Description
This book shares my personal knowledge of tennis. I am an amateur player. I started late, at age of fifty-four. Sometimes I win, sometimes I lose, but I always understand the game. It was impossible without knowledge.
Years ago my frustration in skiing came to an end due to a picture in the book The Anatomy of Skiing by R.J. Sanders, MD, that compared skiing to bicycle riding. It was all I needed for skiing technique to become natural to me and to become an advanced skier in a matter of days.
The necessity to find the “bicycle†of tennis to really start playing was obvious to me. My background made it possible. Actually, it was two “bicyclesâ€: two elements that constitute a powerful tennis stroke. Once found, my game changed from end to end. Implementing these two elements in a stroke and practicing them, rather than chasing a ball, became a major part of my training. Hitting the ball became a result of a well-designed tennis stroke.
Identifying and understanding elements of a tennis stroke required knowledge in physics.
Sharing this knowledge in a simple language is all this book is about: illustration of two elements that constitute every powerful tennis stroke and then presenting the forehand, backhand and service as a combination of these two.
