Description;

A striking, purple design matches the powerful touch of the BOOM ALTERNATE MP TENNIS RACQUET that is made for intermediate, advanced and tournament players.

Purple is Coco Gauff’s favorite color and the tonal purple design of the BOOM ALTERNATE MP – which is endorsed by Gauff and Lorenzo Musetti – offers a striking and progressive look that matches the racquet’s explosive feel. Power is combined with the touch to play delicate drop shots, with even more power, confidence and fun from a racquet that has been upgraded with the latest technologies. Part of a BOOM series that offers the highest power level in the HEAD tennis racquet universe, this versatile model is designed for intermediate, advanced and tournament players who are looking for easy, effortless power and for those who like to attack.

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. 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. The beam and grommet sets are designed to enhance the power while the directional drilling provides extra touch and comfort.

What head size should I choose?

Larger heads of 105 square inches and up give a bigger sweet spot and more free power, which suits improvers and anyone who does not generate their own pace. Mid-size heads around 95 to 100 square inches give more control and a cleaner feel, but you have to swing properly to get anything out of them. Most club players sit between 98 and 105.

Does racket weight matter more than head size?

They matter in different ways. Weight determines stability: a heavier frame holds its line against a hard ball and transmits less shock to the arm, while a lighter one is easier to swing but gets pushed around. Head size determines forgiveness. A light racket with a big head is the most beginner-friendly combination; a heavy racket with a small head is the least.

What is racket balance and which should I pick?

Balance is where the weight sits along the frame. Head heavy rackets are usually lighter overall and add power for players with shorter swings. Head light rackets are usually heavier overall and suit players who generate their own pace and want manoeuvrability at the net. Even balance is the safe middle.

Should I buy a strung or unstrung racket?

Frames sold unstrung are aimed at players who want a specific string and tension, and the cost of stringing needs adding. Strung rackets come ready to play with a factory string that is fine to start with. If you do not yet know what string you like, buy strung.

How often should a tennis racket be restrung?

The old guideline is to restring as many times per year as you play per week. Strings lose tension from the moment they go in, whether you play or not, so a racket strung two years ago is well past its best even if nothing has broken. If you are breaking strings regularly, a polyester will last longer.

When does a junior move up to an adult racket?

Junior frames are sized by length, not age. Most players move to a 27 inch adult frame at around 11 or 12, but the test is whether they can swing the racket through the ball without the head dropping. Moving up too early builds bad habits that take longer to undo than waiting.
