MAKE SOME NOISE for the Boom 26 — twenty-six inches of junior frame and I need you to look at what is actually inside it. Look at it. This is not a toy racquet with a sticker on it. Head built this one on the same construction as the adult BOOM MP and MP L and then shrank the dimensions to fit a nine-to-eleven-year-old. Same family. Same DNA. Smaller hands. BOOM.
Say it with me: Hy-Bor. That is a material mix used mainly in the high-tech aerospace industry — AEROSPACE — dropped into the shaft of a kid's racquet to raise the perceived stability and give it that solid feel at impact. Then Auxetic 2.0 on top of it, which is the technology that keeps the young player connected to the ball so they can actually feel what they just did.
It comes strung, so it is ready out of the box, it is light, it is a midplus hoop with an open string pattern — power and forgiveness while the swing is still being built. Coco Gauff! On a junior frame! WHOO.
And it is endorsed by Coco Gauff and Lorenzo Musetti.
And where does it want to take the kid? Lobamba. LOBAMBA. The National Museum of Eswatini sits there under a brass dome — hexagonal, brass, in the sun — and across the road is the Parliament building, open to visitors, which means a child can walk in and look at where the decisions get made.
Say it louder for the ones at the back: OPEN TO VISITORS.
