Babolat RPM Blast 125 + Touch VS 130 150 years Tennis String , Black Beige

The Babolat RPM Blast 125 + Touch VS 130 is a premium hybrid string set that combines the heavy spin and control of a co-polyester with the legendary comfort and power of natural gut. The "150 Years" version is a special limited-edition release celebrating Babolat's anniversary (1875–2025) of inventing tennis strings.

The set is traditionally presented in a Black (RPM Blast) and Beige/Natural (Touch VS) color combination.

Key Benefits

1. Ultimate Feel: The Touch VS (1.30mm/16g) natural gut is highly elastic, providing a deep pocketing sensation and exceptional vibration dampening.
2. Maximum Spin: The RPM Blast (1.25mm/17g) features an octagonal profile that "bites" the ball, allowing for heavy topspin and precision.
3. Optimized Durability: Using a hybrid setup reduces the friction between the strings, helping to prevent the "sawing" effect and extending the life of the natural gut compared to a full bed.
4. Tour Performance: This specific hybrid is one of the most widely used setups on the ATP and WTA tours (famously used by players like Rafael Nadal in the past).

Stringing Recommendations

1. For More Spin & Control: Install the RPM Blast (Black) in the mains (verticals) and the Touch VS (Beige) in the crosses (horizontals).
2. For More Power & Comfort: Install the Touch VS (Beige) in the mains and the RPM Blast (Black) in the crosses.
3. Tension Tip: Natural gut holds tension better than polyester. Many players string the polyester crosses 2–4 lbs lower than the gut mains to create a more "open" and forgiving string bed.
