Babolat RPM Hurricane String

This string is built for control. Because it is a firm co-polyester, it doesn't offer much inherent power, meaning you will need to generate your own pace through your swing speed.

The eight-sided profile is designed to grab the ball at impact. This 'bite' helps you generate significant topspin and encourages the string to snap back into place, which is ideal if you hit with heavy, aggressive topspin.

Generally, no. As a firm monofilament, it prioritizes durability and control over comfort. If you have a history of tennis elbow or prefer a softer, more dampened feel, you might find this string too stiff.

It is best suited for intermediate to advanced baseliners who have long, fast swings and want to hit with confidence without the ball sailing long. If you are a heavy hitter who breaks strings frequently, this is a reliable, durable option.

At 1.25mm, this is a thinner gauge that offers a bit more feel and spin potential than thicker options. While it is durable for a co-polyester, heavy hitters who break strings very quickly might prefer a thicker gauge if they find the 1.25mm snaps too soon.
