Picking a target. Changing direction down the line. Taking pace off a volley. The Mantis Pro range is designed for players who want a clear connection between their swing and the shot they produce.
Available in 295g and 310g, both Pro models combine a 98 sq in head, a slim 21mm straight beam and a 16×19 string pattern. The emphasis is on placement, responsive feedback and the confidence to commit to your strokes.
Your choice comes down to how much weight you comfortably handle and the response you prefer at contact.
What can the Pro range bring to your game?
Control to play with purpose
The Pro range is built around a compact head and slim frame profile, with an emphasis on predictable response. For players who generate their own pace, that can help when directing a rally, changing angles or accelerating towards a smaller target.
The aim is to give you the confidence to swing fully and trust your placement.
Feel for more than baseline hitting
Feedback matters when you are judging a drop shot, cushioning a volley or adjusting the depth of a slice. The Pro range is designed to give players a clear sense of contact, supporting a game built around touch and variation as well as pace.
Access to spin
Both models use a 16×19 string pattern, giving players scope to develop topspin alongside the range’s focus on control. That makes the Pro a useful option for players who mix penetrating drives with higher, heavier rally balls.
Spin still depends on your technique, racket speed and string setup.
A choice of handling and stability
The Pro 295 offers the lighter route into the range. The Pro 310 adds mass for players who value a more substantial response through contact.
Both have a head-light balance, placing the balance point towards the handle to support manoeuvrability.

Weights are unstrung.
Pro 295: precision with easier acceleration
At 295g unstrung, the Pro 295 suits players who want the range’s control and feedback in a more manageable weight.
Its lighter build can help you prepare quickly, accelerate through a groundstroke and make adjustments when a rally changes direction. That makes it worth considering for players who enjoy taking the ball early, moving forward or using racket speed to create angles.
Its stiffness rating of 65 indicates a slightly more flexible frame than the Pro 310, although strings and tension will also influence feel.
The Pro 295 is particularly worth considering for:
-
Intermediate club players developing consistent, confident strokes.
-
Attacking baseliners who prioritise racket speed and placement.
-
Doubles players who value quick preparation at the net.
-
Developing juniors ready for a 98 sq in adult frame, with their coach’s guidance.
-
Experienced players who enjoy a control-focused racket at a lighter weight.
During a demo, pay attention to your return of serve and defensive shots. You want a racket that is easy to prepare while still giving you confidence against incoming pace.
Pro 310: substance and stability for committed swings
The Pro 310 adds 15g of unstrung weight. For players who can maintain their preparation and swing speed, that additional mass can help the racket feel more substantial when driving through the ball, blocking a return or meeting a firm volley.
Its balance point sits closer to the handle than the Pro 295’s, helping retain manoeuvrability within the heavier frame. Its slightly higher stiffness rating also points towards a firmer response.
The Pro 310 is particularly worth considering for:
-
Strong intermediate and advanced club players with established technique.
-
Players who generate their own pace and want confidence directing it.
-
Baseliners regularly facing heavier hitting.
-
All-court players who value solidity on approaches and volleys.
-
Players already comfortable with rackets weighing around 310g unstrung.
Test it late in a session as well as during the warm-up. The extra weight should continue to support your game when you are serving under pressure or defending on the run.
Choose your model, then your finish
The Pro 295 comes in Phantom and Tournament, while the Pro 310 comes in Phantom and Team. These are cosmetic options within each model, so choose the playing specification first and the look you prefer second.
Both models feature THERMOCORE FUSION™ and PRECISIONCRAFT™ construction. These processes focus on uniform carbon-and-resin bonding and carefully controlled carbon-fibre placement, designed to support consistent frame response.
Which Pro should you choose?
Consider the Pro 295 if you want control and feel with easier acceleration. Consider the Pro 310 if you prefer more mass through contact and can handle that weight comfortably throughout a match.
A useful demo should include serves, returns, volleys and defensive shots—not just comfortable baseline hitting. Look for the model that helps you prepare on time, make clean contact and commit to your chosen target.
Try the Pro 295 or Pro 310 through the Mantis 14-day demo programme and find the weight that works for your game.
Play is Progress.
