George' Review

What An Awsome book! Specialized for beginners to intermediates, or for anyone wanting work on different stroke techniques. Awsome tennis book

Taught me new strokes from a book!

My coach said "nice backhand slice". I said I got it from a book. I learned a sweet and powerful one-handed backhand from this book, also, and today a tennis friend asked where I learned that stroke since I have hit two-handed for years. This book is modern and it's easy to take what you read to the court to practice.

GREAT BOOK TO IMPROVE YOUR TENNIS SKILLS !!

This book is a great aid in helping your tennis level go up fast. I browsed through 10 tennis books before finding this one and believe me, this was by far the most helpful one for me!! This book is based on visual learning. All of the techniques, drills and excercises are photographed, lending you an easy visual reference for the do's and dont's of the game. The book is divided in six chapters covering the different skills needed to improve all the aspects of your game. From the basic techniques (forehand, backhand, serving, volleys, slices, etc.) to singles' and doubles' drills to work on your footwork, targeting, strategy and pressure-handling. It is a GREAT book for begginers and recreational players. More seasoned players can still get several good tips and strategies to improve their game by going back-to-the-basics. I fully recommend this book. If you are thinking about buying a book to help you improve your tennis skills and take you to the next level, this is it!! You will thank Tom Sadzeck for helping you improve your gameplay.
