The digital age has hit the tennis court. Games like Top Spin use
lifelike animation and innovative hand controls to provide gamers
with a realistic simulation game against real-life pros.
Racquet-mounted sensors measure and track shots and impact speeds
and provide analysis. But a player still has to know how to play
the game, how to plan the next move and be able to anticipate an
opponent's likely return, all in an instant. A player has to build
a winning strategy, play the full court and outsmart an opponent.
All the sensors in the world can't do that. Enter Tennis Skills, an
in-depth guide to improving a player's game. It features a battery
of lessons designed by tennis professionals that lays down a solid
foundation of stroke skills and game strategy. Clear instructions
and annotated diagrams provide valuable coaching and corrective
techniques - a great value for any player. It's like having a
personal tennis pro on call for expert coaching. The book is fully
illustrated with sequential pictures, court diagrams, tips, typical
faults and coaching ideas which can help to build strong foundation
skills and great players. Tom Sadzeck provides an abundance of
visual features to help players of all levels improve their game
and build on existing skills. Six chapters cover the game's key
skill sets, from basic techniques to singles and doubles
strategies. There are more than 40 drills that focus on the target
areas of form, strategy, coordination and footwork. Other coaching
content include: Stroke-production exercises; Forehand, backhand,
serve, volley, slice and other shots; A breakdown of each stroke to
promote consistent form; Warm-up, grips, body position, footwork,
targeting, follow-through; Court diagrams to help players visualize
a stroke's outcome; How to handle game pressure. Tennis Skills also
features Master Stroke sidebars that give easy-to remember tips,
Fault Finder boxes that point out common mistakes and Coach's
Comments that share the wisdom of seasoned pros. Whether the reader
is new to the sport or a more experienced player who wants to
improve his or her game and try new drills, Tennis Skills is a
practical book to have in the equipment bag or locker.
