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?

How to Contact Babolat for Junior Sponsorship?

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.

Just google Babolat USA and you will see some contact numbers. They are in Colorado.

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

EDIT : Oh nevermind.

Just email Matt asking for UPS tracking number. The package I ordered for my son last Thursday will arrive this Thursday.

Never mind. I emailed Paul about it and he took care of it rather quickly. They misplaced my package and have just shipped it out today and they are giving me a tracking # tomorrow.

Wilson contacts a local distributor and you pick up your racquets there. At least thats what Babolat did.
So basically, your not going to know.

Then they will most likely just grab them off the shelves. Regardless if you have a full sponsorship or partial, they wouldn't spend the time to do so for 1 junior. If they did, there workers would be dead from exhaustion.

Yeah I filled out everything on the team head application. It says they'll get back to you in less than six weeks, so maybe I'm just being too impatient.

Babolat returned our call within a day. Several years ago, Prince also returned email in 2-3 days. You may want to call them.

i know head doesn't do that. My rackets are shipped from Baltimore but I'd very much prefer picking it up at a local dealer since I have like 20 near my house haha

Babolat sure does.

Well, hopefully i move to a good location in a couple years. Just 5 years early preparation to move down to SoCal. Maybe next to the Tennis Warehouse haha. Theres like no tennis stores around where i live. Be thankful that you dont have to pay for shipping every other week.

I was thinking because I already get Wilson sticks and can get Luxilon at a cheap price as well as shoes and clothing, but i like tecnifibre strings lol...and rackets better. But I do not know who to contact for them, and since their contact section on their website may be for a Euro division of the company (or maybe not?) im just not too sure on who to get with about it, or dunlop possibly as well, although i do not like any of their strings unfortunately.
 
The only thing that I got was a ******* account lol. And the companies like bab,head,wilson sponsor people through a retail shop. Example, they give you one racket and some string...I was lucky enough that since I work along side of our head pro as a hitting partner/junior development coach that he "sponsored" me through the wilson account that he had.
