## Questions & Answers

**Q: Whats the gauge size of the thinnest string?**
A: The thinnest string of the RPM Blast is 18 gauge. Here is the link to the string.https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B0039AF51W/ref=dp_olp_new?ie=UTF8&condition=newThank you,

**Q: What is the tension for this string ?**
A: This string does not have a specific tension. Unless specified, Tennis Express will always string most racquets to mid or recommended tension as specified by the manufacturer. If interested in purchasing this string, don't hesitate to reach out to us directly to find the most appropriate tension for your racquet and/or playing style.

**Q: 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 ?**
A: 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.

**Q: what would be the perfect string for a babolat pure storm GT racquet**
A: 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.
