“A wonderfully direct and efficient way to teach the game.”
- David R. Fish, Head Coach of Tennis, Harvard University
“Extremely useful in all my programs both on and off the court. For those interested in analyzing and improving their tennis, it helps turn failure into success, and losing into winning!!”
- Ron Holmberg, Wimbledon Record Holder
“It’s the best and most comprehensive tennis instruction book I’ve seen.”
- Austin Olney, Senior Vice-President, Houghton Mifflin
“There’s literally nothing like it on the market. Most tennis books are very style conscious, concerned with what’s ‘in’ this year. Victor’s book is a down-to-earth, readable handbook that, in principle, could last forever.”
- Jacqueline Hartt, Ph.D., Editor, Oxford University Press
“It’s a very unusual, well conceived book. It’s not aimed at the champion but at the man on the street. Vic simply shows the average player how to get better at the game.”
- Edward Serues, Amherst College Tennis Coach
“It’s a great book suitable for players at all levels.”
- Victor Stone, Central Connecticut University Tennis Coach
“Great writing, super illustrations.”
- Edward T. Reid, Bowdoin College Tennis Coach
“I have never enjoyed tennis as much as I have since I read this book. It tells you exactly what you need to work on to develop a set of reliable, accurate, and powerful strokes. With Victor Tantalo’s advice in the back of my mind, I feel I improve every time I play.”
- David Layzer, Ph.D. Professor of Astrophysics, (Ret.) Harvard University
“This book has been a valuable aid to all my students in intermediate and advanced tennis classes. Victor's knowledge of the game of tennis put in textbook form is a must for all college tennis instructors!”
- Butch Newman, Director of Tennis, Trinity University, San Antonio, Texas

A Few Pages from the Book:
TIP 1. An illusion that exists among many tennis players is that they are playing the ball more in front of themselves than usual when serving, volleying, or moving in to hit a ball that lands short in their court. That is not true. When players move into the ball, they take it sooner, but not more in front of themselves. Good players try to place their body in exactly the same relationship to the ball on every shot before they hit.
TIP 2. Hit the outside part of the ball whenever you're near a sideline. This will keep the shot from going out the sideline because the trajectory will be into the court.
TIP 3. Hit from a blind position. Hit every ball you can from a closed stance. (Turn your body to the side with your shoulder down the line.) From this stance, you can hit down the line or cross-court. By standing this way, you are in a blind position and your opponent will find it more difficult to read where you will hit in either direction.
TIP 4. Program yourself to return serve.
Take advantage of the stop in play before each serve to program yourself to return serve. Once the serve is hit, there's very little time to decide where and how to return serve. You should think about it before the serve is hit. The first thing to do is to visualize the various places in the service court the serve may be hit. The serve can be hit to any of these places or anywhere in between. Thoroughly program yourself with where you are going to aim your return depending on where the ball lands in the service court.

TIP 5. Whatever else you fail to do, don't forget to hold your aimpoint until you have completed the return! Remember: Your stroke will collapse the moment you drop the aimpoint from your mind.
