HEAD Boom Team Tennis Racquet — 4 3/8" Grip, 102 in² Head, Pre-Strung with Velocity MLT 16g at 55 lbs

The Boom Team combines HEAD's Graphene reinforcement and Auxetic construction to deliver a stable yet lively feel across a 102 in² head size. This model arrives strung with Velocity MLT 16g in black at 55 pounds tension, giving a balanced mix of control and pop right out of the cover. With a 275 g unstrung weight and a slightly head-light balance, it's tuned for players who want explosive response without a stiff, unforgiving frame.

How does the Boom Team generate extra power without sacrificing control?

The racquet’s new head shape and 102 in² head size increase the effective hitting area for added ball speed, while Graphene strategically placed in the frame stabilizes energy transfer for more consistent shots. Auxetic zones adapt under load, helping the frame deform in a way that enhances rebound without harsh feedback.

• 102 in² (660 cm²) head offers a larger sweet spot.
• Graphene reinforcement improves stability and energy transfer.
• Auxetic construction broadens under tension for responsive ball return.
• 16/19 string pattern balances spin potential and control.

What does the pre-strung Velocity MLT 16g at 55 lbs do for playability?

Pre-stringing with Velocity MLT 16g at 55 pounds gives a ready-to-play balance of comfort, touch and ball pocketing. Mid-range tension like 55 lbs preserves feel while allowing the multifilament string to offer liveliness and reduced vibration on contact.

• Velocity MLT 16g provides cushioning and dynamic response.
• 55 lb tension maintains accessible power and consistent spin.
• Out-of-the-box setup saves time and ensures predictable performance.

Is the Boom Team comfortable and forgiving for regular play?

Yes—the frame geometry and materials prioritize a player-friendly experience: the slightly head-light balance and 275 g unstrung weight keep the racquet agile, while the Auxetic and Graphene technologies soften impact and expand the effective sweet spot. That combination reduces harsh feedback and helps players sustain longer hitting sessions.

• 275 g (9.7 oz) unstrung weight for maneuverability.
• 330 mm balance (0.5 in HL) aids quick racquet head movement.
• Forgiving frame design supports consistent ball striking.

How do the specs affect spin, volleying and court versatility?

The 16/19 string pattern encourages accessible spin generation without sacrificing control for volleys. The racquet’s length (27.0 in) and beam profile offer a mix of reach and stability, making it suitable for baseline rallies and net exchanges alike.

• 16/19 pattern enables easier topspin creation.
• 25 mm beam balances power and feel at the net.
• Standard 27.0 in length for predictable handling and court balance.

Who is this for: The HEAD Boom Team is aimed at intermediate players seeking a lively, forgiving racquet that delivers explosive response without a heavy or overly stiff frame. It suits club competitors, regular practice partners and improving juniors stepping up to a full adult-size racquet who value immediate playability from a pre-strung setup.
