Babolat RPM Blast is a tour-proven co-polyester monofilament built for heavy topspin, firm control and long service life. This is the 200m reel — the cost-effective format for stringers and for players who go through a lot of string — available in 1.20mm, 1.25mm and 1.30mm gauges.
Key Features
- Octagonal profile — eight edges bite the ball for heavier topspin and sharper angles.
- High-density co-polyester — resists notching and stands up to powerful, repeated striking.
- Firm, precise response — keeps big swings inside the baseline under pressure.
- Good tension maintenance — a consistent feel across multiple matches rather than a rapid drop-off.
- 200m reel format — a far lower cost per stringing job than buying individual sets.
- Three gauges — 1.20mm for maximum spin, 1.30mm for maximum durability.
Performance Overview
The octagonal shape is what separates RPM Blast from a round polyester: the edges grip the ball at contact and snap back, adding rotation without you having to swing harder. It tolerates high tensions well, which is how heavy hitters get the low, dipping trajectory the string is known for. As with all stiff polyesters, it plays best in the first ten to fifteen hours and should be cut out on a schedule rather than left until it breaks.
Benefits
More spin means a bigger margin over the net and a ball that drops inside the line — you can swing fully and still find the court. The durability is the other half of the case: fewer breakages mid-match, longer intervals between restrings, and in reel form a significantly lower cost per racket than buying individual sets.

Final Verdict
Still the reference spin polyester, and in a 200m reel it is the sensible way to buy it. If you play a heavy topspin game and restring regularly, RPM Blast in reel form will save you money and hold its performance longer than most of its rivals.
