Title: Mismatch
Review: I expected a dry, technical manual, so I'm not disappointed that it is. It may be very useful for a tennis instructor to show a point or diagram during a lesson, but without an in-person demonstration by someone that already knows the point being taught, the book is not helpful. The pictures are an integral part of this book, at least as important as the text. In a technical manual, illustrations ought to be painstakingly crystal clear, ideally a photograph and/or a clean, precise and anatomically correct drawing. What this book has instead are paintings that are almost impressionistic in nature, anatomically and positionally vague, rendering the overall work completely worthless as a self-study tool for tennis.
