RPM Blast with a textured coating for a bit more grab on the ball. Once the coating wears, which takes a few hours for heavy hitters, it plays close to Blast: stiff, low launch, good snapback, goes dead before it breaks. Same tension advice as Blast: 2 to 4 lb under your multi, no higher than the mid 50s. If you cannot tell it apart from Blast after a week, buy Blast.
Best for: Extra grab. Feel: Stiff, textured. Gauge: 17. Look at the gauge on the pack before it goes in the racket.
