especially for players who desire to play for more extended periods. Fortunately, I also got a chance to playtest with Gel Game 8 and one of my friends. However, he plays regularly only to keep fit.
Gel Game 8 gives the perfect feel and is supportive on all grounds. More than 17 people out of 25 expressed they maintained stability on rough courts, and the pair was very flexible.
