Do you think i should get this or dunlop black widow string. I heard both of these strings are good, but i dont know which one to get. Oh by the way i have a wilson 6.1 team and a blx bold.
If someone wants strings better then the rpm blast then get the kirschbaum spiky shark 17g
Spiky shark strings have more spin, yet still good amounts of control. Only dislike would be low power but I don't mind since I can generate my own power and you can always string at a lower tension.
@watsnot2adore21 Its all good. Kinda jelous that nadal can pull a fresh racket with a fresh set of RPMs in the transitions of sets...I honestly think thats the only way they give top performance; they seem to die quick, so you'd have to have fresh strings to get consistent results...
can someone give me advice on a good tention to string these on a babolat puredrive gt i have been experimenting and i feel after 55 it becomes a little to stiff advice?
ARFAIAN.MOM HAS LETHAL 8, OCTOGONAL TWISTED STRING FOR MORE SPIN - COSTS 24 EUROS. IT'S 1.27 BUT I'LL PLAY IT WITH POWER ANGLE RACKET WHICH HAS 16 WITH 16 DIAGONALLY STRUNG RACKET SO THE STRING IS STILL THIN AND LEAVES BITTING AREA OPEN. MOREOVER THE RACKET PATENTED STRING FORM GIVES EXTRA SPIN- SCIENTIFICALLY PROVED!!! I PLAY IN TRAINING WITH 1.36 THICK STRING AND USE THIN STRINGS ONLY ON MATCHES!THIS STUFF COULD BE BANNED BECAUSE OF THE DIRTY TENNIS INDUSTRY BUT COULD KEEP FED-LIKE'S ALIVE
I've tried the RPM blast and the Pro Hurricane Tour. I kind of like the PHT a little more than this much hyped string. The PHT has more "pop" than the RPM Blast. Both strings give you good spins. What I like about the RPM is that you can freely take a cut at the ball and it stays in. The RPM is a "control" oriented string. Oddly enough I was able to get tremendous amount of spins using my Wilson BLX Six.One 95 (16X18) strung with Wilson's Hollow Core Pro 17 @56lbs.
@wilx218x how would compare the comfort level of both those strings?, im curious about the rpm, some say it´s stiff and other´s say, it´s really soft for a poly..i gave pro hurricane tour a try and it felt like a wooden plank to me..
@extradutyfelt1 The RPM Blast is a soft co-poly. Very arm-friendly. Mind you that in my opinion it's a "control" string. Great spin, but it lacks some power. Take a close look at your game. Do you generate your own power? Or, do you need more power? I tried another black co-poly the Dunlop Black Widow. Very arm-friendly, and it has more "pop" than the RPM. Matter of fact some said that it had too much "pop". It cost $13.00 and gives you real good spins. Wilson BLX Pro Open @ 55lbs.
@extradutyfelt1 Good luck with the RPM. The Dunlop Black Widow will for sure give you some good power. More than the RPM. Another good string is the Polyfibre Black Venom 1.25mm, and Genesis Black Magic 1.25mm. These are excellent strings at a fraction of the cost of RPM. Keep in mind that for the RPM you are paying for the "hype" and marketing! There is a new string creating some buzz. Brand new company. The Alien Black Diamond.
@01sean , i agree that its more of the techniques, i have tried the pro hurricane tour, the rpm blast and an ordinary prince synthetic gut, i could produce the same heavy topspin with my strokes! its all about marketing!
@nadalemu PHT and RPM are very similar strings. It's not *all* about marketing, there are physics involved. Of course, lower level players will get the same results no matter what they use. At the higher levels, there are a lot of string factors to take into account.
Lol and as soon as they are done training and done with there interview about the strings there is a bag of money and the REAL strings they use sitting beside there bag!
This is all bullshit i can tell you right now NONE of them use it. i even saw a close up picture of nadals racquet at wimby this year, it had in white writing on the strings 'pro hurricanes"
Babolat make it so obviouse, they are such a greedy company
i just bought these strings for my sisters new racket a babolat aero strike (i found on clearance for $50!!!) they feel amazing, much better control that my own prince 03 white with premiere LT (16g). using her racket i have not felt any vibrations and the feel at the point of impact is so tactile. With the prince gear ive found that the ball sometimes slides on the strings, catching the ball with the frame on occasion.
@gwfactions2 its the thickness of the strings. the thinner the string the more you can spin the ball. ....but you will break more strings as well. the 16g is thicker than 17g ....don't ask me why it goes the opposite way. i don't know that much.
@nomanno I'm currently using the 17 gauge, I would have to say 17 gauge gives the most power/spin, and feels more solid also. But its a little less durable but it's worth it for the other stuff.
@nomanno I'm currently using the 17 gauge, I would have to say 17 gauge gives the most power/spin, and feels more solid also. Its a little less durable but it's worth it for the other stuff.
Did anybody noticed that 3 French Open finalist were using this string? Also the men's & women's champs(Schiavone/Rafa) both were using this same strings. The RPM Blast. Oh yeah along with the same racquet; the Aero Pro Drive Cortex GT. Well I'm sold. I'll give this strings a try.
@01sean Right. Every good junior I see now days is using polly strings with massive top spin. Bernard Tomic is different, but maybe a little too different.
@dodododa I play with topspin. but this one school I played against, they all had effing babolat aeropro drives.... can't believe them. but I did play a leftie today, it was interesting... lefty spin threw me off.
@01sean I play a lot of tennis, though I'm no expert. I know my shots changed dramatically when I got Big Banger strings. I just wonder if it's all gone too far and now the advantage lies too much with the massive top spinners. We may never see another Federer come through.
@01sean Well it might be a little too influencial. Both women finalists at the French were using it. Schiavone has a wicked top spin backhand which is very hard to hit. Shouldn't tennis be about more than who can make the ball bounce in weird ways?
@MrPURECONTROL My point is you said "u can't paint the strings lol, it will lose its grip". But they all paint the logo on the strings anway, so it can't be that big a problem to paint the strings.
Of course Babolat only paint the bottom two strings, where you never hit the ball anyway. But Wilson, Prince, Head, Yonex etc. all have their logos painted in the middle of the head.
this has definatly helped the players outside the top five cause some shocks latley. big hitters are keeping balls in court with the spin on these rackets. its contreversial but true.
it recomends to string at 62 pounds but i heard that is super stiff. i usually have it on 60pounds with synthetic gut. should i do 61? i am just scared of thr ball flying out or the ball doesnt have any pop.
Before getting all caught up on the RPM hype, this string is basically the "black" version of the Pro Hurricane Tour. Both are identical octagonal strings, except that the RPM is a little less powerful.
I really don't think there is a big difference between APDC, and the GT model. Why should i pay $189 for the GT? I bought three brand new APDC for $120.00 each. at a well known retailer, and no it wasn't an internet sale, i just walked into the store.
I got this racket and strings. Strings feel almost like they needed to be broken in. First day and a half with them felt real tight and just not good. Now I'm gettin all kinds of spin and pop off them.
I tried the Dunlop Black Widow and it has absolute power,now I wanna try stringing the RPM blast
