Description
The Babolat RPM Blast 16G Tennis String Half Reel is the string of choice for Rafael Nadal, and Jo-Wilfreid Tsonga. RPM Blast stays with the octagonal profile but enhances the spin generation through the use of a new dye and coating. The cross-linked 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 stringbed 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.
Construction: Extruded co-polyester monofilament
Color: Black
Gauge: 16g / 1.30mm
Length: 330 ft / 100 m
Features:
-Silicon based coating for snap-back
-Softer Octagonal profile for Spin
-Used on ATP and WTA Tour

rpm16
4.66666666667/5
Of the three gauges that rpm comes in, the 16 has the best durability and good feel. It is best suited for a player that hits with great pace and spin. It doesn`t move, which gives consistency to response. The feel is such that it doesn`t translate the board y feel that many polyester strings have, and there is a degree of softness to it

I bought a string machine three months ago. RPM strings are known to be a bit difficult to string, but I worked it out and now Ive been playing really well. I play USTA tennis and Im going to be playing D3 college tennis this coming fall. Get RPM, great price too!!
