Babolat RPM Blast is the spin-focused co-polyester made famous on tour, supplied here as a full 200m reel in the thin 1.20mm gauge. The black monofilament construction bites into the ball for heavy topspin while holding a stable, predictable string bed. At 1.20mm it is livelier and more spin-friendly than the thicker gauges, making it a strong pick for players who prioritise shape and bite over maximum string life.
Key Features
- 1.20mm gauge — enhanced snap-back and bite on impact for aggressive topspin with precise depth control.
- 200m reel — a full spool that brings the cost per restring down substantially.
- Co-polyester monofilament — high tension stability and predictable response over long sessions.
- Spin-oriented profile — engineered to maximise topspin potential for heavier, safer shots.
- Control-focused feel — a firm, sharp response that rewards accurate shot placement.
- Black finish — a clean on-court look that hides wear marks well.
Performance Overview
RPM Blast at 1.20mm plays fast and spin-heavy. The thinner gauge lets the mains slide and snap back more freely, which translates directly into extra revolutions on the ball — you notice it most on heavy cross-court forehands and on kick serves, where the ball drops sharply inside the line.
Control is the other half of the story. The polyester construction keeps the string bed firm, so full swings still land in play and depth stays consistent through a match. For a stringer or club, a 200m reel means every frame comes off the machine the same, which matters when you are restringing for a squad rather than a single player.
Benefits
- More spin and higher net clearance without sacrificing control.
- Better value per restring than buying individual sets.
- Consistent tension response across multiple frames on rotation.
- A tour-proven string profile available to club players.
