Brace Method for Tennis
by
Book Cover & Preview Text
Throughout the years that I have taught and played tennis, I have enjoyed watching improvements in not only my game, but also that of my students and friends. There is a measure of frustration, though, in trying to change strokes for the better. Mere words are often useless and instruction sometimes confusing. Often I found myself taking students by the hand and making them feel the proper swing. But when I took my hand away, the old habit usually returned. If only a helping hand could always be present, guiding the person.
One night, in 1979, while practicing my tennis form in the mirror,(doesn't everyone?) I discovered that helping hand to be what is now the 'BRACE,' an ever-present teacher, taking you by the hand. But he is silent. He is instructing your body, your elbows, your shoulders, improving their muscle memory, which is so important. Even the grass roots tennis player is very knowledgeable about stroke production and even inner tennis. This is 'outer tennis.'
