Put some tennis history in your hand with the HEAD Arthur Ashe Competition 2025 Tennis Racquet, a limited-edition version of the BOOM MP. Fifty years after Arthur Ashe became the first man of color to lift the trophy on London’s grass courts, HEAD is celebrating his legacy with this special racquet. The elegant, classic, and historic design is inspired by the look of Ashe’s old, iconic racquet, including a heritage grip design.

Sporting heritage is combined with modern performance in a racquet that has the same explosive fun as the regular, in-line BOOM MP. Designed for ambitious intermediate and advanced players who are looking to supercharge their power and confidence, the frame is made with Auxetic 2.0 technology for enhanced, sensational feel and the ultimate connection between player and racquet.
