Book Reviews of Technical Tennis: Racquets, Strings, Balls, Courts, Spin, and Bounce (Strings)
Book Review: Great low-tech intro
Summary: 4 Stars
Despite the title, there are no equations and the technical details are all descriptive, but there's lots of useful information. A great first book to read on technical aspects of tennis. If the title suggests you will find hard numbers and research-level information here, you might be disappointed. Otherwise it's really a great book with lots of practical physics- and engineering-based
good advice on everything from racquets and balls to shots and serves, delivered at an almost non-technical level: think physics for poets!
