Normal stringing behavior.
Played on clay with Babolat Roland Garros FO balls.
I had played the Pro Hurricane some time ago, but back then I didn't like it and preferred the Pro Hurricane Tour because it was stiffer and crisper with better spin potential. The RPM Blast on the other hand was too soft for me. The Pro Hurricane also felt too soft, maybe I didn't have the tension right.
Now it was totally different. I instantly liked the string; maybe it excels at low tensions. It provides great power without being springy and it does not feel as spongy as the RPM Blast. Comfort is very good. Spin is okay for a non-textured string.
After 8 hours of play it softened up a bit but not as much as the other Babolat strings. The strings started to move but did not become springy. I guess the strings will break in around 1-2 hours. A total of 10 hours is extremely good for my experience.
So, positively surprised, and the price is also adequate, since it is cheaper than Pro Hurricane Tour and RPM Blast. |

Played on clay.
This gauge has significantly better spin than the 1.30 mm version, but not as much as the Tour version.
Great on flat backhand strokes. Control on my forehand was only possible via spin. |

| I was not happy with this string at all. I tried it again at 2 lbs less but no improvement. It felt "hollow" and "dull". Additionally (major criterium) the string hurt my arm (shoulder) a lot. Since I cut out the strings after 2 hours each (once at 24/25 kg and once at 23/24 kg), I cannot say anything about the durability. |

| Very good string. Played three sets and started feeling the work on the last set. The string helped to generate very good top spin. I want to try this one with some synthetic gut such as the Tecnifibre NGR2. |
