The Head Boom MP UL Alternate 2026 brings explosive power and playful confidence to the court in a striking tonal purple cosmetic inspired by Coco Gauff’s favourite colour. Endorsed by Gauff and Lorenzo Musetti, this ultra-lightweight alternate model blends bold style with accessible performance for developing players who want effortless pace and fun with every swing.

UL stands for ultra-lightweight, and the Boom MP UL Alternate 2026 is lighter and more manoeuvrable than the standard Boom MP Alternate and Boom MP models. This makes it ideal for beginners, intermediate players and up-and-coming juniors who are looking for easy, effortless power and who like to attack. The ultra-light feel allows players to swing faster with less effort, boosting confidence and fun on the court while still delivering the explosive power the Boom series is known for.

Part of the Boom family, which offers the highest power level in the Head tennis racquet universe, the Boom MP UL Alternate 2026 combines that signature power with impressive touch. Hy-Bor technology, an advanced aerospace-inspired material, has been added to the shaft to enhance perceived stability and deliver a more solid impact feel. A new AI-developed 16/19 string pattern, created using artificial intelligence and refined through player feedback, is engineered to optimise both power and touch. Auxetic 2.0 technology ensures a more connected feel to the ball, improving feedback at contact and helping players feel more in tune with every shot.

The beam and grommet system are designed to enhance power, while directional drilling adds extra touch and comfort. Finished in a vibrant purple design, the Boom MP UL Alternate 2026 brings together striking style and accessible explosive performance, making it a perfect choice for players who love powerful, confident and expressive tennis.
