The mysteries behind the winning strokes, equipment, and surfaces of the game of tennis are accessibly explained by Howard Brody through the laws of physics.

Through extensive laboratory testing and computer modeling, Brody has investigated the physics behind the shape of the tennis racket, the string pattern, the bounce of the tennis ball, the ways a particular court surface can determine the speed of the game, and the many other physical factors involved in tennis.

How frustrating is it not to be able to consistently replicate a reliable tennis stroke? Over the years, I've had countless discouraged students tell me that, at their age or skill level, it was probably too late to improve their game very much. But after learning modern tennis techniques, I've also seen the smiles on those same faces that come with the realization that, perhaps for the first time in their lives, they are stroking the ball with consistency and purpose. I wrote this book, 21st Century Tennis, because I quickly became disenchanted with the conventional methods of teaching tennis. Things that well-meaning coaches told me to do felt mechanical and unnatural. I could not replicate the effortless strokes that the pros displayed with ease. Fortunately, I have discovered that tennis is much easier to learn and play when you have the same knowledge as elite, world-class players. Read this book and you will learn: - How to stroke the tennis ball consistently with more pace, more depth and less effort. - A foolproof method to make your timing more consistent and your shots stay in the court. - Seven simple adjustments that will transform the way you approach your main shots; why certain things you do don't work and what to do about it. - How to serve effectively without having to kill the ball. - Tips and drills to speed the process of adjusting to stroking the ball with the same mechanics as all of today's top tennis players. Don't believe anyone who tells you that modern tennis techniques are too difficult for the average player. From beginner to tournament player, you can learn to play with ease, efficiency, and natural athleticism, and I will show you how.

The essential book from online tennis coaching sensation Ian Westermann, founder of EssentialTennis.com What’s the number one thing stopping you from playing your best tennis? Ian Westermann, founder of the world’s #1 online tennis instruction portal, Essentialtennis.com, will confidently say it’s an obstacle you probably never thought of: The ball. You might think this sounds ridiculous. The whole point of tennis is to hit the ball over the net and in, so how can the ball be the thing that’s standing in the way? In fact, this is why the ball is such an impediment: your desire to hit a good shot, with the right mix of power and spin, to a specific spot on the court, prevents you from striking the ball the way you should. In Essential Tennis, readers – players and coaches, alike – will learn how improving at tennis actually happens and how to easily implement these lessons and integrate them into better play on the court. Players will hit stronger shots, make fewer errors, and beat players who are currently beating them. Coaches will look differently at what it means to provide a student with a holistic learning experience. Essential Tennis contains technique-based instruction for executing groundstrokes, volleys, and serves, as well as progressions, drills, and mindsets players should incorporate. Westermann illuminates strokes, movement, strategy, and mental toughness – all proven to be successful over 20 years with clients of all ages and skill levels.
