RPM Blast Black 17 String Reel

The Babolat  RPM Blast 17 String 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.
