HEAD BOOM MP (295g) 2022 TENNIS RACKET

HEAD Radical TEAM (280g) 2022 TENNIS RACKET

Description:

The new entry enters the racket market with great personality. No wonder the technicians renamed it the Perfect Racket.

At Head they have no fear of proposing new projects capable of shaking up the tennis universe, and few brands are as dynamic and innovative. The Austrian house is definitely a champion in respecting the past and tradition, while at the same time adding fresh and modern frames.

By the way, the term “fresh” is no coincidence: the black and turquoise livery, simple but of great impact, is recognizable from miles away.

The masses are not too polarized: instead, they’re actually distributed quite evenly, as both the POLAR INDEX and the FLEXPOINT ANALYSIS graph show.

There would be a lot to say about all the technologies used, but here are the main key points.

The most important one, AUXETIC, is clearly very dear to HEAD designers. We are talking about materials capable of reacting differently based on the stress received, specifically fibers that acquire or lose thickness depending on the impact with the ball. This material is placed in the bridge of the racket, translating into an excellent feeling during every shot and a dampening of harmful vibrations even in not perfectly centered shots.

NI PATTERN, on the other hand, is a regular hole placement, resulting in a string pattern with uniform spacing.

Finally MORPH BEAM refers to a totally innovative design of the frame and sections, with the only continuity of the enlargement of the impact area at 2 and 10, as already seen to work well in the GRAVITY line. The only true continuity is found in the reference material, namely graphene, used along the whole frame, therefore the name GRAPHENE 360°.

The technical specifications

Amazingly the measurement data is practically identical to the numbers given by HEAD. They claim that great care was given to the design and production of this racket, and as first impression you really have to agree with them. The result can definitely be seen from our tests. Furthermore, it seems to be a very balanced tool from every point of view. The not excessive inertia derives from a balance a little further back than the classic 320 mm.

Who is it for

HEAD has definitely done a good job in proposing a highly versatile racket: if we want to exclude competitive and very experienced players, Boom MP can be used with good results by a very high percentage of players.

It’s very suitable for a female audience or young athletes looking for a tool that lets them use the arm at high speed, without tiring it too much.

Having a generous sweet spot and few vibrations makes it attractive even for the club players, especially for those who enjoy playing doubles.
