Head Boom MP L 2026 Alternate Tennis Racket Strung

Purple is Coco Gauff’s favorite color and the tonal purple design of the BOOM ALTERNATE MP L – which is endorsed by Gauff and Lorenzo Musetti – offers a striking and progressive look that matches the racquet’s explosive feel. A lighter and more powerful version of the MP model, this racquet is for intermediate players wanting easy, effortless power, and for those who like to attack. It’s part of a fun-loving BOOM series that offers the highest power level in the HEAD tennis racquet universe and combines that explosive power with the touch to play delicate drop shots.

Boost your power, confidence and fun with the BOOM ALTERNATE MP L. The BOOM series is for more lifestyle-focused players who enjoy the fun and social side around tennis, but the racquets also come with the latest performance technologies to enhance the powerful touch. Hy-Bor, a material mix that is mainly used in the high-tech aerospace industry, has been added to the racquet’s shaft to improve the perceived stability and solid impact feel. For optimal power and touch, a new AI string pattern was created using artificial intelligence, along with subjective feedback from players. The upgrade also includes new Auxetic 2.0 technology which ensures a more connected feel to the ball while the beam and grommet sets are designed to enhance the power and the directional drilling provides extra touch and comfort.

String Pattern

Power & Spin 16/19

The 16x19 string pattern, with 16 main and 19 cross strings, is more open, allowing for greater spin and power. The wider spacing between the strings enables the ball to sink deeper, creating more power and responsiveness, making it ideal for aggressive baseline players who rely on spin and speed.

Beam

Thin-Beam 24 mm

Thin beams offer more control and precision, ideal for advanced players. They provide better ball feel but generate less power, requiring faster swing speeds.
