The Little Black Book of Tells - Master Tennis Anticipation, Strategy & Tactics with 52 Tells and Video Access - Learn Essential Tips and Insights on Ball Prediction for Poaching, Alley & Lob Coverage
About this item
- 52 TELLS - A “tell” is something your opponent does that tips you off about where they’re about to hit (like how a poker tell tips you off about what cards your opponent has). When you add the ability to “read” tells into your strategy and tactics, that’s when you’ll take your tennis game to the next level, because when you can predict where the ball is going to cross the net, then you’ll know when to poach, cover the alley, or cover the lob.
- 52 VIDEOS - This book is for doubles players who want to win more tennis matches by improving their strategy and tactics. On each page there is a QR code you can scan with your phone that will take you to a quick video explanation (there’s no fluff, just what’s essential) of what the tell is and what to do when you see it.
- ADAPTED FOR ALL LEVELS OF PLAY - We partnered with some of the greatest players of all time, including Martina Navratilova, the Bryan Brothers, and Gigi Fernandez, to have them coach you in this tennis book. These are the exact same 52 tells they used to win match after match and tournament after tournament, but we’ve adapted them so you can use them no matter your skill level.
- BONUSES - The professional tennis insights don’t stop with the book, because we’ve got two awesome bonuses from Bob & Mike Bryan: 1) “The 7 Net Moves,” and 2) “The 6 Passing Shots.” It’s essential you master how to move at the net, and how to pass your opponents when they take the net, if you want to have more success in doubles.
