I have wide root shallow boobs. The bra gave me a ridiculously pointy shape (rocket-boobs!!), but the support is superb. I've worn it while running and there is NO BOUNCE AT ALL, despite the pointy/projected shape.

Apart from that:
- thick and cushioned straps
- no racerback option
- very high chest coverage (I couldn't find a tank top to go with it, and decided to wear a tight T-shirt.)

Sizing:
Make sure you size up in the band! Shock Absorber bras run extremely tight and will turn into instruments of torture if worn in a too small band size.
The cups are generous - I can handle wearing it one cup size smaller than I usually do.

Currently it is too tight for me.

Good quality. Does support well, even if you jump. I did wear it with an extender before I had better-fitting sports bras, and it supports beautifully.

Very old-fashioned look. Gives a bullet shape I do not prefer. However, I must say it is an uplifted, "happy" bullet shape.

This is a very well made bra.

I am keeping it because, to be honest, it gives me joy to have such a beautifully well made bra... even more impressive as it is made without wires.

I have moderately projected breasts, and this bra actually gives me a very nice - albeit minimized - rounded shape! The band is quite rigid though, and does dig in a bit, and the straps don't adjust quite short enough for my low-set bust. It seems to do the job though - I wear it for karate, and it keeps everything in place with no bounce. I'd definitely recommend sizing up in the band and down in the cup - I normally wear a 30E, but the 32D is generous enough in the cup and the band is very snug.

This actual works on my wide, shallow, conical breasts.
I fill the cup and feel supported. The band is very firm, maybe because it's the black color.
Very high cut.
Gave me a nice round shape which is surprising since most reviewers seem to have the pointy shape experience.
