New for 2026, the Head BOOM MP L Alternate Tennis Racquet delivers effortless power and confidence in a striking tonal purple design inspired by Coco Gauff’s favourite colour.

A lighter and more powerful alternative to the MP Alternate, this 275g unstrung frame is ideal for intermediate players who want easy access to pace and manoeuvrability for attacking play. The 100 sq. in. head and 16x19 string pattern provide explosive depth and spin, while the 24mm beam helps maintain a lively, responsive feel for both big groundstrokes and delicate drop shots.

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

Purple is Coco Gauff’s favorite color and the tonal purple design of the BOOM ALTERNATE MP L – which is endorsed by Gauff and Lorenzo Musetti – offers a striking and progressive look that matches the racquet’s explosive feel. A lighter and more powerful version of the MP model, this racquet is for intermediate players wanting easy, effortless power, and for those who like to attack. It’s part of a fun-loving BOOM series that offers the highest power level in the HEAD tennis racquet universe and combines that explosive power with the touch to play delicate drop shots.

Boost your power, confidence and fun with the BOOM ALTERNATE MP L. 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 to enhance the powerful touch. 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 while the beam and grommet sets are designed to enhance the power and the directional drilling provides extra touch and comfort.
