Babolat RPM Rough 1.25/17 String Set
Overview
RPM Rough is the textured version of RPM Blast, one of the most popular co-polys ever made. Like the standard RPM Blast, this string is a co-polymer monofilament with an octagonal shape and a special cross-linked silicone coating. RPM Rough is perfect for aggressive players who like to attack the ball with long, fast strokes. Our playtesters found it a tad softer and more powerful than the original RPM Blast, resulting in a slightly more penetrating shot. With its grippy surface, you'll find plenty of bite for bringing the ball down with spin. The durability is also quite high, making this a great option for string breakers.
This 1.25mm version offers a tad more spin potential and feel but less durability than the 16 and 15L versions.

First of all - I'm a big fan of the regular RPM Blast which is my to go string, especially when speaking of Babolat frames.The rough version is quite impressive in all aspects, also on stringing it. I like also the neon red colour in my Babolat Pure Strike 100 3rd generation - an eye-catcher all over. Spin is amazing with this string. There are some similarities with the RPM Blast, but I think the rough one stands on its own feet. I'm seriously considering to order a 200m reel.
