Solinco Revolution vs RPM Blast

[msmillie]

Hi guys,

I've been using RPM Blast for quite a while now but it's just too expensive to keep on buying as the strings feel dead after a few hours of play. I've heard mixed reviews on Solinco Revolution as some people say tension maintenance is great and some say it is poor.

I'm really just looking for a good quality poly with lots of spin that is not as expensive as, for example, lux strings. Can anyone recommend some good strings?

I had the same problem with blast, but I have found that the rpm team plays good much longer than the blast.

Nothing beats Solinco Tour Bite for durability, tension stability and spin. At $11.50 a pack it's a great deal. You'll get around 10 to 12 hrs. of play per set. If you can't afford that, you should find another hobby.

Thanks, I will try the rpm team and see what it's like.

Are tour bite and revolution softer or stiffer ploys? Looking into both

I haven't tried Revolution yet but I second this. Keeps it's playing characteristics considerably longer than RPM Blast.

Tour bite strings play a lot better than revolution strings. Both I would not consider arm friendly.

Try volkl cyclone out. TW just put a review up reciently. Good strings for the money. Iontec Black is another string to look at (Mamba Tennis).

Iv heard a lot of reviews about revolution being worse than rpm so no point

Why do people spread rumors. Why don't you try the Solinco Revolution first before you say it is stiff. I personally love the Solinco Revolution 1.20 strung at 48 pounds on a Babolat Star 5 stringer on a 98" head racquet. It has a nice pocketing feel and holds tension very well. Plays great for most of its life before breaking. I would estimate 10-12 hours.

This is compared to MSV Focus Hex 1.18, Kirschbaum Pro Line 2 1.20, Weiss Cannon Black 5 Edge 1.24.

No rumor bud they felt fairly stiff to me. Not Tour Bite stiff by any means. With that being said I strung it at 52 and that was a while back before I understood stringing below 50 with a copoly was a good thing.
