HEAD Boom 2024 Review 

Appreciate it! Tack!

How do you like the stability e.g. on service returns? For me it felt just there unstable.

Sounds good! Have fun!

Depending where you are there might be demo program from web shops

@@anttitapio4145 no demos where I live :(

The Radical has more control and it is a great racquet but the Boom Pro gives you more on the ball with good feel

Comparison between this the Radical and the extreme Tour is a must!

The Boom is a great choice. I much prefer it over the Clash 100. It's also more arm-friendly than the Pure Drive but has plenty of power. Depending on what weight she is most comfortable with, there is also a lighter Boom MP L version. But I'm female, age 44, and use the MP. It feels lighter than advertised to me, very easy to swing.

Boom MP offers excellent power and depth! Gravity a little less power but still good if you like to swing out.

Had the same, switched to Ezone 98, problem solved.

Radical is sweet af once you customize weight and use spin strings at slightly lower tension than normal ...many people that luv the Rad MP have added weight ... most balanced well rounded racket for all areas imho but you have to dial it in with lil customizing... esp considering heads quality control lag. You could easily get a head racket that you hate and or luv if you ordered three seemingly identical rackets at same time and this is case for almost all rackets made in China

Same

I found Head to be slightly bigger than Wilson. Slightly rounder grip, might be why as well.

Same here.

Nothing wrong w that one 👍🏻

I’ve just switched from the Speed Pro 2022 to the Boom Pro 2022. The speed is a great racket but it’s heavy and ironically feels slow in the swing. As soon as I started with the Boom I just got so much whip my backhand (one handed) was a completely different shot. A lot of people weren’t keen on this racket but for my style (one handed aggressive baseline) it’s great!

Before anyone says it, I know they’re the same weight - but as soon as you handle them both the Boom is so much more manoeuvrable

@@thebisonroom Thank you for your feedback, I appreciate it. I couldn't take it anymore and played my new Head Boom Pro 2024 for the first time on Friday. I strung it with the exact same string as my Head Speed Pro 2022 for the best comparison. For the main string I used a Solinco Revolution and a Head Velocity MLT in a cross, both at 22kg. It's still cold outside, so I didn't go with the voltage high. Any hybrid of a similar setup is a great combination on my Speed racquet, but after 2 years I still haven't found a setup that makes it easier to produce spin. If I don't get my leverage and swing 100% technically correct, this racquet doesn't forgive. But if I do it right, it's perfect. My problem is probably that after an hour of playing I get tired and I'm not good enough for this racket anymore. I had completely different feelings with the new Head Boom Pro 2024 racket. This setting is of course too loose, next time I will probably try to increase the tension by 2 kg with a hybrid or by 1 kg with a full bed Solinco Revolution or Confidential. But despite that I was able to keep control of the ball very easily. Producing spin was very easy on my weaker forehand, but so was my better two-handed backhand. The power that this racquet provides compared to the Speed is also very easy and most importantly accurate due to the added spin. After 1 hour of playing I was not tired at all and could still play my game. So after my first game with this racquet I have positive feelings and I think this is a good choice for anyone who has a demanding racquet and can't manage it...

​@@thebisonroom I agree with you. This racket is lighter than it actually is. The balance point is excellently designed and thanks to it, it has easier maneuverability...

The Gravity Pro is great, but the Boom Pro is more exciting

I would say better than the Radical, but for the Pro the launch angle is fairly controlled

@@Tennisnerd thanks a lot for the answer. I have been using the radical for a while and I love the 2023 MP version customised. Yet at moments when I want to be ultra aggressive sometimes I feel short on power and I was thinking to change to hybrid setup to see if that can help rather than use full poly but after this review and another one I saw around, it seems that Boom Pro offer good power without sacrificing stability and it could be worth to give it a try

I play/played with Prestige Tour, Gravity Tour and Pro and Speed MP. Tried de Boom MP but found it had less controllable power than the ones above. Has lots of power and if you can control it maybe it's your racket.

@@tennismoos6448 my current choice is the gravity pro but haven’t compared to other control racquets, how do they differ if u can remember

@@_eyuizcn_6051 Gravity Tour had slightly more power for me also good control, Speed MP felt great on spin, power and serve for me, Prestige Tour, less power but great control. Only played 15 mins with a Radical MP so difficult to say. But this is only my “feel”. Hope I can demo a Boom Pro one day.

Current line! Old HEAD racquets are for me the best

@@Tennisnerd how is the power compared to the Radical MP? They are both 400 on Head’s CPI. But I don’t trust that scale completely

Rackets being so exspensive now , the previous model is a bargain then and I think I prefer the paint job on the Previous model aswell

And what do you mean by old? What years?@@Tennisnerd

@@PaulKirk-wc1vs You´r absolutely right, I wonder, how much of a difference there is

It’s not about the racket yall need to learn to use the right strings and low tension

i had arm issues too- tennis and golfer elbow and struggled for months. part of it though was due to bad form. I normally use a babolat pure drive plus with a hybrid with gut in mains at 54 adn velocity in the cross at 54. I bought two head boom pros- 2022 model, and added lead tape to the sides and a little on the top and used that for a while. I found it hit less crisp than the Babolat. But i liked the Boom a lot!! However because of the feel and the crispness i went back to the Babolat and dropped the tension by two pounds, cleaned up my strokes adn no more elbow pain. So i guess the Boom Pro defilnitely helped my elbow given teh R Aof 63 or so vs 69.

I also got very painful elbow after hitting with the Gravity Pro for 1 hour only. Strange because it is supposedly a soft racquet. I normally play with a Prestige Pro and no issues with that. Gravity Pro had Poly Tour Pro(soft for a poly string) strung at 50 lbs and still hurt my arm. I am aware that nowadays it is fashionable to go lower in tension but I just can’t play with anything lower than 50 lbs.

@@Stu49583gravity pro is such a flexible racquet. It must be the string set up.

@@rdmalonso1 not necessarily. Another unusual thing was the heavy swingweight with that huge teardrop shaped head. Maybe my arm is just not used to it

Hey man, no those are his racquets that he got from Safiullin and his current match weapon

@@Tennisnerd no worries, I will stick to my 22 version then. Thx!

Hmm…deciding in the next days

Somewhere in between Eastern and Semi-Western

@@Tennisnerd I use a semi-western, my coach it's trying me to change to a grip like yours to get more depth, I am not so sold on the idea haha

It’s very good, more dependable, but the Boom Pro is more exciting

I wonder if it's a gen Z design thing. Us older players like more clean and classic looks.

its actually good for an all court player but mostly a baseliner that wants more power than the Speed. At least that is the way i was usilng the former Boom Pro model.

Think they released it to take a bit of a swipe at yonex as the head shape is very similar, I use the outgoing pro which I really like as yonex have always given me wrist issues due to the lack of flare at the end of the butt cap so it’s worth a shot of you like the head shape.

The boom was released to purely target the Coco Gauff crowd. This is likely the best selling racquet for women in Heads line of full weight racquets.

@@curttheboywonder the boom rackets are being used by a lot of teaching pros because it is easier on the arm. My male pro uses the MP. I used the Pro whicdh is 15 grqams heavier than the mp

Quite different

Underpowered ? Boom has more power than all yours models...
