New Tennis Racquets for 2024
If you're wondering about all the new racquet models for 2024, keep checking back here. We'll keep updating this article as the 2024 tennis racquets are released.
Head Boom
For pre-sale now | Available in early March
The newest racquet line from Head, the Boom series is designed for the modern game. Boom racquets combine impressive levels of power and spin with great feel and arm-friendly comfort. This second generation of Boom racquets features Auxetic 2, a uniquely flexible material in the yoke and handle to optimize the response. The 2024 Head Boom racquets come in junior models, along with the Boom Pro, Boom MP (in two color options), Boom Team, Boom Team L and Boom MP L. With this range of weights and head sizes, there is a Boom option for all levels of players.
Wilson Blade v9
Available now
The Blade series is revered for its pinpoint precision and outstanding ball feedback, featuring some of the thinnest and most flexible beams in Wilson's lineup. This ninth generation's newest technology is called StableFeel, which introduces a slightly firmer construction for greater stability and easier access to power. There are also new Clip & Go grommets, which lock down the bumper and help make grommet replacement easier. Blade fans will still find the FortyFive layup technology, which increases lateral flexibility to complement the explosive vertical mechanics of the modern game.
Head Speed
Available now
The Speed family of racquets sits between the classic control of the Prestige line and the modern power of the Extreme series. These racquets are perfect for all-court players looking for a good balance between power and control along with an arm-friendly feel and easy access to spin.
For 2024, Head adds Auxetic 2 to the layup, a uniquely flexible material in the yolk and handle to optimize the feel and response. There are five racquets in the line-up: the Speed Pro, the Speed MP, Speed MP L and Speed Team. The Speed MP L is an addition to the line, offering a lighter weight (295 grams unstrung) at the 100-square-inch head size.
Babolat Pure Strike
Available now
The wait is over. The updated Pure Strike hits the market in 2024. The update include FSI Control technology, which tightens the string spacing for an even more precise and predictable trajectory, and NF2 Tech, which uses flax inserts in the shaft to help dampen harsh impact vibrations. Like the previous generation, this frame benefits from Control Frame Technology, which blends square and elliptical cross sections to deliver a stable hitting experience with excellent ball feedback. With their Hybrid Beam Construction, the Babolat Pure Strike racquets offers more control and feel than the Pure Drive and Aero franchises. For this release, Babolat offers six models: the Pure Strike 97 (formerly called the Pure Strike VS), Pure Strike 98 in 16x19 and 18x20 string patterns, a totally new Pure Strike 100 16x20, Pure Strike 100 and Pure Strike Team.
Yonex EZONE Aqua Night
Available now
Yonex takes the popular 2022 version of the EZONE series and gives it a special cosmetic for 2024. The Aqua Night versions of the EZONE 100, 98 and 100L offer the same specs and playability as the 2022 versions.
Dunlop CX
Available now
The most classic of Dunlop lines, the CX series, get a big update for 2024. For this update, Dunlop updates the racquet mold, adding more of a box shape below the 10/2 axis to enhance stability, control and feel. Additional changes for 2024 include Powergrid Stringtech+, which features wider cross string spacing to enhance spin and power. Dunlop also updates the stiffness profile, adding greater flexibility on the inner part for the frame for enhanced dwell time and pocketing, while also stiffening the racquet's face for added stability and power. To help reduce harsh impact vibrations, Dunlop adds a highly elastic material (named Vibroshield) to the midsection of both the hoop and shaft. This is complemented by Sonic Core with Infinergy, a uniquely pliable material applied to the 3/9 axis of the head to boost comfort and power. For this launch, Dunlop offers five models: the CX 200 Tour 16x19, CX 200, CX 400 Tour, CX 200 LS and the CX 200 OS.
Volkl Vostra
Available now
The newest line from Volkl is a nod to the brand's beginnings. Vostra is a mix of the name Volkl with the family's home town of Straubing. Brought together, we get the name Vostra for the 2024 racquet line. The new technology for the Vostra series is Red Cell, which combines a V-Cell carbon fiber with a flexible REVA resin, resulting in a more elastic construction for enhanced stability, pocketing and feel. For the initial launch, Volkl is offering four racquets: the Vostra V8 in two weights (300g and 285g), the Vostra V4 and the Vostra V6.
