Product Description
Tennis Beyond Big Shots presents a bold back-to-the-future approach. A new game that moves away from power and big shots yet is more lethal to opponents than any booming serve. Greg Moran shows players of all ages and abilities that, with simple and small changes, you can not only maximize your tennis wins and play longer, but also have much more fun doing it. A book for every tennis enthusiast! Chris Evert says "Greg's Tennis Beyond Big Shots is a must for every players library." "This could be a blueprint for my game" opines world No.1 tennis player Mats Wilander. Cliff Drysdale, ESPN Television: "You can win more matches simply by making small changes, Greg shows you how"

 Few gems, mostly routine stuff January 18, 2007
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
I was disappointed in the number of really good different tennis tips. There were only a few gems in the whole book. Most of the tennis "tips" were routine.
 An Easy Read to Better Tennis December 4, 2006
11 out of 11 found this review helpful
I love the game and have read many books on the subject. This one excels at giving tangible advice on everything "just folks" need to play and enjoy the game. Tips from strategy to etiquette are clearly explained, easy to remember, and make a difference. Greg is an advocate of playing percentage tennis (knowing when and where to hit your shot, and the smart uses of power and spin). Having followed his advice, I've seen my game advance and I'm comfortable on the court with all levels of players.

Win matches and friends with this perceptive book October 5, 2006
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
"Tennis Beyond Big Shots" provides plenty of topnotch instruction about strokes and strategy that will help you win matches. This 224-page paperback, spiced with pithy quotes, also gives readers superb suggestions about how to win friends and enjoy your tennis, regardless of the outcome.
Its "10 Commandments of Social Tennis" chapter should be posted at every tennis club and center. Especially important is author Greg Moran's commandent to accept your mistakes graciously. "No matter how badly you may be playing or losing, keep a positive attitude and your excuses to yourself. No one's interested, and you'll only sound foolish," he advises.
My other favorite chapters are "Two Shots That Deserve Respect," "Conquering Our Inner Devil," "Three Secrets To Defeat Stinky Feet" (about footwork), and "Being The Best Tennis Parent Ever."
Recreational players, teaching pros and coaches, aspiring juniors, and tennis parents will benefit considerably from studying this well-written and well-analyzed book that covers both the basics and the fine points of tennis.
