For Beginners and self taught players who are looking to improve their game, Go Play Tennis is a must have for your tennis library. You will learn the basics of tennis from proper stretching to techniques with the added visual aid of a DVD. There are all kinds of learning types but the greatest teacher is repetition. With Go Play Tennis, you are able to read and watch the tennis fundamentals over and over again so that they will be ingrained in your mind for when you hit the court. I have found no other single training tool that has been so instrumental in improving my game.
The simple step by step break-down of shots allowed me to focus in on the specific faults in my technique. I learned everything from how to grip my racket when hitting the one-handed back-hand shots (top spin and the slice) to the precision required to hit a drop shot. I also learned a little bit of strategy along with some basic shot selection.
I had played tennis for several years without really improving. I would make adjustments that would help a little but with the simplicity of Go Play Tennis I have been able to drastically change my game for the better. One of the key components that helped me was the foot work. Having the proper foot work helped with all of my shots and it also helped me win more rallies by teaching me the correct steps for recovery.
Go Play Tennis is an easy read and at first glance you might think that there isn't much to it. It isn't wordy and complicated like many other instructionals, rather it has been kept simple just like the basics should be. If you are wanting to beat your friends out on the court next Summer you can't afford not to buy this book. The fundamentals of tennis that you will learn or at least be reminded of are sure to be of value. I am sure that you will enjoy it.
