5 Stars Great Hybrid String

Christian from PA wrote (July 31, 2018):

Fabulous Hybrid (Mains) string (17) that I pair with NRG2 (16). Much easier on the arm, with excellent power and topspin in a hybrid string bed. Ball stays on the string bed forever!! When I was using all RPM (in an Aero racquet), I found the string would "go off" long before the string would break. In the hybrid with a multifilament string, the NRG2 will break about the same time the RPM will "go off", so its a perfect combo. Former D3 college player

This is a very good string, emphasizing spin, but exhibiting great power as well. Can lose a bit on the control side, perhaps arguing for a 17 gauge configuration.

5 Stars Babolat VS Gut/Pro Hurricane Tour Hybrid Strings (16guage)

Gary Mc from CA wrote (October 17, 2015):

This hybrid string combination is used by many top professional players who demand the best of all worlds of power, control, and durability! I prefer to use the gut on the mains, and this offers significant insurance for the health of all your joints associated with hitting a tennis ball. The durability is excellent as they last me 3-6 months despite playing four times per week on clay and hard courts. Midwest Sports maintains abundant inventory and the shipping is most reliable.

Loyd from CA wrote (October 06, 2015):

Great String, I used they in my Blade 98, I get a little more power and control on my ground strokes and servers. But when the strings starts to notch it tend to fly on me. So I need to restring my racket often.

H.S. tennis coach and PTC suggested this string for me. I'm a heavy hitter with modest topspin. Noticeable improvement in power and spin with this string. I hope it will be durable.

5 Stars Best string by far

Eric Sellers from IN wrote (April 13, 2015):

A bought a stringing machine a year ago and over the winter experimented with all kinds of string set ups both full beds and hybrids. Ithis experiment included poly, synthetic gut, kevlar, and multifilaments. I always wanted to do this and just see which string would be the best. We'll a full bed of RPM BLAST is by far the best. I string my aeropro drive gt at 58 lbs and couldn't be happier.

3 Stars don't use it as the only string

shawnz from CA wrote (February 17, 2015):

well, while this is a very good string, one shouldn't be using it as the only string in his/her rackets. it's a great hybrid string match with hurricane pro or ... otherwise it's lacks a few aspects of the game (spin, power) and the string keeps running off and you need to constantly pull them in position after each shot

5 Stars Fantastic Strings!

Ben from SC wrote (December 29, 2014):

I used RPM blast on the mains and Gamma TNT on the crosses all at 52 lbs on my Wilson Steam 99s racket. They played fantastic with tons of feel, power and enough comfort on my arm to aid my tennis elbow pain (considering they are a polyester). The only drawbacks I had was 1) durability- they lasted only two or two and a half weeks, although I have a very open string pattern- and 2) price. Overall a fantastic string for someone who doesn't mind restringing their racket often.

5 Stars Very Happy with the Durability

Tim from IL wrote (December 27, 2014):

I love the Babolat Xcel string. It has all the comfort and power of comparable Technifibre multifilament strings like NRG2 and TGV with as good or better durability/ tension maintenance. Certainly better durability than the Volkl multis I've tried.

I was given a suggestion from an opponent to try this new the pro hurricane because I broke to strings while we were playing. It's given me a lot more spin and it's durability is exceptional. Being a lefty, spin is an added bonus!!! I've tried other strings but always go back. Hope they never stop making this string

MDR2448 from IN wrote (January 02, 2014):

Switched my strings to this RPM Blast. Could tell a huge difference in the spin of the ball, lost a little on control. But with practice it'll improve. Also found a bigger sweet spot.

Rob from AZ wrote (December 16, 2013):

My 11 year old who needs a string that can do about everything well. He's tried the stings for more spin or more power but always falls back to this one that seems to be right in the middle and does everything well. He plays with a Drive Z. I would highly recommend.

5 Stars Great string for spin and power

Rob from AZ wrote (December 16, 2013):

My 13 year old who plays with a lot of top spin has tried a number of different strings over the past year and settled on this one. He likes the feel of the Dunlap silk but gets a little more pop on the ball with the Babolat Power. As a note. My 11 year old that hits the ball a lot harder but not as much spin does not like this string and uses the addiction.

5 Stars Babolat RPM Blast 16G Tennis String

Udo H. from NH wrote (October 31, 2013):

I've tried LOTS of different strings, and this one might be my favorite so far. A good balance of power and control, and good spin as well. Strung at 56 lbs. Power: 7/10 - It has some nice pop. Not as much power as Weiss Cannon Explosiv, but a moderate amount. Spin: 9/10 - The string feels slick, but the hexagonal shape gives it some bite on the ball. About as much spin as the Luxilon ALU rough. Control: 7/10 - Pretty good control, a good balance considering the power. Feel: 8/10 - I like the feel. It's not as stiff as the Luxilon ALU strings, so it has a softer feel.

5 Stars The best of the best
