Babolat RPM Soft 17 is a polyamide monofilament tennis string designed for players seeking comfort, accessible power, and a responsive feel without the stiffness of traditional polyester. Its flexible construction provides a softer impact response while offering greater resistance to wear than many conventional multifilament strings. The thinner 17 gauge enhances ball feel and responsiveness compared to the 16 gauge version, with a trade-off in durability.
Recreational to intermediate players looking for a comfortable alternative to polyester strings with dependable playability. Particularly suitable for players who prefer a softer stringbed and value touch, power, and responsiveness over maximum control.
