Question RPM Blast or RPM Team?

Hello Tennis Warehouse what is the difference between the RPM Blast and Team in playability/durability/tension maintenance.

And what would you prefer?

P.S how will a 17g (1.25) play on a 16x19 pattern?

Hi Francis,

These are fairly close, especially regarding durability. Babolat injected micro air bubbles into RPM Team to make it softer. In the lab, however, it tested firmer. Therefore you should expect it to play a tad stiffer, with slightly less power and comfort. We've found both to have exceptional control and spin. In terms of tension loss, our lab results place RPM Team decidedly ahead of RPM Blast - but we only test initial tension loss.

Hope this helps,
Jon

Thanks for the reply so RPM Team looses tension more quickly than rpm blast?

Sorry Francis,

To be more clear. In our lab test, which measures initial tension loss, RPM Team lost less tension.

Thanks,
Jon
