Good overall string
This shopper rated the product 4 out of 5 stars

It feels like other monofilament poly strings in terms of stiffness, similar to Luxilon strings. I found it not as soft as other poly strings like Yonex PolyTour Rev or Pro.

Better than 16G
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

This is my favorite string. Normally I use the 16G, but the responsiveness and feel with the 17G is worth it. I pair this with the Wilson Natural Gut. This goes in my mains and the gut is in my crosses. The responsiveness of the ball off the strings is fantastic. You feel each shot. These strings help create the spin I like in my game.

Have used this string in multiple rackets and always notice a great pop with control. Able to swing outright and get plenty of spin to keep the ball in the court.

Great Hybrid String
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

Fabulous Hybrid (Mains) string (17) that I pair with NRG2 (16). Much easier on the arm, with excellent power and topspin in a hybrid string bed. Ball stays on the string bed forever!! When I was using all RPM (in an Aero racquet), I found the string would "go off" long before the string would break. In the hybrid with a multifilament string, the NRG2 will break about the same time the RPM will "go off", so its a perfect combo. Former D3 college player

This is a very good string, emphasizing spin, but exhibiting great power as well. Can lose a bit on the control side, perhaps arguing for a 17 gauge configuration.

Babolat VS Gut/Pro Hurricane Tour Hybrid Strings (16guage)
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

This hybrid string combination is used by many top professional players who demand the best of all worlds of power, control, and durability! I prefer to use the gut on the mains, and this offers significant insurance for the health of all your joints associated with hitting a tennis ball. The durability is excellent as they last me 3-6 months despite playing four times per week on clay and hard courts. Midwest Sports maintains abundant inventory and the shipping is most reliable.

Great String, I used they in my Blade 98, I get a little more power and control on my ground strokes and servers. But when the strings starts to notch it tend to fly on me. So I need to restring my racket often.

Best string by far
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

A bought a stringing machine a year ago and over the winter experimented with all kinds of string set ups both full beds and hybrids. Ithis experiment included poly, synthetic gut, kevlar, and multifilaments. I always wanted to do this and just see which string would be the best. We'll a full bed of RPM BLAST is by far the best. I string my aeropro drive gt at 58 lbs and couldn't be happier.

don't use it as the only string
This shopper rated the product 3 out of 5 stars

well, while this is a very good string, one shouldn't be using it as the only string in his/her rackets. it's a great hybrid string match with hurricane pro or ... otherwise it's lacks a few aspects of the game (spin, power) and the string keeps running off and you need to constantly pull them in position after each shot

Fantastic Strings!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I used RPM blast on the mains and Gamma TNT on the crosses all at 52 lbs on my Wilson Steam 99s racket. They played fantastic with tons of feel, power and enough comfort on my arm to aid my tennis elbow pain (considering they are a polyester). The only drawbacks I had was 1) durability- they lasted only two or two and a half weeks, although I have a very open string pattern- and 2) price. Overall a fantastic string for someone who doesn't mind restringing their racket often.

I love the Babolat Xcel string. It has all the comfort and power of comparable Technifibre multifilament strings like NRG2 and TGV with as good or better durability/ tension maintenance. Certainly better durability than the Volkl multis I've tried.

I was given a suggestion from an opponent to try this new the pro hurricane because I broke to strings while we were playing. It's given me a lot more spin and it's durability is exceptional.

My 11 year old who needs a string that can do about everything well. He's tried the stings for more spin or more power but always falls back to this one that seems to be right in the middle and does everything well. He plays with a Drive Z. I would highly recommend.

Great string for spin and power
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

My 13 year old who plays with a lot of top spin has tried a number of different strings over the past year and settled on this one. He likes the feel of the Dunlap silk but gets a little more pop on the ball with the Babolat Power. As a note. My 11 year old that hits the ball a lot harder but not as much spin does not like this string and uses the addiction.

Babolat RPM Blast 16G Tennis String
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I've tried LOTS of different strings, and this one might be my favorite so far. A good balance of power and control, and good spin as well. Strung at 56 lbs. Power: 7/10 - It has some nice pop. Not as much power as Weiss Cannon Explosiv, but a moderate amount. Spin: 9/10 - The string feels slick, but the hexagonal shape gives it some bite on the ball. About as much spin as the Luxilon ALU rough. Control: 7/10 - Pretty good control, a good balance considering the power. Feel: 8/10 - I like the feel. It's not as stiff as the Luxilon ALU strings, so it has a softer feel.
