RPM Dual is the correct name, not sure about a release date.

Here are some pics I just strung up. 17 gauge. Has some recoil memory, but not nearly as bad as Rpm blast. Looks good. I strung it in my roddick plus at 57#. Going to hit with it today and ill let you all know.

My current string is SOLINCO outlast 17

I also have a set of this to try out -- let me know how it plays, or what string you can compare it to.

I read this whole thread thinking I was learning about RPM team.

Can someone tell me the difference(s) between Blast and Team? thanks

I found that the team keeps its playability longer than the blast and it is easier on the arm.

Can you hybrid this string with another multi like NRG2 ? and is this string as good as RPM for spin production ?

Pro shop just got some RPM Dual, will prob grab some sets, anybody try this yet??

I have it strung in my PDR+ at 62 lbs...I though it was pretty mediocre to be honest. Spin was ok but not as good as fresh RPM blast... I will have to see how the tension holds up. If you swing flat it sails, if you brush up it generates ok top spin...not something I will be purchasing in the future. However, I found it stiffer than RPM Blast and PHT. I usually string those at 62 or 63 in a full bed on PDR and never have any arm problems. My elbow was getting a bit of a twinge going at the end of two hours. If you are sensitive to arm pain this may not be your string. I think there are way better strings currently on the market. The other thing is they say its two strings in one, but when you look at it it looks like a single strand of string with just two colors. I think the two string thing is a gimmick.

DonBot · 02-26-2013, 06:58 AM

IMO PHT is the best string they currently make when you consider performance over time. I can pull out a racquet that was strung with it 6 months ago and can still hit with it. RPM blast lasts about a day and then you may as well cut it out. I have never tried team so I don't know how that stacks up.

Just received a box with a dozen sets of 17g and 16g and a full reel -

What do you mean by Recoil memory not as bad as RPM blast ? can you explain ?

Nostradamus · 02-27-2013, 04:54 PM

Define power....and the recoil memory is absolutely terrible. Its pretty boardy compared to other Babolat Polys

gavna · 02-28-2013, 08:13 AM

I'm going to string up an APD+ (2013) with this - VSgut crosses and Duel in the mains at 59 or 60lbs.

Same in a BLX Blade 18x20 (2013) maybe at 57lbs tonight and see how it goes.......WTH

gavna · 03-02-2013, 10:16 PM

Strung up a Blade and two APD last night with Dual.........57lbs in the Wilson and 59lbs in the APDs -

My Jr son loves it so far after 4 hrs of play and I also like it.......much better on the arm than Blast and for sure a low powered poly. Well see how it does this week - should play about 14 hrs from tomorrow thru Friday.

The biggest gripe I have is that it's a pain in the *** to handle as it uncoils from the package and the reel.........damn stuff loves to twist and tangle up - just have to spend a little more time with it as it settles.

I strung up one set 1,25 in my current Head Radical Twintube Oversize, in 47 lbs and it feels really soft and comfy! Have used it 4 hours now and i am really happy with the performance of the string.

I also strung up one solinco tour bite 1,20 with same tension and did not like it at all in this old OS-frame. The control was much better in the RPM Dual.

Will goof around a bit more, but so far very satisfied with RPM Dual

Brian11785 · 03-11-2013, 08:48 AM

Got a half-set of the 17g from my stringer nearly a month ago. Strung it at (high 50s?) lbs in the mains of my RQIS 1 Tour (red/black) with Prince Lightning 16 in the crosses. Didn't like it too much at first. Honestly, I'm not used to anything but 16g strings. But they are growing on me. Nothing amazing, but the spin is there. And they look cool, if that matters.

gunnd5000 · 03-11-2013, 09:16 AM

Anyone found this string to be at all similar to babolat revenge? Or is the RPM team or blast ore similar
