Coco Gauff won the US Open in 2023, but broke through already as a 15-year-old in Wimbledon 2019. But what is Coco Gauff’s racquet?
Introduction
Coco Gauff has excited tennis fans for years, but it took her a while to put things together enough to win a Grand Slam title. Despite being a solid talent, she had to learn how to win ugly and fight through technical deficiences to win her first major title. You can read about this and more in Dan Wolken’s excellent book, Cocomania.
Coco Gauff is currently ranked number 3 in the world, but at the time of writing she is defending lots of points at the US Open 2024.

What is Coco Gauff’s racquet?
Coco Gauff is endorsing the HEAD Boom MP in the inverted cosmetic, but she is actually playing a PT 339.2, which is a softer layup of an older HEAD Speed MP mold. She has been seen using both 18/20 and 16/19 string patterns, but is mainly using the 16/19 now.
She strings her racquet with Luxilon Alu Power at around 53 lbs or 24 kg.
You can check out the HEAD Boom MP inverted at Tennis Warehouse and you can find her complete page of gear and apparel here.
I am not aware of Gauff’s racquet specs, but if you know please comment below or reach out via Instagram.

What is the point of the Boom? Coco and Musetti both use other frames. It doesn’t seem like any pros or even good college players use this frame. Head has so many in their lineup I don’t know why the Boom even exists. As for beginner players, I can’t imsgine they can’t find a Radical, Blade, Extreme or something else that would be suitable.
