Fans have been wondering for awhile why Rafa's trademark full bed of Babolat Pro Hurricane Tour has all of a sudden turned to a full black bed. Was it a Pro Hurricane Tour in a new black color like fans had previously thought?

No, it was just the opposite. Babolat has released a new co-poly string that's taking the tennis world by storm, both on tour and at home.



The RPM Blast is the new string of choice for ATP tour stars Rafael Nadal and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.

We've gotten many questions regarding whether the RPM Blast was taking the place of Pro Hurricane Tour, and the answer to that is no, the RPM Blast will sell along side Pro Hurricane Tour!

The RPM Blast's co-poly construction will provide a unique combination of power and ball feel and coupled with its octagonal shape and cross linked silicone coating will provide greater spin as well.

If you're seeking a string to provide you with amazing power and spin the RPM Blast is the choice for you! RPM Blast 16 Gauge at Tennis Express.
