We’re excited to announce a new partnership with Mantis, one of the UK’s leading independent racket brands. Built with exceptional craftsmanship and honest pricing, Mantis rackets consistently rival — and often outperform — the biggest names in the game, offering true tour-level feel without the inflated price tag.
“These are super-quality rackets — including the best performance racket I’ve ever played with.
Mantis undercuts all the big brands with zero compromise.”
Francis Mackie, Tennis Director
