The Babolat RPM Blast 16L 1.27mm is the string of choice for Rafael Nadal. This version features an exclusive blue colorway. RPM Blast has an octagonal profile but enhances spin generation through the use of a coating. The cross-linked silicone coating is designed to allow the strings to slide across each other easier. This serves two purposes, the first is that the string can move easily, effectively allowing the stringbed to play as a more open pattern. The second, of course, is to enhance durability by lessening string-to-string friction. Babolat’s RPM Blast is a popular choice among strong baseliners seeking durability and spin to dictate the action.
