Babolat RPM Blast + VS Cordage

The hybrid construction combines two different string types to balance the power and comfort of natural gut with the spin and durability of a co-polyester. This setup is designed to give you a more versatile playing experience than using a single type of string.

The octagonal shape features sharp edges that bite into the ball upon impact. This mechanical grip helps generate more spin, allowing you to hit heavy, dipping shots that stay within the lines.

Yes, the co-polyester monofilament construction is highly durable and specifically engineered to withstand the friction and tension of aggressive, high-swing-speed play. It is an excellent choice for heavy hitters looking to reduce the frequency of restringing.

This string is rated as medium-stiff, providing a firm and responsive feel. It is best suited for players who prefer a crisp, direct connection to the ball rather than a soft or muted sensation.

While the primary focus of this string is control and spin, the hybrid construction is designed to offer a boost in power compared to a full bed of stiff polyester. It provides a balanced response that allows you to swing freely without sacrificing accuracy.

The 17 gauge (1.25mm) is a thinner diameter that offers a better feel and increased bite on the ball compared to thicker gauges. While it provides excellent performance, it may wear out slightly faster than a thicker 16 gauge string.
