[Doublebounce]

I absolutely love Tecnifbre Red Code 16 g string. is it possible to get a sponsorship for just string from them?? bc i dont want to switch racquets

They look for your ranking, participation in the community(teaching little kids, organizing tennis fundraisers, that sorta thing), varsity tennis looks nice, and if you string your racquets it looks nice too

This has probably been asked before but I'm not going to read through 100 pages of this. Are their any companies that offer sponsorships to players without a ranking, strictly on varsity results?

you have a chance at D-squad, theres more chance of you getting in rather than failing, what do you mean specifically by results?

[!<-_->!]

philosoraptor, what price deal did you get with D-Squad?

[Doubles]

So I'm really interested in the Dunlop 200 right now, it feels awesome. Does Dunlop actually require a ranking? I've seen some posts saying that they'll give it to anyone with money, and I've seen some saying you need to be playing tournaments. I'm not completely sure I want to switch, but just in case, saving money would be rather nice, than buying 2-3 new 200's...

As in undefeated season, part of a conference winning team, or a state qualifier.

the preferred player's package, its 299 for 2 racquets a 6 pack bag and a couple of shirts and hats and a reel of string and 399 for 3 racquets and a 10 pack and 499?(idk) for 4 racquets and a 10 pack bag..im sad that they raised the prices from last year AND we get less stuff

yeah, you'd definately get into d-squad, you'd have a chance at other easy sponsorships like mantis and etc.

Ah. You had a 4 racquet offer? I have the same first 2, but then the 3rd option was 5 racquets and stuff for 619

sorry, what you have was the third option, either way I still haven't ordered because i dont know what racquet to get. btw, do you think they'd let me use the 2010 form for a 4d racquet if i dont like the biomimetics
EDIT: you were right on the $619 thing, its been a while since I checked my email -_-

there really aren't any others. kirschbaum might give a small discount, but you need a nat ranking

2010 pricing(just checked my email to be 100% sure here):
$249: 2 racquets, 1 ten pack bag, 2 reels of string, 2 shirts and hats, a stencil kit.
$349: same kit except with 3 racquets.
$599: 5 racquets and the same shazam.
2011 pricing:
$299: 2 racquets, 1 6 pack bag, 1 reel of string, 2 hats and shirts, a stencil kit.
$399: 3 racquets, 1 ten pack bag, same deal as the 299.
$619: 5 racquets, 1 ten pack bag, 2 reels of string and the rest is the same

Just got offered with Dunlop today. I think I may go with the 3 racket package, after demoing a couple from Tennis Warehouse since Dunlop won't send me any to demo.
