What players say
Players describe RPM Power 16/1.30 as a comfortable, lively co-poly that feels notably softer and more powerful than Babolat's own RPM Blast, at a modest cost in spin and durability. It suits players who hit flatter and want a user-friendly control poly rather than a stiff, pure spin string.
Best for
- Players wanting a softer, more comfortable poly
- Flatter hitters who drive the ball
- Players moving off multifilament or synthetic gut
- Those who find RPM Blast too stiff
Pros
- Above-average comfort for a co-polyester
- More lively and powerful feel than RPM Blast
- Good ball pocketing and control
- Holds up reasonably well for non-heavy-topspin players (10+ hours reported)
Cons
- Slightly less spin than RPM Blast
- Coating feels rough/metallic and squeaks during stringing
- Movement/durability drops off for players with heavy topspin swings

I wouldn't perhaps call this string 'power', but compared to Blast, it is definitely more lively and powerful.

This is easily a string I could take into a tournament and feel completely comfortable with.

A very good string - in all aspects; almost perfect pairing with a Babolat Pure Drive VS.

I cannot emphasize enough the performance of this string. Power, control, and, above all, its lasting time.

Very nice feel and power. And tons of spin. Also comfortable.
