Black Code 18 Or RPM Blast 18?

Ojibway · 12-10-2012, 05:06 AM

I play with BLX Blade 98 and have use both these stings @ 56lbs. I probably like RPM Blast a bit more over Black Code just because I was serving better with it and keeping more balls in. Though when I had RPM Blast on my backup racquets had NRG2 and Tourbite. So I have not got a chance to compare the two side by side.

I am planning to buy a reel and would appreciate your suggestion on which way to go.

I like RPM Blast but it tends to loose playability and tension pretty quick. The strings i use right now is the RPM "Team" it hold tension and playability slightly better than blast.

I tried 18 gauge strings and they went dead really fast and broke easily. If you're not a string breaker, then my vote is Black Code.

Thanks Guys. I have a set of Black Code, I will try it on and if it feels good. I might go ahead and buy Black Code reel.
