UL stands for ‘ultra-lightweight’ and this is a new racquet in the BOOM series that is even lighter, and more powerful, than the MP and MP L models. This fun-loving racquet, which is ideal for beginners who are looking for easy, effortless power and who like to attack, is part of a BOOM series that offers the highest power level in the HEAD range. That explosive power is combined with the touch to play delicate drop shots. Boost your power, confidence and fun with the BOOM ALTERNATE MP UL. Endorsed by Coco Gauff and Lorenzo Musetti, the BOOM series is more lifestyle-focused players who enjoy the fun and social side around tennis, but the racquets also come with the latest performance technologies to enhance the powerful touch. Hy-Bor, a material mix that is mainly used in the high-tech aerospace industry, has been added to the shaft to improve the perceived stability and solid impact feel. For optimal power and touch, a new AI string pattern was created using artificial intelligence, along with subjective feedback from players. The Auxetic 2.0 technology ensures a more connected feel to the ball while the beam and grommet sets are designed to enhance the power and the directional drilling provides extra touch and comfort.
