Technologies include a Morph Beam, which combines an elongated box beam shaft with a more powerful construction in the head. The Boom MP also packs a wider more responsive contact zone in the upper hoop where experienced players make contact. The result is not only a more expansive sweetspot, but also a more generous spin-window at the racquet’s maximum leverage point (think heavy ball). In addition to Graphene 360+ (which helps with power and stability), this racquet includes a uniquely flexible Auxetic construction in the yolk, a feature that optimizes ball feedback according to impact location.
This is the first time that a tennis manufacturer has used Auxetic construction to make a racquet. And, according to the two British scientists who have collaborated on the project with HEAD, it’s a technological breakthrough in tennis racquet engineering that could potentially transform the sport and perhaps even the entire sports industry. Auxetic materials do something very surprising when stretched along their length: they become fatter. They have another counter intuitive property – when compressed, they get thinner.

Head Sport was founded in the United States in 1950 by aeronautical engineer Howard Head. In the late 1960s, a tennis division was created when Howard Head figured out a way of strengthening the tennis racket by introducing the aluminium frame. The idea became a success and was first introduced in the 1969 US Open. In 1975 , one of the tennis players that Head sponsored, Arthur Ashe, incredibly won Wimbledon, defeating the favoured Jimmy Connors. In 1997, Head created the first titanium and graphite tennis racket. Head proved to be successful in 2012, with three Major winners during the year : Novak Djokovic at the Australian Open, Maria Sharapova at the French Open and Andy Murray at the US Open. Head started integrating graphene into their rackets in 2013.
