Magic Tricks? I just want to play better tennis. The title turned me off of the book initially and then the price. It costs about two to three times what other tennis books cost. But I did the "click to read inside" and I felt I learned some good tips right away so I bought the book to see what the rest of it was about.

And the good advice just kept popping out page after page.

The book is not organized by chapters of ideas but rather by question and answers. You find your question and read the answer. I find that I do better with the book when I have an actual question in my mind than just reading the questions in order with their answers. Having that mental conversation makes a huge difference. I'd say this book is actually worth about 20 or so private lessons so it is a good value.

Finally Mallory is an engaging writer. So he keeps you hooked and thinking about what is going on. I cannot say the same for the some of the Pros I've taken lessons from!

1.0 out of 5 stars Just like the "The Secret" and nothing new for the average player, April 18, 2011

Well as a rated 5.x club player I enjoyed the first half of the book as it confirmed some of the basics techniques or tennis. I even found a couple of trick to practice and they proved well on court. However, the second part of the book is a complete ink waste (although I was reading it on my Kindle). The second half is very much similar to this book I once read about the "Secret": think of it and it will happen. It adds nothing new. I was looking at some of the mechanics and ticks I just found comic narration of nothing to take with me on court.

The ideas in this book are very worthwhile for tennis players from beginner to advanced. You likely won't find every tip to be that helpful for you but you can be pretty sure that there will be quite a few that you're going to want to ponder before the next time you step on the court. Very helpful!
