HEAD Boom MP UL 2026 Alternate Tennis Racquet (Unstrung)

HEAD MP UL 2026 Alternate Tennis Racquet

Detailed Description

The HEAD BOOM ALTERNATE MP UL Tennis Racquet features a bold tonal purple design inspired by Coco Gauff, whose favorite color is purple. Endorsed by both Coco Gauff and Lorenzo Musetti, the racquet delivers a striking and progressive look that reflects its explosive on-court personality. As part of the BOOM series, UL stands for “ultra-lightweight,” making this model even lighter and more powerful than the MP and MP L versions. Designed especially for beginners and developing players, the BOOM ALTERNATE MP UL offers easy, effortless power while supporting an attacking style of play. Despite its lightweight construction, it maintains the signature BOOM DNA, combining explosive power with the ability to execute soft touch shots like delicate drop shots. Part of the lifestyle-focused BOOM series from HEAD, this racquet blends fun, confidence, and performance. It incorporates advanced technologies such as a Hy-Bor reinforced shaft for improved stability and impact feel, an AI-designed string pattern for optimized power and touch, and Auxetic 2.0 technology for a more connected response. Beam and grommet construction further enhance power, while directional drilling improves comfort and touch for a smooth and enjoyable playing experience.

Features & Technologies

• HY-BOR FOR MAXIMUM STABILITY: Hy-Bor technology is engineered to enhance confidence and power by delivering exceptional structural stability throughout the racquet. Developed using state-of-the-art materials commonly found in high-performance industries, this advanced construction significantly improves compressional strength, allowing the frame to better withstand impact forces. The result is a more solid and stable feel at contact, enabling players to strike the ball with greater assurance and consistency. By reinforcing the racquet’s shaft, Hy-Bor minimizes unwanted flex and energy loss, ensuring more efficient power transfer with every shot. This increased stability not only supports aggressive play but also improves overall control, giving players the confidence to execute both powerful groundstrokes and precise touch shots with a refined, responsive feel.

• AUXETIC 2.0 FOR ENHANCED FEEL: Auxetic 2.0 technology from HEAD is designed to elevate the feel and responsiveness of every shot, giving players greater confidence on court. By actively adapting to impact forces, this advanced construction provides real-time, highly accurate feedback, allowing players to better sense the ball connection and refine their shot execution with precision. The enhanced responsiveness of Auxetic 2.0 ensures a more connected and consistent playing experience, regardless of shot intensity. Whether striking powerful groundstrokes or executing delicate touch shots, players benefit from improved control and a more intuitive feel, enabling them to perform with greater assurance and fluidity throughout the game.

• GRAPHENE INSIDE FOR STRENGTH: Graphene Inside technology is strategically integrated into most of the racquets from HEAD to significantly enhance overall frame performance. By reinforcing key areas of the racquet structure, Graphene provides exceptional strength and stability without adding unnecessary weight, ensuring a balanced and responsive playing experience for all levels of players. This advanced material also optimizes energy transfer from the racquet to the ball, allowing players to generate more power with improved efficiency on every shot. The result is a more controlled, stable, and powerful response, giving players greater confidence and consistency during intense rallies and competitive match play.

• UNI PATTERN FOR CONSISTENCY: The Uni Pattern is a specially engineered string design that ensures a uniform layout across the string bed, delivering consistent performance on every shot. This thoughtful construction helps maintain predictable ball behavior, allowing players to trust their strokes in both defensive and offensive situations. By promoting a more consistent ball trajectory, the Uni Pattern enhances control and forgiveness, even on off-center hits. The result is a more stable and reliable playing experience, giving players the confidence to execute shots with precision and maintain rhythm throughout extended rallies.

• MORPH BEAM FOR BALANCE: Morph Beam is an innovative frame construction that combines an elongated box beam shaft with a powerful racquet head design. This unique engineering approach delivers an optimal balance of structural stability and responsive performance, ensuring players experience both precision and effortless power during play. By merging these two distinct frame characteristics, Morph Beam enhances overall feel and ease of handling on the court. The result is a more controlled yet powerful response on impact, allowing players to generate consistent shots with improved confidence and fluidity in all areas of the game.

• DIRECTIONAL DRILLING FOR SWEET SPOT: Directional Drilling is an advanced racquet engineering technique that optimizes string hole placement to enhance both power and sweet spot size. By carefully designing the drilling angles, the frame allows for improved energy transfer at impact, resulting in a more efficient and responsive performance on every shot. This innovation also contributes to a more forgiving and comfortable playing experience, as it expands the effective hitting zone of the racquet. The combination of increased power and an enlarged sweet spot delivers a plush impact feel, helping players maintain consistency and confidence even on off-center hits.
