Babolat RPM Blast 16g Tennis String, Black (Set)
HEAVY SPIN: Babolat RPM Blast Tennis String brings heavy spin and maximum control to your game. As you swing big with full strokes, RPM Blast consistently performs and lives up to the hype. You’ll be ripping winners, hitting dipping pass shots, and creating angles you didn’t know existed. The octagonal structure with a high-density co-polyester adds a phenomenal rotation to the ball and brings an exceptional spin.
DURABILITY: Co-polyester compound makes the RPM family very durable monofilaments. Ideal for heavy hitters who expect string performance over time.
CONTROL: Firm response provides accuracy and control to keep all your shots in the court.
INNOVATION: Your strings are the engine of your racquet. Half of your racquet’s performance comes from your strings. Which means choosing the right string is important. Babolat invented tennis string in 1875. And they’ve been innovating ever since, so you can play your best and enjoy the game more than ever.
The Babolat RPM Blast 16 is the string of choice for Rafael Nadal, and Jo-Wilfreid Tsonga. This string shares the same basic construction and co-polyester composition as the popular Babolat Pro Hurricane Tour, with a few minor tweaks. The RPM Blast stays with the octagonal profile but enhances the spin generation through the use of a new dye and coating. The the new silicone coating is designed to allow the strings to slide across each other easier. This serves two purposes, the first is that the string can move easily, effectively allowing the string bed to play as a more open pattern. The second, of course, is to enhance durability by lessening string to string friction. Babolat`s RPM Blast is a popular choice among strong baseliners seeking durability and spin to dictate the action.
