Babolat RPM Rough 12M Tennis String , Yellow

The Babolat RPM Rough 12M (Yellow) is a premium co-polyester string engineered for high-performance players who prioritize spin, control, and a slightly softer feel than standard polyester. This version features the iconic, vibrant yellow colorway that has become synonymous with the Babolat brand.

Performance Profile

1. Enhanced Ball Grip: The string is designed with an octagonal (8-sided) cross-section and a textured "rough" surface. This combination allows the string to "bite" into the ball more effectively, facilitating extreme topspin and slice.
2. Increased Flexibility: Due to the texturing process, the RPM Rough is slightly more flexible than the original smooth RPM Blast. This provides a larger sweet spot and a more dampened, comfortable feel at impact.
3. Silicone Coating: It features the same cross-linked silicone coating found in the RPM family, which minimizes friction between strings. This ensures excellent "snap-back," allowing the strings to return to their original position quickly for maximum ball rotation.
4. Precision Control: As a co-polyester, it offers a low-powered response. This allows advanced players with fast swing speeds to swing out fully while maintaining excellent depth control and accuracy.

Ideal Player

1. Heavy Spinners: Specifically designed for players who rely on heavy topspin to dictate play from the baseline.
2. Competitive Juniors & Adults: Ideal for those who have the strength and technique to utilize a stiff string but prefer a bit more "give" than a traditional monofilament.
3. Hybrid Enthusiasts: A popular choice for the "mains" in a hybrid setup, often paired with a multifilament or natural gut in the "crosses" for a mix of spin and ultimate comfort.
