Opening Serve

Thanks to the Tennis Nerd for sharing this exclusive review of the new Mantis Pro 310 and PS 300 rackets. To enjoy the full review head over to the Tennis Nerd’s website or watch the video review on YouTube

Mantis returns to the racquet scene with purpose.

The brand launched over 15 years but has recently had a complete refresh thanks to new owners and now offers two key models: the Pro and the PS. The Pro targets the player who generates their own pace and demands precision; the PS serves club players who want an easier-to-use, spin-friendly frame.

The Stats

• Pro 310: 98 sq in head, 310 g unstrung, 16×19 pattern, 21 mm beam, stiffness rating 67.
• PS 300: 100 sq in head, 300g unstrung, 16×19 pattern, variable beam (23.5/25/22.5 mm), stiffness 70.
  Cosmetics are updated: the Pro in “Phantom” black and “Team” black/pink; the PS in black/grey “Tour” and pink/white “Challenge”.

On-Court Feel

Pro 310: This is a niche tool – high control, thin beam, demanding sweet spot. If you can whip head speed and hit consistently in the pocket, you’ll enjoy the crisp feel and depth. But off-centre hits? The racquet punishes them.
PS 300: The standout of the two. It offers easier power and spin, above-average comfort for its category, and a user-friendly nature that makes it appeal to a wider audience of club and advanced-intermediate players. The higher swing‐weight measured may dampen manoeuvrability slightly, but the stability and pop compensate.

Value & Verdict

Price is a strength: the review flags the models as “highly competitive” in cost.

The overall conclusion: They may not break new ground in a crowded racquet market, but they deliver solid performance at an appealing price. Many club players will find the PS 300 particularly compelling; the Pro 310 will suit those with refined technique seeking precision.

Final Word

If you’re in the market for a racquet that offers good value and balanced performance—especially the PS 300—Mantis’s revival is worth a look. The Pro 310 is more for the control-loving, gear-savvy player. In short: dependable, well-priced, and a welcome re-entry from Mantis.
