201 5RACKET SPORTS CATALOGUE

Introducing MANTIS,

From the Royal Albert Hall to your club .. . .

Although a relatively new brand to the Sports Market, MANTIS have quickly established high profile links in the

Racket sport world to get seriously noticed. From being the official ball of the Statoil Masters Tennis, Official

racket to the Allam British Open squash event - which is the Wimbledon tournament of the squash world, to

being Greg Rusedski's racket of choice MANTIS has certainly been noticed.

There is a wealth of experience in the MANTIS Team, from Sourcing product, testing and route to market, the

MANTIS tennis ball has been greatly received on the court, not only for Performance, but for durability and value

for money. The Founder of MANTIS, once a tennis professional and global product manager for a major tennis

brand, has developed tennis balls previously for two of the four Grand Slams and has great connections with the

factories where the products are made. Just a bit of inside information, our tennis ball factory currently supplies

tennis balls (from another brand) to two of the Four Grand Slams.

The MANTIS brand ethos is simple: to provide a premium product without charging a premium price.

MANTIS, the story so far. . . .
