5.0 out of 5 stars Great for beginners!, May 8, 2004
Sports exercises and games can be difficult to explain, but Matsuzaki does an excellent job of describing tennis exercises. Her writing style is clear and straightforward. Matsuzaki has given me an arsenal of fun and skill-building tennis activities. My personal favorite: The Pick Line Game (p. 81).
