Head Boom MP (2026)
The Head Boom MP (2026) is a 100 in² tennis racket weighing 295 g (10.4 oz) unstrung, with a 16x19 string pattern. Power is its strong point: the ball leaves fast and deep without you having to swing harder. That open pattern lets the strings bite into the ball more.
It is aimed at intermediate players looking to build a more structured game (roughly UTR 4–6).

What testers report
Playtests sum up the 2026 in one line: controlled power gets smarter — and slightly firmer. Hy-Bor steadies the impact and gives a more connected contact than the 2024, while the head shape widens the useful hitting zone toward the upper hoop. The chassis stays flexible and arm-friendly, keeping it one of the easiest all-round frames to live with in its class.
What changed since the 2024
- Slightly more control and precision.
- Slightly less comfort for the arm.
This is less an upgrade than a repositioning: the new version moves the balance rather than improving across the board. Weigh the points above against your own game — the 2024 may still be the better fit.
