Description

The HEAD BOOM MP UL 2026 delivers ultra-lightweight speed with explosive, easy power, making it an ideal choice for beginners, improving intermediates, and rising juniors who want maximum manoeuvrability, effortless depth, and the confidence to attack within the most powerful series in the HEAD lineup.

Purple is Coco Gauff’s favourite colour, and the tonal purple alternate cosmetic delivers a bold, progressive look that perfectly reflects the racquet’s explosive, high-energy performance.

Weighing just 9.0 ounces unstrung, this model delivers effortless access to power and spin with its ultra-easy manoeuvrability and head-light balance. The 100 square inch head offers a generous, forgiving sweet spot without feeling oversized, striking a comfortable balance between power and control, while the open 16x19 string pattern promotes strong ball bite and snapback for impressive spin potential.

The 2026 Boom blends explosive power with enhanced feel through a suite of modern frame technologies. New Hy-Bor material in the shaft increases compressional strength for greater perceived stability and a more solid impact response, while Auxetic 2.0 delivers real-time feedback for a more connected feel to the ball. Graphene Inside reinforces the frame to optimize energy transfer and stability, and the AI-designed string pattern works with the uniform layout to promote a consistent, reliable trajectory. Combined with a Morph Beam construction, directional drilling, and enlarged Power Grommets to expand the sweet spot and maximize string movement, the result is a racquet that offers easy, effortless power with impressive touch and comfort for attacking players.

For players stepping into their first full-size performance frame, the HEAD BOOM MP UL 2026 makes the game feel fast, fun, and confidence-inspiring from the very first swing. Its ultra-light design encourages smooth mechanics and aggressive shot-making, while the built-in stability and modern technologies ensure it remains supportive as skills develop, making it a smart choice for growing players who want a racquet that can evolve with their game.

Photos used contain images of strings for illustration purposes. Adult tennis racquets are unstrung unless otherwise noted or stringing services have been selected above. Brand logo stencils are not applied by default with stringing services. If you request brand logo stencils, please note that a stencil is painted onto the strings within a brand's stencil and may wear off over time - this is how stencils are applied on tour. Depending on the string you select, the stencil paint application fullness, colour and visibility may vary.
Adult racquets generally do not come with covers. To protect your racquet, we recommend getting a racquet bag.

Product specs such as weight may vary slightly from racquet to racquet to what is advertised due to the manufacturing process.

Adult Racquets Sizing Information
Grip Size Length
L0 (4") 4" (4 inches)
L1 (4 1/8") 4 and 1/8" (4.125 inches)
L2 (4 1/4") 4 and 2/8" (4.25 inches)

To determine your grip size without using a racquet, measure from the tip of your ring finger to the major fold crease in your palm. Write down the distance to the nearest 8th of an inch. This is your standard grip size.

Grip size palm measurements for tennis racquets

If you fall somewhere between the measurements, it is recommended to choose the smaller grip size as you can always build the grip size up using an overgrip (for a slight increase) or a grip build-up sleeve (for a half or full size increase). The grip measurements above factor in the pre-installed factory grip.
