New for 2026, the Head BOOM MP Alternate Tennis Racquet combines explosive power with refined touch, now presented in a striking tonal purple design inspired by Coco Gauff’s favourite colour.

Designed for intermediate, advanced and tournament players, the BOOM MP Alternate features a 100 sq. in. head, 295g unstrung weight and a 16x19 string pattern, delivering easy access to depth, spin and confident attacking play. The 24mm beam provides a lively, powerful response, while still allowing for delicate drop shots and controlled finishes at the net.

Hy-Bor technology in the shaft enhances perceived stability and creates a more solid impact feel, while Auxetic 2.0 construction offers real-time feedback and a more connected response. A new AI-designed string pattern optimises power and touch, supported by Graphene Inside for improved stability and energy transfer. Directional Drilling and Power Grommets expand the sweet spot and maximise string movement for added power and comfort.

Head BOOM MP Alternate Tennis Racquet (2026)

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.
