Every player remembers the one coach who saw something in them.

Coaching isn’t just about technique, it’s about accountability, discipline, and seeing things in your game you can’t see yourself. From juniors learning the fundamentals to seasoned players refining details, the presence of a coach can speed up progress in ways no solo training can.

Trusted by Coaches, Backed by Players

That’s why at Mantis, we work closely with clubs and coaches around the world. We know they’re the ones shaping the sport from the ground up. And when they choose equipment, it has to be gear they can trust, for themselves and for the players they mentor.

As Andrew McKeeman, Head Coach at Dungannon Tennis Academy, puts it:

"I've recently partnered with Mantis and have been using both the Pro Series and PS Series rackets (depending on if I feel like Federer or Nadal when I wake up) as well as the Tour balls for both coaching and league matches at our club. I have nothing but positive feedback! The rackets have exceptional playability… Everyone wants to know more and when they find out the prices compared to other leading brands they're very excited!"

Coaches are at the heart of tennis and we’re proud to support them.
