Exceptional instruction,
By A Customer
This review is from: Tennis Strokes that Win (Paperback)
"Hip and shoulder rotation," and "weight transfer." How many times have we heard these phrases used to describe what we should be doing to hit the ball. I know I've heard them a few thousand times, but I've never heard anyone explain, exactly, what they mean. I always assumed they meant: turn your body and lean into it. Frank Early breaks the concepts down to surprisingly precise detail and makes them easy for even a hacker like me to incorperate into my strokes. This is a great book!

Masterful,
By A Customer
This review is from: Tennis Strokes that Win (Paperback)
I am a 3.5 level player, but my shots were inconsistant. I could not really pinpoint what it was about a shot that made it good (or bad as was often the case) until I picked up this book. Unlike the other books that I read around this time, it does not merely offer hitting tips - rather it focuses on the mechanics of a stroke. The author has also inserted a bunch of relevant photos of pro tennis players executing a stroke to illustrate his point. I found that very useful.

2 thumbs up,
By A Customer
This review is from: Tennis Strokes that Win (Paperback)
A short easy read. It's only a little over 100 pages and almost half the pages are pictures of professional players in action. IMO: The best thing about this book is that it's free from defective advice (which is saying a lot for a book on tennis strokes -- regardless of who wrote it). Worth a read even if you're a teaching pro or advanced player.
