Another New Head Line ??

[NickJ]

TennisNerd has posted on Facebook a prototype Head frame, no name as yet. Beam reminds me of a Blade.

These are not my pictures.

Guessing it's the new "Boom" line that's mentioned here:
Alex Bolt | Talk Tennis (tennis-warehouse.com)

Doesn't look as isometric as I thought it would be.

Still also hoping they change the name pre-release

Great thanks. Very helpful. I hadn't heard/read anything but I have been on holiday so out of the loop all things tennis for a while! Cheers.
Boom? That's awful . . . . Name change definitely needed.

I've seen the retail version. The frame is mainly painted in the "Tiffany Blue" or "Bianchi Celeste" color for you cultured folk

Head Boom

The next step in the Head evolution will logically be the Headbang.

That will be the Rublev line!

Too bad the colonel is no longer playing.

It needs to be named the "Head BWEH"

dam thats crazy

My Tecnifibre 300 CES has a some what isometric head..looks like this Boom..
Some early Babolats had this head shape..

 

[WillGinRVA]

Damnit, another racquet I need to try in my search for "the one".

 

[JeffG]

The LM Instinct has a bit of that head shape, too, I think. I'm sure some already know, but it will be interesting to see if the new mold has any older reference points. I like the LM Instinct mold but not most of the rounder, bigger at the top ones.

“massive sweetspot” part deux

 

[mvg93456]

i believe this is the instinct replacement

I wonder what type of patent Yonex has & if Head had a limit on how “isometric” they could go…

 

[longtimelurker]

You got this !

 

[Bartelby]

Isn't this Boom the replacement for the Instinct, which is to be retired as a name now Sharapova is retired?

I find it hard to believe that you could patent geometry.

IIRC it was mentioned somewhere that the Yonex patent actually ran out a few years back already...

Guess it was just manufacturers taking their time?

 

[JackSockIsTheBest]

Geez why so much damn lines... it's a pain in the a** for me to demo all of these

 

[Unforced Winner]

I found a way to simplify things for me.
I will only demo a racket if it has full cap grommets

 

[Raizu]

If you want more details on the racquet I started a thread with it and it’s specs. I didn’t know this thread was already up. I can post a full review later this weekend.

You’d make a terrible patent attorney then.

 

[hurworld]

Looks like a Blade + Yonex cross breed.

 

[Uncoil]

Cringe marketing. LET'S GOOOOO!

What about technology that is based on a specific shape?

You must have missed the "rounded corners" lawsuit between Apple and Samsung I think it was then.
