Customer Reviews

Great Book

I am a beginner at the sport and this book offers great insight and instruction on each aspect of the game.

Good entry level book

This book does a good job teaching the fundamentals and my game has improved since reading it. My only gripe is that I would have liked to have seen more diagrams in the book (particularly the chapters on serves and returns) rather than photos of players, in the book. Overall, good book for the money.
