Description

The HEAD BOOM MP L 2026 delivers explosive, effortless power in a lighter, more manoeuvrable package, making it an ideal choice for intermediate players who like to attack and want easy depth, lively feel, and the highest power level in the HEAD lineup.

The 100 square inch head size delivers an ideal balance of power and control, offering a forgiving sweet spot on off-centre shots while rewarding confident swings with accuracy and depth. While slightly heavier than last year’s model for added stability and improved plow-through, it remains a lighter racquet overall, giving players easy access to racquet head speed for spin and power. The head-light balance preserves manoeuvrability, helping you swing faster, react quicker at net, and maintain excellent touch throughout the court.

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 upgrading from earlier model, the HEAD BOOM MP L 2026 brings a slightly more solid and stable response while keeping the light, easy-swinging feel that makes the L version so approachable. If you are new to the BOOM family, it offers a confidence-inspiring blend of power and comfort that helps you swing freely, attack with intent, and continue developing your game without feeling overpowered by the frame.

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.

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.
