The Ultimate Tennis Book

This book is one of many tennis books I have read over the years but, it is truly the only book I was ever able to finish. Many of the other books were not only boring but, often the mechanics, theories and strategies were confusing.The beauty of this book is that it allows for individual styles. Many times we are taught or forced to copy an individual stroke or strategy but, tennis is a game not a mathematical problem.I found myself being able to relate and felt as if the "old school tennis" chains were released. Burwash allows the freedom to be an individual player with their own flare. Thank goodness!

Excellent tennis book

I took the advice of the previous reviewer, and decided to order the book from the number on the web site. Sure enough, the people at Peter Burwash International were eager to help, and I received the book soon after calling.In short, the book was excellent. Every area/stroke of the game was covered with simple yet effective information, including such topics as understanding the game, how to gut out a match, how to play on clay, and even how to beat left-handers. I have played tennis most of my life, and even taught the game on occasion, and I have never come across a book as useful as this one. No matter what level you are as a player or coach, this book will raise your level immediately.Tennis for Life will be a very strong addition to anyone's tennis book collection.

Closest thing to a tennis bible that I've read...

It isn't out of print. You can get it at www.pbitennis.com. What's nice about this one is that it is simple enough for beginners and non-analytical types to get what they need to know without being overwhelmed by detail, and deep enough that advanced players can get new information (especially on tactics) and prioritize what they already know. Check it out if you can.

SIMPLICITY IS THE KEY

This book really hits the strings in the sweet spot! The book's premise, that tennis is a game of emergencies, and that being your own coach is the best way to improve and excel, is a great example of how to get to the next level without the aid of thousands of dollars of lessons exclaiming "racket back, turn sideways, move your feet, and watch the ball." Burwash dispels the myths, and elaborates on the 3 fundamentals, the 5 dimensions, and such interesting and practical concepts as triple vision, the second bounce theory, and other very "hands on" advice from one who has been there. Highly recommended for all levels, and for aspiring or veteran coaches looking to get their students "unstuck" and on their way to the next level.
