Babolat RPM Rough Black 1.30 – Ultimate Spin and Durability for Aggressive Players

RPM Rough takes everything players love about RPM Blast and turns the spin dial up even further. Designed for aggressive baseliners who rip the ball with long, fast strokes, this co-polyester monofilament string features an octagonal shape and rough surface for maximum bite and spin.

RPM Rough Black offers slightly more power and comfort than the original Blast, without sacrificing control. Its grippy texture helps the strings snap back faster, enhancing topspin production, while the firmer build delivers precision and long-lasting performance—perfect for string breakers.
