See and Play Tennis - with Adrian Stonebridge

Adrian Stonebridge, founder and principal of the former Stonebridge Tennis Academy, was a tennis teaching professional for nearly forty years. He developed a unique and revolutionary tennis formula which works at all levels of play, and featured in his own TV series, Tennis That Counts.

Now for the first time the Stonebridge method is available as a video download. Whether you are a beginner, club standard, or an already established player, this course gives you a great opportunity to improve your tennis. First you must learn how to practice! The whole of Adrian's teaching is based on the rally, because the rally is the lifeline of the game. The longer you can rally in a controlled way with your practice partner, the more you will be able to concentrate and improve on every part of your game.

Adrian takes us through ten fundamental aspects of the game of lawn tennis:

1. CONCENTRATION - Identify the moments of action and reaction, and build up your first thousand ball rally!
2. FOOTWORK - The secret of movement and court control
3. HANDS - Tennis is played with two hands
4. RACKET WORK - Using 'The Loop' to control momentum and direction
5. SPIN - How to give it and how to receive it
6. THE SERVICE - And the return of serve - most important strokes in the game
7. THE VOLLEY - Coming in to the net and setting your winners
8. THE LOB - Turn your opponents winners into losers!
9. THE SMASH - Beat that killer lob
10. LINKAGE - From theory to practice. From service to winner.
