Babolat RPM Rough 16g Black Tennis String

Babolat RPM Rough 16g Black Tennis String

More spin. More bite. More control. The Babolat RPM Rough 16g Black takes everything that makes the RPM Blast legendary and adds a textured, rough surface that grabs the ball even more aggressively — generating the kind of heavy, kicking topspin that pushes opponents deep and opens up the court.

Where the RPM Blast relies on its octagonal shape alone for spin, the RPM Rough adds a rough, textured high-density co-polyester surface on top of the same 8-sided structure — creating even more contact friction at impact and launching the ball with more revolutions on every shot. You can actually feel the texture in your hand, and you’ll feel it in every stroke. A reduced-friction embossed logo is strategically placed to minimize string-on-string wear, extending the life of the stringbed without sacrificing the rough surface’s spin benefits.

The stiff co-polyester construction delivers the precise, controlled response the RPM family is known for — keeping your shots accurate and in the court even when swinging at full speed. Built for hard hitters who want maximum spin and control in one package.
