This review is from: Double Force Tennis Strokes (Hardcover)

Borsos' premise that tennis teaching technique is stagnant has in fact been confirmed by the success of the Williams girls. The tennis 'talking heads' can't figure out how this was done. However, Borsos' book is overwrought with complexity. His technique modifications are unrealistically involved and variable. The sad fact is that the few players with the flexibility of mind to look for and make adjustments in order to grow their games will do so. The rest are destined to 'plateau' and play their games in a futile treadmill fashion. Heck, they still have fun. They still compete.
