RPM Blast Tension

[botticelli]

Any thoughts on tension for RPM Blast? I strung up a Babolat Aeropro Drive GT with 17g RPM Blast at 54 pounds. Going to hit with it tonight, but stringbed feels kinda stiff. I the package of string it said 17g recommended tension 52 pounds. Any thoughts?

string it at your normal tension. If it feels too stiff, then string it looser the next time.

That said, don't worry too much. This string loses a lot of tension, and very quickly.

In the end it's a poly, going to have a level of stiffness. I have been playing with RPM Blast 16g in my BLX 95's (16x18) @ 52lbs and LOVE IT!

Obviously its too late now, so just play it and see what you think. If it holds to stiff for you, next time drop it 2lbs or more as you see fit.

I've got it strung up in a full bed at 58 and 60 mains and crosses right now in a TGK237.2 and it's great.

I'm at 60 and I thought it was much softer than Hurricane at 60, so it's all perception.

I strung it at 65 lbs and it felt like CRAP. No power and felt like Black code. YUK.......
