The string delivers on Babolat's claim to power, maybe not so much on spin. The first day I used it, I did feel the string was harder as I felt more of a sting in my hand and wrist, but not my elbow or shoulder. I have used the string for a week now, and I don't feel any pain during or after play. As for improved play, I would say I am surprised that I am returning serve so much better--balls are finally landing in the court. The string is an improvement over the Pro Hurricane Tour for power, maybe spin, but not softness. The feel seems diminished from the PHT to the RPM Blast. Still, the transition to this string was easy and worthwhile. I am keeping more balls in play. I was concerned when Tsonga and Roddick stopped using the RPM Blast string (or so it seems from recent pictures), but the concern was unfounded. The string performs well.

Yes this string provides a little more power then most strings. A nice feature of the string is that they do not separate much even in a open stringing pattern. The Hex surface is not very visible. The strings have a decent amount of control if I apply spin to my spots. I've been using the string for several weeks of heavy play and the durability seems very good. I'm a tournament player in the seniors using a Wilson BLX 95 6.1. I strung the racquet at 54lbs. next time I would sting it a couple pounds tighter since it does loosen a bit. Next time maybe I will use a hybrid with Luxilon rough and RPM.

Do not buy from Wor1dsports. I ordered this tennis racquet 1 year ago and have used it regularly. I recently noticed a crack on the inside frame and sent it to the manufacturer (Babolat) because it was still under warranty. They just informed me that the racquet is a counterfeit. I will be given a detailed list of their findings which included that the racquet was actually made of fiberglass and the hologram was fake. I had been using this racquet thinking that it was of good quality. I even developed a severe case of tennis elbow. Now I feel the cause was this racquet. I recently noticed another buyer complaining he received a fake racquet from this vendor as well. I was told that Babolat will be contacting the vendor as well on this matter. I will also be sending them my complaint. Kyu

Great raquet but vendor has this habit of sending via US POST in such a way that it wont be left even with a doorman

The Racquet was what was advertized and I am very happy with it. It took about 7 days to get to my house, but that is what I was told it would take. No complaints!

i bought this racquet in December, and it has been my weapon of choice when i play. lots of power, and spin. i highly recommend this racquet with Babolat Pro Hurricane tour strings. adding a separate shock absorber also gives you a much cleaner/crisper "pop" to your shots. overall this is the best racquet I've ever used.

The racket has a lot of pop to it. I highly recommend this racket for 4.5+ players.
