The Babolat RPM Rough 200M Reel (Black) is the textured evolution of the world-famous RPM Blast, engineered for players who want to combine maximum spin potential with a slightly softer, more responsive feel. This 200-meter reel is the most cost-effective choice for frequent players and competitive stringers, providing approximately 16 to 18 full restrings.

The Black colorway (often appearing as a deep, matte charcoal or "Black-Grey" due to the textured surface) provides a sleek, professional look that matches any racquet frame.

Performance Profile

  1. Double-Action Spin: RPM Rough features an octagonal (8-sided) profile that is further enhanced by a textured, embossed surface. This combination increases the "bite" on the ball's felt, allowing for the generation of massive topspin and sharp, dipping angles.
  2. Enhanced Ball Pocketing: Due to the specialized texturing process, this string is slightly more flexible than the original RPM Blast. This allows for improved ball pocketing, giving the player more "dwell time" on the string bed and a softer sensation at impact.
  3. High-Tech Snap-Back: It is finished with a cross-linked silicone coating. This slick surface allows the textured strings to slide and snap back into position with high efficiency, which is essential for modern, heavy-ball performance.
  4. Dampened Control: While it remains a low-powered co-polyester, the "Rough" version filters out more vibration than standard monofilaments, providing a more dampened and comfortable feel for the arm during high-intensity play.

Best Suited For

  1. Heavy Spin Hitters: Ideal for players who dictate the game with high-clearance topspin and need a string that maximizes ball rotation.
  2. The "Blast" Alternative: Perfect for players who like the performance of RPM Blast but find the original version a bit too stiff or "board-like."
  3. Competitive Tournament Players: The reel format ensures that players who restring frequently maintain a consistent feel across all their racquets while reducing the cost per restring.
