Who is the Babolat RPM Hurricane 12M 1.30 (16) best suited for?

Polyester (co-poly) is the choice for advanced players with full swings who want control, spin and durability. It's best suited to mature players - we don't recommend full-bed polyester for juniors or anyone with arm issues.

What does the 1.30 mm (16 gauge) gauge mean?

The 1.30 mm (16 gauge) indicates the string's thickness. This is a thicker gauge, which trades a little feel for extra durability and tension stability.

What tension should I string it at?

The recommended tension range is 48-55 lbs (22-25 kg). String toward the lower end for more power and arm comfort; higher end for tighter control.

How long will this string last?

This is a durable string that should last most club players 25-40 hours of play or around 2-3 months of regular use before losing pop.
