Babolat RPM Rough Racquet Reel 125/17g

Babolat RPM Rough Racquet Reel 125/17g

Babolat RPM Rough Racquet Reel 125/17g delivers a spin‑focused, tournament‑grade polyester string in a full 660 ft (200 m) reel for shop stringing or frequent restringing. The textured, octagonal monofilament profile—part of the RPM Blast family—uses an imprinted rough surface and a cross‑linked silicone coating to increase ball bite, enhance spin potential, and reduce frictional notching for longer play life.

This 17 gauge (1.25 mm) Co‑polyester (Co‑PET) string is positioned as a slightly softer, more responsive and spinnier alternative to standard RPM Blast while retaining strong durability. Available in Dark Grey (Black), Optic Yellow, and Fluorescent Red/Orange, it’s suited to aggressive baseliners and competitive players who prioritize spin and control.
