Question 3

What is weight. i am planning to strung this. however i see my friends racquet strung with it n become quite heavy compare to vs team natural gut ?

Accepted Answer

I started to use Baboat RPM Blast #17 Black about 4 years ago. I am intermediate player. But when I play with RPM, I enjoy of simplycity to control the ball because this string shape is octagonal. My tention is 50-52 lbs. Racquet is Babolal Pure Drive GT Plus.  Gauge #16 is a little harder but I restrung it back with #17. Trying to play with my racquet my 3 friends also switched to RPM #17 from Natural.Gut.

Question 4

what would be the perfect string for a babolat pure storm GT racquet

Accepted Answer

Oh wow I haven't met anyone with that in a while. It is a rather stiff raquet if i am not mistaken, I used it a year ago with Luxilon ALU power rough and it felt quite good. If you want a poly string I would recommend that, and if you want a very stiff controlled feel I would go for the babolat RPM blast as shown here. If hybrids are your thing, i highly recommend a mixture of RPM blast in the mains at 53 lbs and Babolat Origin at 55 in the crosses. I am currently running that setup on my Head Graphene speed pro and it is DAMN good.
