Who is the Head Boom for?

The Boom is for the player who wants the racket to help with power: effortless depth, easy spin, and a comfortable frame. Head calls it “the most powerful range in the HEAD universe,” and on-court tests agree: it is the brand’s easy-power racket.

  • Easy power and spin. The ball comes off high and deep.
  • Comfortable. Tests give it high comfort ratings across the range. The 2026 model feels slightly firmer than the 2024 model.
  • Very manageable, especially the MP: this is what tests emphasize most, along with comfort.
  • Fine control is its weak point. If you hit flat, depth is difficult to control, and the MP struggles against heavy balls, at the net, and on returns.

Easy power does not mean every shot is worth it: the Pro requires arm speed and does not perform well on short or slow shots, and the MP performs best with a full swing.

The level is determined by the model: Head positions the Pro for advanced and competitive players, the MP from intermediate to competitive, the MP L for intermediate, and the MP UL, Team, and Elite for beginners and intermediate players. This is the range Head presents as recommended by Coco Gauff and Lorenzo Musetti.

If you are unsure about the Head Extreme, the other power and spin option: the Boom gives you more free power, with a softer feel that is more forgiving; the Extreme provides more spin and a firmer response, and rewards you for accelerating your arm. If you want a little more control without losing help, look at the Head Speed, Head’s all-rounder. All the ranges compared are available in Head tennis rackets.

Which Head Boom model should I choose?

The MP is the benchmark Boom; the Pro, the control model; the lightweight models, the easiest to maneuver; and the Team and Elite, the ones with the largest heads.

Model Head size Unstrung weight String pattern For whom
Boom Pro 2026 98 in² 310 g 16×19 The most stable and highest-control racket in the range, with the thinnest frame (22 mm). Requires arm speed. For advanced and competitive players
Boom MP 2026 100 in² 295 g 16×19 The benchmark Boom: very manageable, comfortable, and easy to spin. Struggles against heavy balls and at the net. For intermediate to competitive players
Boom MP L 2026 100 in² 275 g 16×19 The MP with 20 g less: more manageable. Head recommends it for intermediate players
Boom MP UL 2026 100 in² 255 g 16×19 New in 2026, the lightest in the range. For beginners, intermediate players, and progressing juniors
Boom Team 2026 107 in² 260 g 16×19 The one with the largest head and the longest length (27.4 inches). Head says it provides more power, comfort, and forgiveness. For beginners and intermediate players
Boom Elite 2026 107 in² 270 g 16×19 The entry-level model, with the same head as the Team. For beginners and intermediate players

The Alternate models are not a different racket: in the 2026 Boom, Alternate is the purple finish, with the same dimensions. Head presents it as Coco Gauff’s favorite color; the standard series comes in blue. They are available in the MP, MP L, MP UL, Team, and junior models.

The Boom Juniors are for children. In the junior range, the model is chosen based on the child’s height, which determines the racket’s length: the Boom Junior 25 measures 25 inches.

Boom 2026 and 2024: what has changed

The 2026 model is an evolution of the 2024 model, with the same mold and dimensions. What’s new is Hy-Bor in the frame, a string pattern that Head designed using artificial intelligence for the MP, MP L, and MP UL, and a slightly firmer and more solid feel.

  • The MP has changed very little: tests only note a better feel.
  • The Pro has changed character: slightly less power and more control and stability.
  • The Team has grown, from 102 to 107 square inches.
  • The MP UL has arrived, the lightest model.

Both generations coexist in the collection: from 2024, you have the MP and the MP L in their Alternate versions.

Boom technologies and what you feel on the court

Head’s frame technology is Auxetic 2.0, and Hy-Bor has been added to the 2026 ranges. Graphene is still present as a material in many models, from competitive to beginner: in the Boom, Head states it is in the Pro, the MP, and the rest of the performance range.

Technology What it is What you feel
Auxetic 2.0 A material that thickens when stretched and thins when compressed, in the throat, bridge, and grip You know where you have hit the ball, and it vibrates less. It is about feel, not power
Hy-Bor According to Head, a blend of cutting-edge materials used mainly in the aerospace industry, in the heart of the frame Head promises more stability and a better impact feel; tests note a more solid feel
AI string pattern According to Head, generated using artificial intelligence. In the MP, MP L, and MP UL; not in the Pro or Team Tests do not attribute a distinct effect to it
