Tennis Skills: The Player's Guide

Summary: Well, 3.5 if they had it....
Review: For 10 bucks, what do you expect? I guess I expected more! But for the price, it's a good book. A tad bit simplistic and sketchy on the shots, it has a lot of great drills (if you can hit the ball that great after the short instructions!) The pictures are good quality and they take the stills at just the right point--but they need more pics--and more on hitting the ball and more on footwork. There's a few good tips. Overall, I'd say if you're not too serious, this is the book for you! For me, it's on to the next one. -- an avid tennis enthusiast

Summary: Taught me new strokes from a book!
Review: 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.

Summary: GREAT BOOK TO IMPROVE YOUR TENNIS SKILLS !!
Review: 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.
