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.
