Babolat RPM Rough Red 1.25 – Max Spin, Maximum Bite

Looking to add serious bite to your game? Babolat RPM Rough is the textured sibling of the legendary RPM Blast, designed for aggressive players who thrive on heavy spin and full swings. With its octagonal shape and rough surface, this string grips the ball like no other—letting you rip topspin with confidence and consistency.

Made from a durable co-polyester monofilament and finished with a slick cross-linked silicone coating, RPM Rough delivers exceptional control and surprising pop. Slightly softer than RPM Blast, it gives you just a bit more comfort and power while still excelling in spin and precision.

• Controlled Power – Softer feel than Blast, allowing for deeper, more penetrating shots.

• Durability – Built to last and maintain playability, especially for string breakers.
