For those of you who have elected to take Dunlop up on their offer, which racquet are you selecting?

Jdrizzle03 · 01-04-2011, 06:09 PM

Hey guys i was just wondering if you guys think it would be wrong just to email a company to see what they would offer and then maybe say no?

Ehh depends on the company. And I mean if you were wanting a full sponsorship, but then they only will offer you a preferred player, then if you can't afford a preferred player/don't want one then I think it's fine to turn it down.

I applied to Mantis just cause I was bored. Pretty much I said: I like tennis, I play lots of tennis, Mantis strings=good (I've never used Mantis). The guy gave me a 40% off sponsorship thing. So I would just email them again

Does anyone know the requirements for juniors in receiving a full sponsorship for any of the top companies? I know some of the requirements for partial, but not full. Thanks in advance.

lol the top companies are probably like top 10. most others are probably 50-100

J.Lee42 · 01-04-2011, 07:43 PM

Top 10 in the nation? or...?

yea, pretty much. usually if they haven't asked you if you will play for them, you do not qualify for a full. if you do, they will come to you. you may still be able to get preferred player though.

Ok thanks man, I was just asking because I might just want to ask to see what they offer and weigh my options because I like my racket and string now, but getting a discount is always helpful. Also, does anyone know about tecnifibre? And can you just get a string sponsorship with them?

What kind of racket do you use now? I have talked to technifibre, and they have gotten a lot stricter on their requirements. A couple years ago apparantly if you could hit the ball you would get a sponsorship from them. Technifibre now requires top 300 in the nation (US). Actually, here is the email the rep sent me.

Thanks for your request, we greatly appreciate your inquiry for the Tecnifibre USA Team Program. Here are the details and requirements (which is a preferred player pricing sponsorship):

Requirements: Who qualifies?

Junior players with a top 300 USTA National ranking
NCAA Division I, II, and III college players and coaches
NAIA college players and coaches
NJCAA Top 15 ranked college team members and coaches
Adult players with a top 25 national ranking
Adult players with a top 5 ranking in their section
USPTA and PTR certified teaching professionals with current status

Ok good to know thanks for your information. Do clothing companies think the same way or do they stop giving sponsorships when kids go to college?
