I guess there are following in the oxymoron footsteps of Kirschbaum's Max Powername is RPM power. how can a power string give more control ?

It's just a name, not a description. They can name it whatever they want in theory.name is RPM power. how can a power string give more control ?

For instance your name is Nostradamus yet your predictions have been shaky at best.
But then again so was the real Nostradamus' predictions, so perhaps your name is accurate? I don't know.
On my broadcast they showed the rpm stats and were almost 20 percent down on the backhand and 10 percent on the forehand for Thiem.
The 2nd serve bounce compared to RG was also quite lower.
Shows us that new string is more for flat hitting
Nice! As we can see, he is getting less spin with the RPM Power, but more control, so he can swing freely without the fear of hitting long, hence his winners numbers went up.Proof
Would love to hear how you can attribute these differences in spin to the string alone? Especially given that there clearly aren't any other variables at play such as surface, playing style, opponents.....Nice!

I agree. What would be a better metric would be to compare his average topspin/speed/trajectory in his two matches against Federer at both of these events, as well as Federer's numbers in both of those matches (since Fed is the only one he played in both tournaments).Would love to hear how you can attribute these differences in spin to the string alone?

Thiem was using Lynx? Which tournament? He was using Head Hawk with Experimental poly hybrid up until Indian Wells, and then changed to RPM, as far as I know.I have a few sets of lynx tour and rpm power
These are the 2 strings he’s been using this year
Lynx tour is a dream, crisp and powerful but controlled
Rpm power is very very dead. I strung it up at 48 and it felt super stiff, even made the head gravity mp feel stiff.
I’m a 5.0 tennis pro and former college player if anyone has any questions about the 2 strings.
I currently have a pure drive vs strung 38/45 rpm pwr main and rpm blast cross
The experimental poly was lynx tourThiem was using Lynx? Which tournament? He was using Head Hawk with Experimental poly hybrid up until Indian Wells, and then changed to RPM, as far as I know.
Oh, is that what they will name it? Lynx Tour? Cool. Btw, if you haven't already, look up at the very top of strings section here. HEAD and TW are doing a string playtest of the same experimental string. Some good info there. I am actually one of the playtesters too.The experimental poly was lynx tour
It’s an edged lynx that comes in natural color. Plays like a dream.
Still rpm powerWhat string does he use now? Looks like all black string bed atm in Vienns ATP TP tourny
Its definitely RPM Power...champagne colorWhat string does he use now? Looks like all black string bed atm in Vienns ATP TP tourny
I dont know what champagne you drink . RPM Power is NOT champagne colored.Its definitely RPM Power...champagne color

RPM Power. Full bed.What string did he win the US open with and play so good at the french open ?
what's that Gold string in the crosses ? that's not rpm powerRPM Power. Full bed.
Yeah thats Kevlar. Strung at 80 lbs.what's that Gold string in the crosses ? that's not rpm power
RPM Power. Full bed.
totally agree. i think he needs to try to reinvent his game, i don’t see the old thiem coming back in any form that winsStrings don't matter right now to Thiem. His career may be finished.
It's fairly stable in stock form but not unwieldy with some extra weight at 3&9. That said I've got all my lead tape up at 12...i think he is back to lynx tour / hawk. 25 / 23.5
adding lead at 3/9 is wild since the pure strike allready has a very high tw in stock form...
Have to agree with you! New pictures look like he is back to his Indian Wells setup of Lynx Tour/Hawk White!i think he is back to lynx tour / hawk. 25 / 23.5
adding lead at 3/9 is wild since the pure strike allready has a very high tw in stock form...
Since Thiem is not sponsored by Tourna, makes sense to use another kind of finishing tapeStill has bab tape over Tournagrip. smh, can't believe they can keep up with that.
