Babolat RPM Soft FAQ's
What is Babolat RPM Soft made of?
Babolat RPM Soft is a co-polyester string designed with a unique construction that combines a softer formulation with a traditional polyester structure. This blend allows for enhanced comfort and playability, making it easier on the arm while still providing excellent control and spin.
Who is RPM Soft best suited for?
Babolat RPM Soft is ideal for intermediate to advanced players who seek a combination of spin, control, and comfort. It’s especially beneficial for players who have a fast swing and rely on heavy topspin, as well as those looking for a softer alternative to traditional polyester strings.
What are the main benefits of using Babolat RPM Soft?
The primary benefits of using RPM Soft include improved comfort and feel compared to standard polyester strings, excellent spin potential, and enhanced control. This string allows players to generate significant topspin while maintaining a softer touch on the ball, reducing the risk of arm discomfort.
How does RPM Soft compare to the original Babolat RPM Blast?
While both RPM Soft and RPM Blast are designed for spin and control, RPM Soft features a softer composition, making it more forgiving on the arm. This makes RPM Soft a better choice for players who experience discomfort with stiffer polyester strings, while still providing excellent performance.
What tension should I string RPM Soft at?
Babolat RPM Soft can be strung at a range of tensions, typically between 23 kg (50 lbs) and 26 kg (57 lbs). Players who prefer more power and comfort may opt for lower tensions, while those seeking additional control can string at higher tensions. It’s essential to choose a tension that matches your playing style and preferences.
Is RPM Soft suitable for players with arm issues?
Yes, RPM Soft is designed to provide more comfort than traditional polyester strings, making it a suitable option for players with arm issues or those seeking a softer feel. However, players with significant arm problems may still prefer multifilament or natural gut strings for optimal comfort.
How durable is Babolat RPM Soft?
While RPM Soft offers decent durability, it is not as durable as stiffer polyester strings like RPM Blast. Players who frequently break strings may need to restring more often, particularly if they have a powerful swing. However, it provides a good balance of performance and longevity for many players.
How does RPM Soft affect spin potential?
RPM Soft excels in spin potential due to its unique shape and softer material. The string’s construction allows for greater snap-back, enabling players to generate heavy topspin and slice shots effectively. It’s an excellent choice for players who rely on spin to control their game.
How often should I restring with RPM Soft?
The frequency of restringing with RPM Soft depends on how often you play and your style of play. For recreational players, restringing every 2-3 months is typical, while more frequent players may need to restring every few weeks. Regular restringing helps maintain optimal performance and tension.
Can I use RPM Soft in a hybrid setup?
Yes, Babolat RPM Soft is a popular choice for hybrid setups. It can be paired with a softer string in the crosses for added comfort or a stiffer polyester in the mains for increased control. This combination allows players to customise their string bed according to their preferences.
