Product Description:
In acquiring and mastering sports skills, a picture is often worth a thousand words. Research shows most athletes learn skills better through visual demonstration than through verbal instruction. If you’re a visual learner, Visual Tennis may be the most natural and effective way to improve your game.
As former tennis great John McEnroe—who used Visual Tennis techniques to correct his serve during his pro career—explains it, "This book teaches the way players actually learn." The classical photo sequences combine with simple checkpoints to show exactly how to execute the game’s core technical elements, from the forehand through the serve.
Visual Tennis provides more than 200 photographs—including many of top stars like Pete Sampras, Martina Hingis, Andre Agassi, and Steffi Graf. Leading teaching pro John Yandell shares his proven method, which has helped thousands of players realize their potential and raise their game to new levels.

I think putting emphasis on the visual basis of learning is a valuable instructional technique. As the author notes, watching good tennis players raises the level of our own game automatically. However, still photos can benefit from moving pictures. What we can take away from a visual approach to learning is not only a visual picture but a kinesthetic one--how it "feels." In this regard, I think that moving pictures would be an excellent addition to this book and, hopefully, a future edition ... Read More

This book is correct about learning by using visual images. For the last 8 years, I've been playing tennis using Yandell's images. But the only problem with this style is that it's not very good for competitive tennis. The forehand stroke that resulted from this book are more flat than topspin. The backhand stroke are also relatively flat. In competitive play, especially against modern players, these strokes are not suitable because of the tremendous topspin that they put on the ball. The strokes ... Read More

I am very dissappointed after receiving this book.
This book teached only classical style(ex. only eastern
forehand grip)
If you want to play tennis just for fun, then buy this book.
BUT if you want to play well , forget this book, get lessons
from a modern tennis teaching pro.

John Yandell has pioneered a new, and shockingly simple, way of first understanding how tennis shots are actually hit, and second how to teach this complex information in the most effective way possible to students.
To answer the first question, I will quote John:
"Of the thousands of words coaches and teaching pros have used to describe tennis strokes in lessons, articles, videos, etc., no single element is more neglected and misunderstood than the role and position of the ... Read More

Having played competitive tennis for many years, having taught tennis, and having competed for many years in sanctioned USTA Open level events, this book is worth every penny. For many years my achilles heel was my forehand volley. No matter how many times I saw myself on video, how many volley lessons (at an average of $45 a lesson) I took, how much I competed in singles and doubles, how much tennis I saw, I could never hit a forehand volley with consistency, acuracy, and confidence. After ... Read More
