HEAD Boom Alternate Junior Tennis Racket

The HEAD Boom Alternate Junior Tennis Racket is designed for ambitious junior players aged 9 to 11 who are developing a modern game and want a combination of accessible power, stability and feel. Weighing 245 g unstrung and measuring 660 mm (26 in), it takes its construction cues from the adult BOOM MP and BOOM MP L while using smaller dimensions suited to junior players.

Finished in a distinctive tonal purple design, the Boom Alternate Junior combines Hy-Bor, Auxetic 2.0 and Graphene Inside technologies. It is endorsed by Coco Gauff and Lorenzo Musetti, with the purple colourway reflecting Gauff's favourite colour.

At 245 g unstrung, this is a genuine junior frame rather than simply an adult racket with junior graphics. Its 26 inch length and smaller overall dimensions are designed specifically around the needs of developing players aged 9 to 11.

Who is the HEAD Boom Alternate Junior Tennis Racket best for?

The HEAD Boom Alternate Junior Tennis Racket is best for ambitious junior tennis players aged 9 to 11 who want a 26 inch racket combining power, stability and feel.

Its 245 g unstrung weight, 100 in² head and 16 x 19 string pattern make it a purpose built junior racket, while its construction draws on the adult BOOM MP and MP L models.

Key features

245 g weight keeps the frame appropriately weighted for its junior design.
100 in² head size provides the hitting area for this junior BOOM frame.
16 x 19 string pattern uses an open string layout.
Hy-Bor technology in the shaft enhances perceived stability and creates a more solid impact feel.

Graphene Inside strengthens the frame, adds stability and optimises energy transfer from racket to ball.

What should you consider before buying?

The HEAD Boom Alternate Junior Tennis Racket is specifically designed around the needs of junior players aged 9 to 11, but age should not be the only factor when choosing a junior racket. Height, physical development and the racket the player currently uses are also worth considering.

Why buy junior tennis rackets from Players Sports?

Players Sports combines a broad multi brand racket range with specialist tennis knowledge, racket services and the support of a New Zealand owned sports retailer.

Frequently asked questions

What head size and string pattern does the HEAD Boom Alternate Junior have?

The HEAD Boom Alternate Junior has a 100 in² head and 16 x 19 string pattern. It also has a 24 mm beam and a balance specification of 320 mm / 0.4 in HL.

Does the HEAD Boom Alternate Junior come strung?

Yes. The HEAD Boom Alternate Junior Tennis Racket comes factory strung, so it is supplied with strings already installed. Players can later restring the racket when required or choose a different string and tension setup as their preferences develop.

What does Hy-Bor do in the HEAD Boom Alternate Junior?

Hy-Bor is designed to enhance perceived stability and create a more solid impact feel. HEAD incorporates the material into the racket shaft, using its compressional strength to maximise the player's sense of stability when striking the ball.

*This racket comes factory strung with brand recommended strings inclusive in the price.

However, customised string selection and tension requests are available once this racket is added to the cart. Simply select your string and we will do the rest! Or if you do not wish to have your racket custom strung (receive ‘as is’ strung with factory strings) just click the ‘NO THANKS’ tab.

As a guide only, please allow for 3 – 5 working days for custom stringing to be completed.
