Should I take it?

[JMS]

I have the oppurtunity to take a player package from Tecnifibre. At a discounted price I get 2 racquets, 12 pack bag, string, grips, shirts, stencil and ink, plus most of their porducts at a discounted price. Should I do it, I would have to keep their stencil on my strings and I have to use their strings.

[Jonny S&V]

Do it. If you like their racquets, why not? If you haven't tried any of their racquets out previous, just demo them and decide.

[cujays]

i would take it

what is your sectional ranking? did you apply for it on their website?

[JMS]

what is your sectional ranking? did you apply for it on their website?

not that good as far as sectional ranking, yet. Just told them recent tournament and high school results, and yes through the website

[Topspinjim]

how long did it take for them to reply to you?

[Topspinjim]

not that good as far as sectional ranking, yet. Just told them recent tournament and high school results, and yes through the website

yea i'll apply for it then..i wasn't sure since it said you need a top 250 national ranking

[JMS]

I sent it in last night at 10:15 and they replied at about 9 this morning so it should not take long, good luck, do you use Tecnifibre sticks?

[Topspinjim]

no but I know several players who use them and have heard very good reviews.

[Topspinjim]

I sent it in last night at 10:15 and they replied at about 9 this morning so it should not take long, good luck, do you use Tecnifibre sticks?

I'm guessing they just sent the reply to your email?

[babolat15]

ya take it

[JMS]

I'm guessing they just sent the reply to your email?

yes.......

[JMS]

would anyone know what their best strings are.

[scout]

I think it's a great idea to take it. I took a sponsorship similar to this (not with Technifibre) when I was 12 (I'm 16 now) and as my results got better so did my sponsorship.

who was it with, if you wish to not share I understand

[Topspinjim]

would anyone know what their best strings are.

Technifibre NRG2

[Functionc]

i would take it if i like the brand, but i would demo it first

[feyya]

i didnt take it.

[Bundey]

Why would you apply if you weren't planning on taking it?

[JMS]

Why would you apply if you weren't planning on taking it?

For starters I didn't think I would get it, not that it is any of your business

[Bundey]

Oh, sorry, didn't mean to offend you. Do you use their sticks? I would take it if I liked there equipment.

[JMS]

misunderstanding, I am in the process of demoing them right now

[JMS]

congrats...

[JMS]

r u going to take it?

[Topspinjim]

r u going to take it?

Yea I have a tournament in 2 weeks so I'm going to demo and order them after that.

[mhstennis100]

Topspinjim, what is your ranking and is it full sponsor or partial or what?

[Topspinjim]

Topspinjim, what is your ranking and is it full sponsor or partial or what?

I'm an A draw in Superchamps 18's. I got a partial sponsorship.

[tai2x]

Hey whats the site?

[mhstennis100]

Geez I was in 14 champs and was hoping to get one. Guess not lol. Oh well doesn't hurt to try. What email did you use? Because I found a couple on their site.

[Topspinjim]

Geez I was in 14 champs and was hoping to get one. Guess not lol. Oh well doesn't hurt to try. What email did you use? Because I found a couple on their site.

Well if your in champs you'll probably have a good chance of getting it since it didn't really ask what your sectional ranking was or anything in the application.

[arodnadal]

i got it.....jw what racket is simliair to the babolat pure drive std racket?

[mhstennis100]

Wow I got it. Are any TF rackets similar to the PS 6.0 95?

[Matt_MS]

What does severly discounted mean? How much did all of that cost?

[ayyhwang]

I would just wait until you can get full sponsorship by Technifibre.

[JMS]

I would just wait until you can get full sponsorship by Technifibre.

after a lot of thought i agree with you

[NebAce1]

Yea JMS how much does the whole package cost if you don't mind me asking?

[JMS]

Yea JMS how much does the whole package cost if you don't mind me asking?

like 259 for 2 racquets, one 12 pack bag, shirts, grips, a bunch of string and all their products at a "preffered" price if i order it at the same time

[Topspinjim]

I would just wait until you can get full sponsorship by Technifibre.

yea i was kinda disappointed I didn't get a full..i'm just wondering how high my ranking will need to get.

[JMS]

yea i was kinda disappointed I didn't get a full..i'm just wondering how high my ranking will need to get.

considering my ranking is not high at all and they gave me a "half" sponsorship, I don't think it would have to be that high, maybe just a high state ranking

[iplaybetter]

take it there sticks are good, and i many would chose to use their string no force needed

[JMS]

take it there sticks are good, and i many would chose to use their string no force needed

yeah i am about to demo a couple racquets before i make my absolute final decision

[mhstennis100]

Me too, I'm demoing the 335 and I might try the 320.

[JMS]

Me too, I'm demoing the 335 and I might try the 320.

that is exactly what i am doing, hopefully they will come soon

[JMS]

tried the 335 and really liked it

[iplaybetter]

i am almost a rep the way i talk about my stick, most people who try it like it

[JMS]

i am almost a rep the way i talk about my stick, most people who try it like it

it plays much lighter than i expected with amazing topspin capability

[iplaybetter]

for me it does every thing i could ask for

[Topspinjim]

which racquet would be for a more aggressive player the 335?

[JMS]

which racquet would be for a more aggressive player the 335?

I would say so, so i suppose ur taking it?

[Topspinjim]

yea i talked to the pro at my shop and he was saying they had real good sticks.

[JMS]

yea i talked to the pro at my shop and he was saying they had real good sticks.

same here and they are usually so unapproving of non-Prince sticks :rolleyes:

[DShul21]

at the price that u said its probably worth waiting until ur good enough to get a full sponsorship unless u were planning on buying new rackets anyway

[JMS]

at the price that u said its probably worth waiting until ur good enough to get a full sponsorship unless u were planning on buying new rackets anyway

i was planning on buying new sticks

[DShul21]

then its definately worth it if you like their rackets

[scout]

Sorry I didn't reply before when I was asked. I am sponsored by Prince.

[ayyhwang]

Fully sponsored or preferred player? For Prince you have to be top 20 in nation to get fully sponsored. What's your name and age group?

[nyc]

Personally I think they make some of the finest racquets today and are often overlooked as they don't have the massive budgets like Wilson or Prince to sponsor top players. Try a search on these boards and you'll see a lot of love for their racquets. I would suggest trying the 335 and the 320's both in open string patterns.


Their strings are top notch.
X1 Biphase
NRG2
Promix
Red Code

[mhstennis100]

My head pro hates their rackets. He says they are to unstable (the 335). My coach said it's a solid frame though, so I don't know what to do...

[nyc]

^^ I guess my advice would be to try them for yourself.

[DShul21]

prince does make some really good frames the o3 tour is a great racket

[dbenesch15]

I got offered this same tecnifibre package for being a college tennis player. I didn't take it though. I decided to go with a player preferred package from Dunlop instead. But, the tecnifibre rackets are really good.

[Silentgunz]

man i would take it instantly if i got offered lol...

[tenniskid3119]

I got offered this same tecnifibre package for being a college tennis player. I didn't take it though. I decided to go with a player preferred package from Dunlop instead. But, the tecnifibre rackets are really good.

hey dbenesch15,

how did you contact Dunlop?

[Noveson]

JMS, or TopspinJim, what email did you use, and what did you say in teh email? If you don't mind answering me. I think i have good enough results to get a perferred sponorship. Thanks.

[JMS]

go to their website, search around and there is a form to fill out. I just listed recent results for tourneys and high school, and talked about how much i practiced, and how well i could represent their brand

[Rafa freak]

I used to play with technifiber there great.

[Noveson]

go to their website, search around and there is a form to fill out. I just listed recent results for tourneys and high school, and talked about how much i practiced, and how well i could represent their brand

Okay thanks a lot. I will try that. I already use Tecnifibre racquets anyway.

[babolat15]

dunlop is better in my opinion, its easy to get a sponsorship with them

[prostaff18]

Most companies have these kinds of deals. For example Wilson has one called the college player package or something like that. If you contact any company they should tell you about their program. All the string companies do it too. You just have to talk to the right people. Most of these programs are used by college programs; the player gets the deal and the team buys the stuff. In most of these packages you get three racquets, a bag, and some clothing for like $300.

[redsoxrock930]

The tecni fibre raquets kick ass. Great control on the serve and great spin from the baseline, also great feel from the net. String it tight. Plays similar to the Head Prestige i found.

[Silentgunz]

man i got turned down... im sadden... i shoulda put more info of my accomplishment but i just put like 4 recent... and it said u gotta be top 250 nationally... stupid company... i want it i want it i want it... i dont think im gonna play tennis anymore

[Noveson]

Hey JMS, thanks a lot. I got the preffered package also. Racquets for 93! Thanks a lot man I owe you.

[tenniskid3119]

what technifbre racquet is close to the mfil or aerogel 300?

[babolat15]

i was offered it a long time ago and turned it down for dunlop

[JMS]

Hey JMS, thanks a lot. I got the preffered package also. Racquets for 93! Thanks a lot man I owe you.

no problem, and Congrats :D :D

[Forehand Forever]

I'm 15 years old and I have a shoulder injury. I'm thinking about applying. What Technifbre racquet would be good for my shoulder. I'm looking for the 95-100 sq inch range.

[Silentgunz]

Hey JMS, thanks a lot. I got the preffered package also. Racquets for 93! Thanks a lot man I owe you.


dude how good are u ?

cause it said u had to be top 250 nationally... did u put that u wanted the preffered package ?... maybe i can be like my friend got the preffered package and he doesnt come close to the requirement or something

[dbenesch15]

tenniskid3319,
I had my coach contact the southern california dunlop rep and he got the order forms forwarded to me. I also work at a tennis shop in northern california so I was going to go through our stores dunlop rep too through my boss. Hope this helps you.

[dbenesch15]

hey dbenesch15,

how did you contact Dunlop?
look above i just posted my answer to your question

[Aeropro master]

would anyone know what their best strings are.

Pro Red Code (poly) is a pretty good string.

[JLyon]

All the string companies do it too. You just have to talk to the right people. Most of these programs are used by college programs; the player gets the deal and the team buys the stuff. In most of these packages you get three racquets, a bag, and some clothing for like $300.

Babolat used to have a college package where you got a bag, 3 rackets (Pure Drives), some string, and a shirt for right around $300. I took advantage of this as player/coach back in 2000-01.
Very nice deal at the time but not sure what they require now. i know some local juniors have some sort of Babolat sponsorship, although one recently got dropped and switch to a partial with Prince.

[Forehand Forever]

I applied, doubt I'll get it but its worth a shot.

[sctennis1]

i just applied to fingers crossed

[sctennis1]

how many of you were dealing with mr.Kid?
