The Babolat RPM Blast + RPM Soft is a specialized hybrid string set that brings together two distinct versions of the RPM family. This combination is designed for players who want the legendary spin and control of a professional co-polyester but require a more forgiving, dampened feel than a full bed of stiff string provides.

The set is presented in a modern Black (RPM Blast) and Grey (RPM Soft) color combination.

The Hybrid Logic

This setup uses a "Monofilament + Monofilament" approach to balance performance:

  • The Power/Spin Engine: RPM Blast (Black) is typically placed in the mains (verticals) to provide the octagonal "bite" on the ball and the necessary snap-back for heavy topspin.
  • The Comfort Filter: RPM Soft (Grey) is typically placed in the crosses (horizontals). Because it features a polyamide (nylon) core rather than polyester, it acts as a shock absorber, softening the overall string bed and increasing the sweet spot.

Component Breakdown

Babolat RPM Blast (Black)

  1. Construction: High-density co-polyester monofilament.
  2. Profile: Octagonal (8-sided) for maximum friction and ball grip.
  3. Role: Provides the "dead" control and massive spin potential that aggressive baseline players require.

Babolat RPM Soft (Grey)

  1. Construction: Polyamide (nylon) monofilament.
  2. Profile: Round and smooth with an aramid/silicone coating.
  3. Role: Adds a "plush" sensation to the impact and reduces the harsh vibrations that can lead to arm fatigue, while still being more durable than a standard multifilament.

Best Suited For

  1. Advanced Juniors: Developing players who need the spin of a poly but need to protect their growing joints.
  2. Intermediate/Advanced Adults: Players who love the RPM Blast "look" and spin but find it too taxing on their elbow or shoulder over long matches.
  3. Frequent String Breakers: Those who break multifilaments too quickly but find full polyester too stiff.
