Head’s topspin racket, a 300 g MP for players who build points with heavy forehands.

First published 15 September 2026 · Last updated 6 October 2026

Who should try it?

Line it up against the Pure Aero and VCORE 100 if your game is built on topspin rallies. This profile covers the MP only.

Check you can still control depth on a full swing. The Pro and MP XL are different rackets, so don’t mix them up.

Hit high, heavy balls cross-court, then try to finish the point with a flatter drive. Check that you can still control an attacking shot.

Babolat Pure Aero · Gen9: Babolat’s topspin racket, for baseliners who like the ball to dip into the court.
Head Boom MP · 2026: A power-focused Head racket, listed at 295 g with a 100 sq in head.
Wilson Blade 100 · v10: The Blade with a bigger 100 sq in head, for players who find the 98 a little too exacting.

From published reviews

These are other reviewers’ findings, not our own play tests. Their strings, tension and playing style may differ from yours.

A clear step up on the 2024 model: easy spin and power in a forgiving, predictable package.

Where they differ: Comfort: Tennisnerd had no arm concerns with a soft set-up, while Tennis Express says it now runs firmer than most by design.

Suits: Intermediate to advanced players after easy power and spin in a 100.
