Below are just a few
of the many testimonials from TennisOne Members.


 

"I just wanted to say how much I've gotten from your insights over the years.

I've been a member of TennisOne for quite a while now – just wanted to say that you've had a big influence on my tennis skills.

I am a better player since joining TennisOne and I credit it to a lot of your articles, and also to articles of some of your other very fine instructor/writers.

The power of the internet, I guess, where you can have an incredible impact on someone's tennis game without ever even being on a court with them"

- Sam K
Recreational player

 


 

"Just to let you know I’ve told literally hundreds of people about your wonderful website. The lessons there in have brought my level from a 3.5 to strong 4.5 flirting with a 5.0.... I hope your site stays up and running forever."

- Rob G
Recreational Player

 


 

"I really like your article on learning to wait, and Tom Stow's drill. After doing the drill at home, I took it to the tennis court today. I could never imagine I could add that much pace off my forehand and backhand. It just seemed so easy.

Thanks!"

- Stella H
Recreational Player

 


"This tip is very valuable to improve on forehands and backhands ground strokes.

I read the article and watched the slow motion video, practiced on court and I started winning game against players I used to lose.

I can't believe how good it makes me feel to see my backhand shot so well improved with your tip. I would like to thank you for providing such valuable tips which has tremendously improved my game."

- Indra T
Recreational Player

 


 

"Your web site has been fantastic for me. I have been coaching tennis for five years and the articles are so helpful.

They enable me to be so much more knowledgeable about the game and how to achieve optimum results."

- Jane J
Recreational Player

 


 

"The total analysis and accompanying pictures was an easily understood analytical explanation of how to serve.

This was one of the best articles on the elements of a serve I've read anywhere!!!!!"

- Robert H
Recreational Player

 


 

"This is such a fabulous article, and such great food for thought.

You continue to be an inspiration not just for the player, but for coaches as well."

- Oscar W
Teaching Pro



 

"I absolutely love your site and I recommend it to all my friends.

As a tennis pro who studies the game, I find that your site helps me greatly to be a better teacher. So it benefits both me and my students."

- Jim
Teaching Pro

 


 

"Great article....Your article on "waiting" was also excellent. I shared with a couple of parents of children I teach here in SE Idaho who needed to "hear" it from someone else the concepts I've been helping their children learn.

Great stuff.

Love reading your Tom Stow stories. Makes me laugh & smile and think about my time with him and with Stefanki in the late 60s and early 70s with Tom and 80s. Keep up the good work!"

- Duquel K
Teaching Pro

 


 

"Absolutely, excellent article. Please compliment Mr. Drucker on a job well done.

He would have had my vote to take the lead in bringing American Tennis back to a leading position within the world sphere rather than Patrick McEnroe. No disrespect to Mr McEnroe of course."

- Damon D
Recreational player

 


 

"Wow–thanks for a great article. As a junior (like Mac, I'm a little oldernow) I worshipped the game of McEnroe and borrowed as much as I could from his attacking style.

I have fond memories of waking up at 6am for breakfast at Wimbledon, watching the epic battles between Borg and McEnroe.

I also developed my doubles game and to this day greatly enjoy the nuances that it brings to the game of tennis. Keep up the great work."

- Richard C,
Recreation player

 


 

"This is a excellent article in it is about tennis and how it should be played by a complete player.

And John (McEnroe) is very much a complete all court player. As a life long tennis fan and player I have always admired John as a player but not necessary as a person.

But that is all in the past, however John's game has inspired me over the years if I may be allowed to say so the concept of attacking all second serves and short balls and using slice as a neutralizer and to change the pace is part of his game I copied way back in the seventies.

It did improve my over all tennis game and now as a retired 65 year old doubles player who over the last two years has been a member of the winning team of the gate way league champions men's seniors."

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I am a very ambitious ...player who can't afford a lot of lessons, so I look to you guys for guidance. I appreciate and absolutely love tennisone.

I am a huge believer in footwork, and was just restudying your "Stepping in to Every Ball" article, and then came along this one! I'll watch the embedded videos with the script, and see if I can make sense of it.....

Once again, thanks so much for the prompt response and the extremely useful articles!

"I really like this benefit [TennisOne membership] and use it a lot. I know it helps me be a better tennis teacher in so many ways.

You can also let the TennisOne folks know that I recommend this site to many of my friends, so maybe I've helped increase their membership, as well."

–Jim F

“Geez, how am I supposed to get any work done?

I just spent an hour and a half going over every little nuance of your thoughts on preparing early or waiting and the other articles in the newsletter.

Your article perfectly summed up my experience of the frustration I've felt over the years at playing pushers, slicer-dicers, moon ballers, etc...I'm really enjoying and getting a lot out of both yours, and all the articles on TennisOne. I continue to tell people about your excellent website."

– William D
Recreational player

 

I coach boys' tennis in NY. I just want to say that every time I get a valuable article like yours (singles strategy--Reconsider the Paradigm), I duplicate it and give it to my kids--usually followed by the words, "Just so you don't think I'm making this stuff up."

- Al L
Teaching Pro

 

I thoroughly enjoyed the latest article ....He touched on one of the biggest oversights in the game today: establishing rhythm!

All too often, as good players, we tennis pros forget the natural timing mechanisms we employ to hit balls. Some of us are so good, we may not evenknow we use them! (The truly gifted thinks its just natural hand-eye coordination & feel.)

Having worked w/ & developed several top national juniors and Ladies & Mensteams as well as, I know it is as beneficial at the pro level (albeit for different reasons) as it is for recreational players.

Thank you again for the validation as well as the insight on one of the often over-looked parts of the game!
