It’s the year 1875 and a man by the name of Pierre Babolat has just invented the first tennis string (Natural Gut). Since then, Babolat have been at the forefront of producing tennis strings.

Today is no different.

Welcome… Babolat RPM Blast Rough.

The string that is designed to offer you spin, power and incomparable comfort all rolled into one!

Now, most players think that to create more spin you need a string with a bit of a roughness to it. To create spin is down to the movement of the string during ball contact and more so after! The moment they slide back into place is what is important. This is what’s known as snap back. There are other things that will come into play though such as; technique and stringing pattern.

If you look closely on the string, you will see that the Babolat logo is actually embedded into the string. Through extensive research in France, it was found that it allows for maximum slide and minimum friction between the strings. If you don’t believe us, come into store and have a look for yourself!

Available in 3 colours, RPM Blast Rough isn’t something that you can miss on court. A shocking bright yellow, for all you players using Babolat Pure Aero rackets. Flash red that goes perfectly with latest Pure Strike, for all the next gen players and finally, the more subtle black, for the more traditional RPM Blast users. It’s also available in 2 gauges (thickness) in certain colours. A 1.25mm (17) for players looking for slightly more feel and spin, compared to the 1.30mm (16) that will offer you more durability.

With 25% of the current top 100 ATP/WTA players using Babolat strings, it probably won’t be long before that number rises!

More snap back, mixed in with extreme comfort and power… look no further!
