Bringing spin to a wider audience the introduction of Babolat RPM Team 16 brings the same geometric construction to a new material formulation for greater accessibility By keeping the octagonal shape and silicone coating of RPM Blast this version retains the spin potential while a new polymer combination results in a decrease in stiffness The result is that RPM Team will actually have the same access to spin but will play noticeably softer and give a larger sweet spot for a more forgiving option By lowering the stiffness of the string the power level is also slightly increased to go along with the more consistent performance across a greater area of the string bed Our testers found this string to offer much of the same spin from the baseline as RPM Blast but the softer feel helped on shots hit outside of the centerConstruction Copolyester MonofilamentColor BlackGauge 130mm
