Product Description

Review
"Oscar is a great coach. In a few days he helped me regain my strokes and my feel for the ball."-Bjorn Borg, 5 time Wimbledon Champion, 6 time French Open Champion."

Product Description

Can tennis really be this simple?

Just ask the dozens of world-class players who have made it to the top using Oscar Wegner’s groundbreaking approach. But if playing tennis isn’t so easy for you, if you never seem to play up to your potential, don’t blame yourself—blame the coach who taught you a lot of uselessly complex techniques. Play Better Tennis in 2 Hours is your guide to tennis as the pros play it—more intuitive, more fluid, and more fun. World-renowned tennis coach and ESPN commentator Oscar Wegner shows you how to focus your efforts on one thing—hitting the ball correctly. Your own natural athleticism will take care of everything else.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book changed my game beyond belief!, 13 Jul 2005
I just wanted to let people know that along with 'Winning Ugly' by Brad Gilbert which is a great book for the mental side of tennis, this book has to be one of the best Tennis books ever written.

Unlike Winning Ugly, this book is more focused on the technique of play rather than the mental and tactical game, and WOW does this book improve your game quickly.

I was a little dubious about whether my game could be improved in just 2 hours as suggested by the title of the book, but how wrong I was.

The techniques in this book throw a lot of conventional tennis coaching out of the window and instead focus on the way the pro's play and why they do what they do. Your stroke and body movement will improve quickly and if you are anything like me then within just a couple of days I was hitting more consistently and with more power than I have ever done previously, in fact just days after reading the book I played probably my most controlled game ever in an inter-club league match.

This book doesn't just come up with unfounded new ideas, but instead explains why you should play the way it suggests and then demonstrates how the top pro's already do what the book suggests, and best of all at the time of writing, this book isn't one written years ago and talking about old techniques but is based around the current game and talks about such greats as Federer, Safin, Roddick and Agassi.

If you never buy another Tennis Book then do yourself a huge favour and get this one because you won't regret it, loads of photos and written in a very easy to read style, oh yes and if you ever wondered why Tennis is scored in such a strange way (i.e 15,30,40, deuce, advantage etc.) then its worth buying the book just for the explanation, it seems so obvious once you know!

Enjoy...

2.0 out of 5 stars Good for Beginners, 18 Nov 2006
By Darren (London, UK) - See all my reviews
This book is aimed at beginners. Using a different style of teaching from traditional methods, this book would be an enlightening read for many new players to the game of tennis.

Intermediate to advanced players, however, will end up flicking through most of the book looking for the advanced sections. While the book has some 'play like the pros' sections, they are few and far between and utimately, it's not worth the asking price.

Revolutionary ideas that will wreck your game (initially) if you follow them!

Bear with them the drils and practices do work.

Thoughtprovoking~ beyond tennis.

Easy to read and worth sticking with.
