The Babolat RPM Rough 12M (Black/Grey) is the textured, high-performance evolution of the famous RPM Blast. It is designed specifically for heavy hitters who want to maximize ball rotation and control while enjoying a slightly softer feel than a traditional smooth polyester.

The Black/Grey colorway offers a subtle, dual-tone aesthetic that complements most modern racquet frames with a high-end, technical appearance.

Performance Profile

  1. Enhanced Spin: The string features an octagonal profile (eight-sided) that is further enhanced by a rough, textured surface. This increases the "friction" and "bite" on the ball, allowing for massive topspin and dipping shots.
  2. Increased Feel and Comfort: Because of the textured surface, the string is more flexible than the original RPM Blast. This results in a slightly longer "dwell time" on the strings and a softer impact, making it more forgiving on the arm.
  3. Optimal Snap-Back: Like all strings in the RPM family, it is made of high-density co-polyester with a cross-linked silicone coating. This allows the strings to slide and snap back into place quickly, which is the mechanical engine behind modern spin.
  4. Excellent Control: It provides the "dead" or low-powered response that advanced players prefer, allowing them to swing at full speed without fear of the ball flying out of the court.

Player Profile

  1. Aggressive Baseliners: Ideal for players who swing big and rely on heavy topspin to keep the ball in play.
  2. Polyester Users seeking Comfort: A great option for those who like the RPM Blast performance but want a slightly more dampened and plush feel at impact.
  3. Competitive Players: Suitable for intermediate to advanced players who have the swing speed to properly compress a co-poly string.
