Babolat RPM Blast 18 String Customer feedback

Comments: This is a great string. I just got it for my Babolat AeroPro Drive GT. This is the best string with lots of pop and nice topspin. I strung mine at 57 lbs and after 30 hours it still has not broken. A very thin string that is expensive but worth it. I found it way better than Babolat Pro Hurricane.

Comments: Comfortable and great pocketing for a poly. Also for an 18 gauge it is quite durable. I broke my mains after about 20 hours, and it was actually a bit of a mis-hit that broke it. Impressive control, precision and feel. I've played with Tecnifibre Black 17, Luxilon ALU Power 16, hybrids with both of those poly's. Babolat RPM 18 has the best feel, spin, control and pop. Truly is the total package if you have a fairly developed stroke and not too prone to arm troubles. The 18 gauge does help if you are borderline with arm problems when using poly's. I had elbow and shoulder issues with other string configurations mentioned and have had shoulder surgery, but after a couple of months with this so far no issues. I can't play multi's or synthetic gut, as I break either in about 4-6 hours of play.

Comments: Great string! It performs better with lower tensions, such as 52-54 lbs.

Comments: Babolat RPM Blast is a great string just not in the 18 gauge version. I really enjoy hitting with RPM Blast so I thought I'd try out the 18 gauge version. Bad idea. I'm really not a player who breaks strings very often but I broke these after around 4.5 hours of play time (it usually takes a full 15+ hours for me to break most strings). I actually strung this in the mains at 55 lbs with Wilson NXT Tour 18 in the crosses also at 55 lbs. Naturally I though the NXT would break since it has a reputation of short life span but that wasn't the case. This was actually an excellent combination for a player that is seeking a nice blend of power, feel, and control. However, it would be very wise to try the 16 or 17 gauge of RPM Blast as I'm sure they will last much longer. Best string combination I have ever tried was Luxilon Alu Power 16L mains with Babolat Natural Gut 16 in the crosses (natural gut is just too expensive). For those who are wondering I strung this on my Babolat Pure Drive Roddick GT+, which I would strongly recommend to take out for a demo!!!

Comments: I strung it at 52lbs on a Volkl PB 10 Mid. Love the strings. There's great feel, control and power. I can hit out with lots of power, but balls still drop in. I hit some nice dipping passing shots, too. It has less ball pocketing and not as comfortable as Klip Screamer, but the enhanced control more than makes up for it.

Comments: Liked the 17 version, 18 is better! Works great as a hybrid with Gamma Prodigy!
