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.
