what sticks were he using during yhe wooden days? any becker oficianados?
Ah Mistral it is. I blame auto correct ha ha I saw one on the bay the other day. In de_vintagers shop I thinkThe racquets he used for the 1985 Wimbledon victory were non-paintjobbed Puma G. Vilas models. After the victory, Puma was quick to refresh the graphics (though the paint scheme stayed constant) and rename the model Boris Becker Winner. It was hugely popular after that, especially in Germany.
Otherwise, Ciaron's list is good, with one errata: it was the adidas Mistral, not minstrel!
Some excellent footage there. Thanks for posting . I see BB wore ellesse sponsored clothing back in the earlier daysSorry, forget to add link
What did you pay for them your side . They were expensive here in SA .. The equivalent of $100Yes, i also bought these BB Pumas, good quality leather and overal too. I also got Puma Guilero Vilas, also very nice.
Those are pretty nice. Are they ok for playing in? I find that a lot of retro shoes these days are a little too flimsy to actually use for tennis.Speaking of Puma and Boris Becker, how cool are these 30 year commemoration Puma Whisper tennis shoes I bought the other day. Ultra comfortable as well

It depeds on the model. Actually the principal difference between retro and modern tennis shoes is the material. Modern are lighter and more shockabsorb.Those are pretty nice. Are they ok for playing in? I find that a lot of retro shoes these days are a little too flimsy to actually use for tennis.
I got them from US. Don't remember the exact price, yes, probably around $100. But i was dreaming about them in 80's, so that's ok. For me the most important is the quality of the leather. Now thinking about Agassi's retro Nike.What did you pay for them your side . They were expensive here in SA .. The equivalent of $100
Yeah, i think so. But i will not wear them to play, they're iconic for me, so just casual use.They're the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn and I reckon they'll stand up to normal tennis play .
Me as well . I bought 3 pairs . 2 to sell online and then 1 for me obviouslyYeah, i think so. But i will not wear them to play, they're iconic for me, so just casual use.
