BABOLAT RPM Blast Black 16g Strings

I recently got my Aero Pro Drive strung with strings also made by Babolat. Tennis Express picked a high quality, gut string and strung the racket at a tension 59 that would emphasize control and balance the natural power of the racket. My level has play has noticeably improved and I do credit the new racket and strings with bringing out the best in my game.

I have played with various synthetic gut or gut strings. On the average, these strings lost tension within 2-3 weeks of playing and controlling the ball became an issue. Initially I was concerned that the RPM blast may be too stiff. Not so, when the racquet is strung at the mid tension range. RPM bites the ball adequately with racquet head acceleration to generate quite a bit of action on the ball. It is resilient and racquet retains its tension for at least a couple months before I have to re-string. I gave it a 4 star for performance because I still like gut in terms of feel and control. But when you analyze the cost/benefit as a recreational player, you may wish to consider this string.

Bought this string for a friend of mine and he has had no problem with its performance. He liked this string for its durability and felt it suited his racket and play very well. The PH string I bought for myself, recommended for my new Babolat racket. I play tennis 2 - 3 per week and my old string preference did not match well with my new racket. Ive found the PH string matches well with my racket and intend to keep buying it from your store in the future. Since I bought this with a couple of other items the shipping was free, and delivery was fast with no problems. Thanks, Rick

Power check Spin check Control check Comfort meh Great string if you wana hit hard with lots of spin. May wana stay away if you have elbow or shoulder problems though.

Great strings! Nothing better

To add extra spin to the ball, my son uses RPM Blast.

String doesnt have any shining. It looks like a old string. I dont see any difference in performance.

Great string. Tennis Express strung it really quickly.

This is my third time using these strings on my Babolat Aeropro Drive racket, and though I love them, they died a lot quicker than usual. After a couple weeks, my feel for hitting the ball was gone. I still enjoy these particular strings, and encourage others to buy them for more power and control.

I used severe strings and this string is best strings that i ever used. this gives me an extra spin to the ball so it is perfect when I try to cut the balls.

It's very nice string. I like the this string because the black color is good match the any raqucts and the performance is also very good. The power and spin are so nice. Player also can control the power or spin by themseleves. I think that your choice for this string must give to best playbillity to you. Enjoy~~~

This is one of the many times I have been buying these strings. For a synthetic, it delivers marvelous spin if thats what you are looking for. Great durability when at higher tension. For some reason, it does not last that long when the tension is low. I guest the lower tension allow for more movements when in contact with the ball. But who cares. As long as your game is in control, keep using them. I have tried many other strings in search of ability to spin the ball. So far, this is the best. Be careful, if you are not too familiar with this string, you might produce unwanted spins that may disrupt your type of game such as deepening the ball into the net frequently, and adding sideway curves when not hit properly. This can cause the ball to fall outside the court when aiming for those side lines. Serving can be amazing with these strings. If hit correctly. When used with an aeropro racquet, it add extra punch to it. Great product.

This string exceeds expectation, I have tested a number of racquets and strings that go with them. I have also tested the Babolat aero+gt with stirng i happened to did not know of but I suspect that it was a Babolat string too. that one responded well if you are not using a dampner. RPM Blast Black is quite different, with a tension of 56 lbs and with a slightly large dampner, I am yet to discover its performance. I tested it with the dampner on and off and also by sliding the dampner up and down. I discovered that the racquet and string responded more satisfactorilly when the placement of the dampner is atleast 1 1/2 cm from the first cross string with at least 1/2 cm from the frame, therefore in my opinion I need to use a smaller round dampner than this elongated oval that I am using now, otherwise the string the RPM Blast Black is a tough and great performing Babolat product.

Amazing!!! Lasts long, good feel, you can really spin the ball.

I was using Hurricane Pro @ 60 lbs which was too hard for my son 14 Years Old. I switched to RPM Blast and reduced tension to 56 lbs which was the right thing for him. Though the feel is quite good and he can get more topspins easier. I think RPM Blast helps him a lot.

My favorite strings. Lasts long and has great control and pop. Only disadvantage is its a little hard on the elbow and shoulders so you have to stretch out well and warm up good.

These strings give me great control. Theyre great with any aeropro drive racket. It gives a crisp respone whenever I take a hit at the ball. Highly recommend it to anyone who wants good control&spin in their racket. Plus Tennis Express gave great service whenever I purchase a racket there.

These are my all time favorite strings. They help me put a great amount of spin and power on the ball, this is my kind of game.

Thanks for package which arrived on time!!! Thanks,

Awesome. I got what I want from this string, in terms of Spin and speed of each stroke. Also, balanced control. I recommend this string those who are looking for balance in spin and speed.
