Head Boom MP 2026

Head's power-first frame for 2026, built around a new boron-carbon shaft material called Hy-Bor for extra stability without a harsh feel. A wide, flexible beam and forgiving upper hoop make it easy to whip up spin and depth without needing a full swing. Best for players who want easy pace and are willing to trade a little stability against heavy hitters for maneuverability.

Technology

Hy-Bor — An aerospace-grade composite that fuses compression-resistant boron fibers with carbon in the shaft, increasing structural stability and delivering a more solid, connected feel through impact without the harsh stiffness typically associated with more stable frames. New for 2026.

Auxetic 2.0 — A flexible polymer layup construction in the yoke and handle that actively responds to impact forces. The material expands under tension rather than contracting, providing real-time feedback, improved vibration dampening, and a more connected feel at contact.

Graphene Inside — Strategically positioned graphene reinforcements in key stress areas of the frame that increase structural stability and optimize energy transfer from racquet to ball without adding significant weight.

Morph Beam — A frame construction that merges an elongated box beam shaft with a wider, more powerful upper hoop, blending control in the lower frame with power and spin access in the upper hoop.

AI Pattern — A machine-learning-optimized grommet placement and string spacing pattern designed to maximize spin and power while maintaining shot-shaping ability. New for 2026.

Directional Drilling — A grommet drilling system that increases power and enlarges the sweet spot while delivering a plush impact feel across the string bed.

Power Grommets — Enlarged grommets that maximize string movement for increased power and a more responsive string bed.
