Mantis Sport

Rackets and balls

For adults there are two families. The Pro range includes the PS 300 'Tour'. Lighter models sit in the CS range, such as the CS 275. Juniors get the X range, where the X25 and X26 each come in 'Challenge' and 'Phantom' versions. An online racket finder quiz asks about level, playing style and preferences, then suggests a model.

Tennis balls come in two types, Tour and All Court, sold in four-ball tubes. Coaches can buy them in bulk. On the padel side, there are rackets and Rebound balls.

Kit, clubs and where it comes from

Players can add vibration dampeners, overgrips, strings and a racket backpack. The clothing line covers caps, crews, T-shirts and hoodies in adult and junior sizes, plus kit made for particular tennis clubs. Schools, colleges, clubs and coaches can join a separate programme for equipment and event help. Mantis says Britain is where its products are developed and New York is where they are designed. Manufacturing takes place in China, Thailand and Taiwan.

Before you order

Orders normally go out within 2 business days of payment. Royal Mail or FedEx carries them from whichever warehouse, UK or European, sits closer. In the UK, transit takes 2 to 3 days. Checkout calculates shipping, and a free flat-rate choice shows up on UK baskets above £90. Elsewhere, transit is 3 to 7 days, or 7 to 9 to the US. Import duties fall to the buyer outside the UK, and P.O. box addresses are not accepted.

Returns open with an email to [email protected], sent within 30 days of the item arriving. Goods must be unused, and they need their tags, original packaging and proof of purchase. UK and US customers receive a return label free of charge, and no restocking fee applies. Gift cards and reduced-price items are not returnable.
