The HEAD Boom MP L Neon 2025 is a special limited-edition release in HEAD’s Boom racquet family. Inspired by the vibrant energy of New York City and the US Open, it features a bold neon lights cosmetic with custom NYC-inspired artwork—including skyscrapers, taxi cabs, and city icons.
Mechanically identical to the standard Boom MP L, this model pairs a lightweight 270g–275g (unstrung) frame with an expansive 100 square-inch head size. It is also built with Torayca bio-circular carbon fibers (derived from residual cooking oil and forestry waste) to reduce carbon emissions while delivering full explosive performance.
Performance Profile
- Maneuverability (9.5/10): Superior. The light static weight combined with a head-light balance makes it effortless to whip through the air, perfect for fast baseline strokes and quick reaction volleys.
- Easy Power (8.5/10): Generous. The distinctive Boom head shape (wider upper hoop) and 24 mm beam profile produce smooth depth and pace without requiring aggressive swing effort.
- Spin Access (8.5/10): High. The open 16x19 string bed paired with wide Power Grommets allows maximum string snap-back for easy topspin generation and kick serves.
- Comfort & Arm Protection (9.0/10): Plush. Featuring a comfortable flexible frame (~62 RA stiffness) and Auxetic 2.0 dampening, it offers a soft impact feel that absorbs harsh frame shock.
- Control & Trajectory (7.5/10): Predictable. The Morph Beam cross-section ensures reliable ball launch angles and steady direction on full swings.
Key Technologies
- Auxetic 2.0: Integrated into the yoke and handle to optimize real-time impact feedback, offering a clean, connected feel while dampening unwanted vibrations.
- Bio-Circular Carbon Construction: Incorporates sustainable Torayca carbon fibers derived from renewable bio-materials, offering eco-friendly performance without sacrificing frame strength or power.
- Morph Beam: Combines a square box-beam shaft profile (for control) with a powerful, aerodynamic head frame.
- Power Grommets & Directional Drilling: Enlarged grommet openings maximize string movement for enhanced sweet spot response and trampoline effect.
- Graphene Inside: Positioned in key locations around the hoop to increase structural stability and energy transfer upon impact.
