Babolat RPM Blast 17/1.25
Court Score 4 out of 5
$22
The classic black octagon that made shaped poly famous—heavy spin and firm control if you already swing big; stiff, not free power, and not Rafa’s exact 15L bed.
Luxilon ALU Power 125 (16L / 1.25)
Court Score 4 out of 5
$21.50
The silver co-poly that defined modern control stringing—firm, precise, and still the tour benchmark if you swing hard and restring often.
