Babolat RPM Blast 17 is a co-polyester tennis string designed for aggressive players who rely on heavy topspin, precise control, and fast swing speeds. Its octagonal profile and silicone-based surface coating promote string movement and snapback, helping generate spin while maintaining a controlled response. The thinner 17 gauge provides enhanced ball feel and spin potential compared to the 16 gauge version, with reduced durability.
Intermediate to advanced players who generate their own power and use topspin to control aggressive shots. Particularly suited to competitive baseliners seeking a firm, spin-oriented polyester string with responsive feedback.
