I play with the Babolat Pure Storm Tour GT. I was using 3 Wilson K 6.1 95\'s but I just bought one Babolat and it is a lot better. I have a partial with Wilson, and I did not try for Babolat because I do not know who to contact.

Ya I do. I played the ottawa open a couple years back and I won it, at the Rideau. The GT is awesome compared to the k 6.1 95, except for serving.

Thanks for the reply. I couldn't find their email of their site so by any chance would you know Wilson's or one of their representatives?

Emailed Kirschbaum and both my brother and I qualify for the 20 % preferred package which is 1 level down from the full sponsorship..

The guy Eduardo is really strict... but I am not sure about switching strings yet. I am still in the midst of play testing PLII and whether I should hybrid it (like I usually do)...

Dunlops really easy. Kristin Mears is very flexible and even lets kids who don't even have national rankings obtain the deal of like 200 bucks for 4 racquets, a bag, strings, hat, stencil

I know this because I was on the verge of switching to Dunlop, but something held me back and I am still with my old Flexpoint Prestige MP and decided to wait on for the Youtek Prestige..

Very unfortunate that I age out of the 14s in a couple of weeks and by the time the Youtek Prestige comes out, I won't have a ranking to get a deal with head. :(

I would have to wait and develop my ranking in my section and I'm from Eastern so achieving a top 25 ranking in the 16s is tough to do until probably my 2nd year in the 16s

Both are equally as easy. However Dunlop's package is a lot more enticing. You get 4 racquets versus 2 from Tec.

She is an extremely nice woman , but she's very laid back and takes her time. She only replies at work hours and never checks email during weekends and stuff. So patience is a key with her. If you just sent her an email. Maybe Monday you'll get a response.

Dude, you should at least try and like the racquets before taking the package.

Like I am losing my elegibility to get any package with any company since I am aging out of the 14s in a few weeks, but that isn't a reason for me to get a Head package right now because I am waiting for the Youtek Prestige.

I know alot of people that would buy a package and get a temporary racquet (lets say the YT Rad ) and then use their re order sheet to get the YT Prestiges for a cheaper price.

Looks like I am going to have to buy my YT Prestiges through a regular shop... (maybe through fromut h since I have an account with them)

These companies want solid kids, committed to the development of their game, and a good representation of their brand. As an example I know a player who lost all his "freebees" you name it, sticks, strings, shoes, bags the whole thing and he was highly ranked nationally. Why? Because the sponsors rep happened to be at a tournament where this young man was playing and noticed that he had a major temper attitude after almost every point he won or lost. Obnoxiously arrogant, but highly ranked. When I asked the rep why they pulled the package the reps answer was we don't have time to deal with someone that does not represent the brand professionally.

Maybe, Dunlop maybe even give you their deal. Give it a shot, it's better to try than not at all..
