Ultimate Sponsorship Thread

if I live in israel, and I'm ranked top 100 in my age group in here, is it enough for a tecnifibre/ dunlop sponsorship ?

So are you guys saying that posting videos on youtube will help your application?

Decided to go try out Mantis strings since i probably don't have much to lose. How long does it actually take to get the order all set and ready to go? I just received an email back at noon and looks like they aren't answering calls and not responding to emails. :/ .... Been trying to contact Roger Guerrero?

Does anybody have the email address for the manager who is responsible for Babolat junior sponsorship in US? My son would like to apply for a partial sponsorship. He turned 16 two months ago and is currently ranked #6 in our section for B18.

Does he play big tournaments? (Nats), if so you could maybe try and meet Them there- otherwise I'm surprised they havent contacted him yet.

Depends: do you have a large audience, entertaining, high quality tennis, well rounded etc?

So basically $299 for just 2 racquets, no bags and accessories?

EDIT : Oh nevermind.

Every package includes bag and other goodies, differing only in # of sticks.
