Testimony and Praise for Tennis Mastery

Senior Editor for the world's top-rated tennis instructional
web site;
Well, I totally loved it! I always wanted to learn how to hit with both hands off of both sides, and this is the first book that actually
shows you how to do it! When I implemented the 2 hand forehand and 2 hand backhand after about the 4th day of trying it out, I
kept getting comments like: "I want to learn how to hit that way!" "Where did you like to hit like that? (positive tone)" One of my
hitting partners say that he couldn't believe that I am already so good at the 2 hand backhand after only 2 weeks of learning it
from this book! This is about the most excited that I have been since "Winning Ugly". This is a very, very interesting and engaging
book! Smith has a very engaging writing style! I give an
A! I think that you will enjoy it! A well spent $24!

As a corporate member of the U.S.P.T.A, I attend many tennis instructional presentations. However,
never have I found a source of tennis instruction that combines superb information while at the same
time be a truly enjoyable read as TENNIS MASTERY is!

To be read again and again. A lot of clear indications to enhance tennis playing. I would really advise it to
anybody who is interested in a rational step forward.

Coaching Mastery - Ultimate Blueprint Customer feedback
Comments: As simply a tennis parent I was afraid the book wouldn't be a very good fit for me. Gave it a shot anyhow
and glad I did. From stroke development, to program development, to basic player development, it covers them all.
And if you think you don't need the "program development" piece like I thought I didn't, well, think again. Whether
you're looking to create a winning HS program or just incite a little more interest around your club or with local
juniors, Dave gives great, proven ideas. In fact, he made me think about a career in tennis organizing--something we
need desperately in my opinion. And if you're looking for some of Dave's unique coaching techniques, namely the 2-H
FH, it's in there, too (remember, Dave believes in the 1-H FH, too, but recommends for some that a 2-H may provide
a good initial foundation. It worked for my daughter and wife). Go get a copy...unless, of course, you're the parent of a
youngster in my kid's age division/region. You can skip it.

Comments:"I've been involved in tennis for 55 years, as competitive
player, coach and educator. In these years, I've built up a library of
tennis books and read them all. But I've no hesitation to say "Coaching
Mastery" is the most complete reference. Every tennis teacher and
coach worth his salt, should read "Coaching Mastery".

Comments: Great book! This book is
perfect for all players of all ages to
learn tennis the right way...and a
great tool for parents, pros and
coaches to use to define the best
progressions for their students. This
book is huge, like a college text
book, with a wealth of information.
Highly recommended.

Comments: I just received Coaching Mastery and I cannot put it down. I
have been coaching tennis for more than 20 years, and have tons of
books and videos, but this is the best by far.
