Most coaches, past or present, will say the left hand does more in the stroke for a right-handed player and vice versa. If you ask Agassi he'll say his right hand does more. There are interviews where Nalbandian and Djokovic say similar things. What say you?

If you watch basketball in the 50s/60s many players are dribbling and shooting with their dominant hand. Players now are more ambidextrous. Why hasn't tennis gone through this evolution? Is there too much interference by coaches and tradition in the game to cultivate something different?

500 Hardbacks, highest quality paper and cover to ensure preservation for collectors, numbered 1 - 500 individually. Numbers 1 thru 10 are reserved to raise money for charity or for tennis institutions so I took #500. It has nearly 200,000 words which explains why so many who previewed it call it an encyclopedia. This was a group effort; I spoke with over 1000 coaches over the 18 years of research, and reviews are better than I dared hope for. First come first serve if you want a specific number and free shipping if purchased in US by Jan 20th. Chuck Tomlin wrote two chapters, our eminent Tennis Historian Richard Hillway wrote a 45 page article, lots of lost tennis history that proved today's players follow concepts known and taught a century ago only today they do it with more amplitude and intensity. The buggy whip forehand used by Nadal was taught in a 1904 book better than today's "experts" IMHO. The lost black tennis history revealed and why the first modern tennis coach may have been the first woman to graduate from Yale and Harvard are telling in how history has much to teach us. $75 stateside shipping free thru Jan 20). The blank page at the front of the book is in case you want it signed by myself and/or Chuck Tomlin, and we will customize the signatures per your request, or you may leave it blank.
