Head Boom Pro (2022)

The HEAD Boom Pro (2022) is the newest addition to the HEAD family, and is a really unique racket. This is the heaviest model in the Boom family and suits more advanced players who are looking for a powerful racket that provides great stability.

When we first picked up the HEAD Boom Pro (2022), we realised how unique this racket felt. It was incredibly easy to pick up and just start playing, and we did not need much time to get used to it. Normally it takes a little while to get used to any new racket, and I was worried that because this is such a unique racket, it would take some time to adapt to. 

The combination of a thinner, elongated box-beam shaft, often associated with more traditional controlled frames, and the powerful head, made this a really fun racket to play with.Despite having a 98 square inch head size, the racket felt very forgiving, and had a large sweet-spot. A couple of our testers noted that the feel and "pop" of the HEAD Boom MP (2022) was really addictive, as well as comfortable to play with. 

We think this racket will suit advanced players. This is because compared to the lighter models in the Boom series, this version does require a bit more preparation because fo the weight. It is however a very forgiving racket compared to other rackets in this weight group, and does feel easy to manoeuvre and generate spin and power. 

HEAD Boom Pro (2022) Specifications:

HEAD Boom Pro (2022) Technologies:

Auxetic > Auxetic constructions contain unique qualities. It is a soft fibre that when put under pressure, or "pulled" the fibres widens and stiffens up. This means that when you're playing, the racket offers touch and feel on less powerful shots, while providing more power and stability on more powerful shots, such as a serve or aggressive baseline shots. The bigger the force, the greater the Auxetic reaction. 

Graphene 360+ > This technology has been used by HEAD for the last few years. Adding graphene around the frame and in the throat strengthens the racket. As a result of this, you gain more stability, and optimise energy transfer, which means that more of the energy will go back into the ball, rather than travel up your arm.

Uni Pattern > This is a uniform string pattern which means that the ball trajectory will be more consistent and reliable, and means that the racket will be more forgiving. 

Morph Beam > This racket benefits from an unusual combination of an elongated box-beam throat, often associated with more controlled rackets, and a powerful head, giving you the best of both worlds. 

Directional Drilling > This technology increases the power as well as the sweet-spot, and creates a comfortable, plush feel upon impact

Power Grommets > The enlarged grommets allow for more string movement. This means that upon impact you can get more contact time between the ball and strings, and means that the strings will snap back into place after hitting the ball. This will allow for more spin and power
