Customer Reviews

Excellent Resource for the Technique

One of the best on technique written by top German (Deustcher Tennis Bund) authorities. There are multiple action-photo sequences for most techniques and illustrations of errors and what to do. Few books come close to its clarity or thoroughness in covering tactics. It is a bit dry (as with other German tennis books) but that doesn't take away from the usefulness of this tome as a reference. The tactical section leaves much to be desired however, since it discusses mostly technique but doesn't address how the two really come together. Two-thirds or more of the book is devoted to technique. The tactical section is quite applicable although basic.

ACE

Besides Dick Gould's classic book on tennis instruction. This is one of the best modern books on modern tennis techniques and tactics that I have come across. I was looking for a book on tennis instruction for a friend and came across this gem. Easy to follow with many illustrations and some pictures and loads of good sound tennis advice. This book serves up an ACE!
