Tsonga said goodbye to RPM Blast!

[Wilander]

Im loving a fresh strung RPM Blast. I can generate incredible heavy spin.
I can understand why this string has given rafas career a new boost.

Love Fresh strung too at 55-56 lbs. but as hours go on, it loses control.

yes, loses control and spin-potential very soon.

so you have to cut it out and re-string it. it is kind of expensive.

Definately, RPM blast is a great string in my opinion. I can't find anything that is similar I think it gives you power plus spin. It's great

Just my 2 cents...
You guys should check out Genesis Black Magic ($7.90/set) and Spin X $9.90/set). My group of 6 pros just finished playtesting them and they were impressive. Softer with better ball pocketing and much better tension maintenance than RPMB. In our opinion, the performance/price ratio blows RPMB away.

Cheers!

Tell them to test the Signum pro Tornado or MSV Heptatwist,then they will change right away to either one.These 2 are the best and last long as well.

Most of us enjoyed playing with the Pro Tornado, as its a good string. However, it plays much "stiffer" and its tension maintenance is less than the both Black Magic & Spin X. If you like Signum, we rated the Plasma (1.23) and Hyperion (1.24) a bit higher than Tornado.

Our testing shows that the Focus Hex has better tension maintenance and better durability than the Hepta and equaled its spin potential.

Pro Tornado and Hepta are good strings, but the performance-to-price ratio of the Black Magic ($7.90/$84.90), Spin X ($9.90/$99.90), and Focus Hex ($7.90/$76.90) is nearly unmatched.

So, you have a team to test strings?
I will start testing SPinX this weekend.Black Magic is not for me,I only use profiled strings,with the exception of Weiss canon Match Power.but I do think MSV(the 2 of them) are some of the best.I am currently with Plasma hextreme 1.30 as well,and that one has the best tension maintenance I have seen,unmatched,but is somewhat stiff,but a great match for my racket.

I said goodbye to RPM the first tournament I tried with it. Sadly, in hindsight, I was very bad in my judgment to use a fairly unfamiliar string in a tournament, that now I view as a very big opportunity wasted

That is a big NO.
No equipment change before being tested for a week at least.
What do you use now?What Tournaments do You play?

We call it our team. Its basically the group of 6 teaching pros at our club.
I don't mean to push another thread, but I discuss it here:

Sounds like you have good taste in strings man. Let us know what you think of the Spin X.

Cheers!
