HOW IT TESTED
For a racquet that has the heft and small head size of a true player’s frame, the Boris Becker 11 mid delivers surprising pop and forgiveness. That’s not to say you won’t be punished for missing the sweet spot, but it’s larger than you might think. Accomplished players who like to take a rip at the ball will find this racquet has the control and stability they crave. “Amazing racquet. Impressed me more and more with every shot,” a 5.0 male baseliner said. The weight provides great stability, and the head-light balance makes it maneuverable from all parts of the court. Significant flex in the head enhances control and touch on volleys, making the Boris Becker 11 a good option for aggressive all-court players. Baseliners who play with spin will appreciate the open string pattern (16x19), which isn’t something usually found in a small head.

BOTTOM LINE
Skilled all-court players and those who aspire to join that rank will go for this stick.
