Who it is for

Advancing and competitive players looking for polyester with a soft response.

Why it works

Babolat RPM Soft is a co-polyester string in 1.25 mm; the round profile gives it a predictable, even string bed.

Watch-outs

Polyester loses tension quickly and is harsh on sensitive arms — restring regularly and drop tension rather than pushing it.

Strengths

Comfortable response
Predictable string bed

Trade-offs

Tension drops with use
Gauge changes feel; try one step either way

Compatible player profiles

Intermediate swing speeds
Advanced swing speeds
Players protecting an arm
Spin-focused hitters
