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