Fixed it for you
To be clear, I have no issue with them switching him to a new 'paint job'. From a marketing standpoint, it makes perfect sense: You already have two widely recognized Italian players using Head racquets in Berrettini (Extreme) and Sinner (Speed). Why double up on the Extreme line with Musetti?
Also...I'm assuming he's not switching frames, given that (as I understand it) Musetti was actually using the Extreme Tour mold. I guess maybe now would be a good time to loop @dr325i into the conversation?

And going forwards Musetti will be using...?
Why not just go for a Musetti/Bianchi Italophile collab.
having already borrowed the Celeste paint scheme?

Is he switching? Or is he just goofing around at the Next Gen finals?
And…did this thread disappear for half a day?!??

Only he knows, but the type of results he had earlier in the year have largely come to a halt. Maybe he’s “searching?”

Switch or just PJ switch?

Bianchi Celeste is the colour; you know, the bike company that championed the use of Countervail tech. - worked out much better for them than it did for Wilson.

According to our resident Head expert, switch…at least for now.
My guess would be he’s using this tournament/exhibition to put the new frame to the test. Maybe make some tweaks, then spend some time in the off season getting used to it, and make a decision before heading to Australia.
FAA did something similar with the PA VS, using the new version at the ATP Cup, then going back to his original frame.

Although the good dr. did say he may not he is...

Hmmm...good point. He originally said it was the "real Boom Pro in the picture", then, as you pointed out, "he may be going Boom". No "yes, absolutely 100% he used the Boom Pro in the match against Baez".Although the good dr. did say he may not he is...
But...maybe we're parsing his words a little too finely, reading intrigue into a situation that has none. I guess we'll just have to wait until next week's episode...

Does Head have the most racket lines?
So confusing even for a gear junkie.

Yes actually, Head has most silos:
- Gravity
- Speed
- Radical
- Extreme
- Prestige
- Boom
They are all different with some "overlaps". But I'd say they have no gaps in their portfolio

Is Boom replacing Instinct?

What Head racquet does the Boom feel closest to?

Instinct!

Semi-Pro
Not at this point. The Instinct continues into 2022.
That's not what I am feeling in the Pro version and in my short time with the MP prototype.

I would not say "replacing" however, Instinct is history (retail)

As 360+, there will not be Auxetic Instinct

I love the Bianchi Celeste green. Shame it had to be paired with the name "Boom."
Seems like this frame will be very well received, however, so I guess we'll have to deal with it.

Its like they all consulted the same racket design consultant and determined that 2020s were the years of asymmetrical throat color blocking. Is originality dead?

Semi-Pro
Yes. Just a cosmetic change
Looks like a short-lived switch. He's playing with the Extreme Tour today against Gaston.

what is difference of this boom stick ? is it good or bad ?
Still in the testing phase. Rublev did this a couple of years ago when he was still with Wilson. He used an Ultra, Burn and Pro Staff during this event.

THen which silo would you perhaps compare it to? I mean closest ,obviously if we are calling them silos then they are somewhat mutually exclusive or meant to be.
oops just saw this https://tt.tennis-warehouse.com/index.php?threads/head-boom-official-thread.712457/

The head shape of the racket Musetti is using looks a bit like that of an LM Instinct or is he in fact using an Extreme?
