Book Reviews of Visual Tennis-2nd
Book Review: Cheaper and better than a lesson!
Summary: 5 Stars
Having played competitive tennis for many years, having taught tennis, and having competed for many years in sanctioned USTA Open level events, this book is worth every penny. For many years my achilles heel was my forehand volley. No matter how many times I saw myself on video, how many volley lessons (at an average of $45 a lesson) I took, how much I competed in singles and doubles, how much tennis I saw, I could never hit a forehand volley with consistency, acuracy, and confidence. After visually seeing how to hit the volley and then practicing in front of a mirror as suggested in the book, I was able to hit a forehand volley RIGHT AWAY! With detailed visual cues to fall back on, I finally have a volley I can count on and keep. Amazing! This book is well worth having. Having taught tennis, I truly believe in the book's premise that we learn physical activities visually and not cognitively: our minds which can constantly criticize and judge our strokes can be our worst enemies on court (imagine trying to walk while TELLING yourself how to walk!); visual images are the best aids and this books provides great visuals.
