Babolat RPM Blast 17 is a performance polyester string designed for players who want exceptional spin potential with solid control and feel from a mid-range gauge.
The 17 gauge is thinner than 16g but thicker than 18g, providing a balance between durability and responsiveness. This gauge enhances ball pocketing and spin without sacrificing too much longevity, making RPM Blast 17 a versatile choice for players who want the aggressive characteristics of RPM Blast without the quicker break-in or breakage of thinner strings.
On court, RPM Blast 17 delivers a firm, controlled feel that rewards racquet-head speed and clean technique. It’s particularly effective for players who use heavy topspin and need confidence in depth and trajectory. As with all polyester strings, it will feel firmer than multifilament or synthetic gut options and will gradually lose tension over time — a normal characteristic of performance poly strings.
