Where to buy
What players say
The Boom XCeed sits in Head's entry-level Xceed line sold mainly through big-box retailers rather than the specialty tennis shops that draw enthusiast reviewers, so there is no Tennisnerd, Tennis Warehouse University, or established YouTube playtest of it. The handful of verified buyer reviews on Tennis Warehouse and Amazon are consistently positive, praising it as an easy, comfortable, forgiving frame for beginners and recreational players, with one senior player restringing at higher tension to get enough spin for competitive play.
Best for
- True beginners
- Recreational and senior players
- Players wanting a big forgiving sweet spot
- Arm-friendly comfort
Pros
- lightweight and easy to swing/maneuver
- large 107 sq in head gives a forgiving sweet spot on off-center hits
- comfortable on the arm, cited as good for senior players
- came well strung out of the box per buyer feedback
Cons
- little independent or expert review coverage exists for this specific model
- one long-term owner had trouble sourcing replacement grommets and got no response from Head about parts
- stock spin/power needed tension adjustment (51 lbs) to feel sufficient for competitive play

16G strings, which work great for me (senior tennis player)... not quite as hard on the wrist as the 17G
