HEAD Boom MP L Alternate Tennis Racket – Purple
The HEAD Boom MP L Alternate tennis racket is built for intermediate tennis players who want easy access to power without swinging a heavy frame. It suits club players who like to attack from the baseline while still having the touch to mix in drop shots and angles. Ideal for regular club matches, social competition and training sessions on hard courts or synthetic surfaces across New Zealand.
This version of the Boom MP is lighter in the hand, making it easier to accelerate through the ball and generate pace with less effort. That extra manoeuvrability helps players who want quicker swings, faster reaction at the net and reliable power on groundstrokes.
The feel is where this racket stands out. HEAD’s Auxetic 2.0 construction improves the connection between racket and ball so you get clearer feedback on contact. Combined with the AI developed string pattern and directional drilling, it delivers strong depth from the baseline while still giving enough control for touch shots and drop shots.
The Boom series sits at the power end of the HEAD tennis racket range. For intermediate players building confidence in their attacking game, the Boom MP L Alternate provides easy power with a comfortable and stable feel.
The tonal purple design also gives the racket a distinctive look on court, inspired by the favourite colour of tennis star Coco Gauff.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the HEAD Boom MP L Alternate suitable for beginner tennis players?
It can work for improving beginners, but it is designed mainly for intermediate players. Beginners who are still learning technique may prefer a lighter oversize tennis racket with a larger sweet spot.
What is the difference between the Boom MP and Boom MP L?
The Boom MP L is lighter and easier to swing. This helps players generate racket head speed and power more easily, while the standard Boom MP offers slightly more stability and control for stronger hitters.
Is this tennis racket good for doubles play?
Yes. The lighter weight makes it easier to manoeuvre at the net, which is useful for quick volleys and fast reactions during doubles matches.
Is the HEAD Boom MP L Alternate good for players with slower swing speeds?
Yes. The lighter frame and power focused design help players generate depth and pace without needing a very fast swing.
