2. Setup and Preparation

The HEAD Auxetic 2.0 Boom MP L Tennis Racquet is typically shipped unstrung, allowing for personalized string selection and tension.

2.1 Stringing the Racquet

Consult a professional racquet stringer for optimal string type and tension recommendations based on your playing style.
The recommended string pattern for this model is 16/19.
Ensure the stringer uses appropriate tools and techniques to prevent frame damage.

2.2 Grip Selection and Application

The racquet comes with a synthetic grip. The standard grip size for this model is 4 1/8 inches.
If desired, an overgrip can be applied over the existing grip to customize feel, absorb sweat, or slightly increase grip size.
Ensure the overgrip is applied smoothly and securely to prevent slipping during play.

3. Operating and Performance Features

The HEAD Auxetic 2.0 Boom MP L is engineered for players seeking a balance of power and feel. Understanding its core technologies will help maximize your performance.

3.1 Auxetic 2.0 Technology

Auxetic 2.0 is a unique material construction integrated into the racquet's yoke and handle. When a "pull" force is applied (as during ball impact), Auxetic constructions expand, and when squeezed, they contract. This dynamic response provides a sensational feel and accurate feedback, enhancing the connection between the player and the ball.

3.2 Graphene Inside

Strategically positioned in most HEAD racquets, Graphene strengthens the frame, providing greater stability and optimizing energy transfer from racquet to ball. This results in more power and a solid feel on impact.
