Babolat RPM Team 16 is a performance polyester string engineered for players who want consistent control and spin potential with the added durability that comes from a thicker gauge.
The 16 gauge is a thicker profile than 17g and 18g, offering enhanced durability and tension stability while still enabling reliable spin and directional control. RPM Team 16 sits squarely in the performance poly category, delivering a firm, predictable response that helps players control depth and trajectory from the baseline.
On court, RPM Team 16 rewards clean technique and racquet-head speed with dependable feedback and consistent performance across extended playing sessions. It provides solid spin potential and directional accuracy without the ultra-thin feel and shorter lifespan of lighter gauge strings.
As with all polyester strings, RPM Team 16 will feel firmer than multifilament or synthetic gut options and will experience gradual tension loss over time — a normal characteristic of performance polys.
