Tennis Tactics: Winning Patterns of Play

Rating:
Summary: Great book for coaches.
Review: This book divides players into four playing styles based on a paragraph description of each. Then, it has a chart showing which patterns and drills in the book each style should focus on to improve their play. There are two chapters each on Serves, Returns, Midcourt, and Volleying. The first chapter describes the patterns of play and the second has drills to improve on the patterns.

This is focused on singles instruction and is a great drill and skills book for a coach. Most all of the drills are for multiple player training.

If you're looking for a book to give you drills to improve your tennis team, its a great buy. If you're looking for a book about strategy, what to do, and why, then this is not the book for you.
