    2.0 out of 5 stars Tennis IQ is Elementary, June 18, 2010
    Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
    This review is from: Improve Your Tennis IQ: The Intelligent Workout to Improve Your Skills on Court (Paperback)
    Tennis IQ is nicely written and organized. But unfortunately for me, it was also extremely basic. So, if you want to test yourself on the basic foundations of tennis strokes and tactics, it's a good fit. But if the 'IQ' in the title makes you think this is an advanced and cerebral book, be much more careful- you're liable to be disappointed as I was.
