Breathtaking...
Fellow tennis professional and video
guru John Yandell is a nothing short of a genius at times.
(That's right, his forehand
groundie could use a little loosening up now and then, but his ATRP
stuff...)
I mean, the video footage John has
taken of some of the world's greatest players is so pure...
I'm not going to go and on about
the video quality of these DVDs because it is almost indescribable,
but if you want to see strokes, footwork, and the beauty of the
game, look no further than what John has produced.
The quality of the slo-mo video
with zero sound just takes your breath away.
I love the fact that there is no
audio, no sound, no nothing to distract or influence you as you
watch some of the world's all-time greats and current top
professionals hit their shots over and over from all sorts of
different camera angles.
It's amazing how easily we can be
influenced away from our true sense of visual input when someone
else talks or even if there is music.
I'd never realized how much more
open I am to observing and learning by watching video without audio.
Especially, these guys on John's DVDs.
I highly endorse and recommend
John's DVDs listed below.
BONUS: I am so
confident you will learn so much and get a ton of enjoyment from
John's DVDs, that if your order one or more of John's DVDs, not only
will I personally 100% guarantee your purchase satisfaction so that
your investment is totally without any risk, but I will also give
you any one (your choice) of my downloadable instructional lessons.

OK, how can "observing" improve
your tennis...?
It's simple and it's a powerful
learning method. This is not new stuff. Visualization
techniques have been around forever.
What I like to do with my own game
and with some of my students is to use John's DVDs to give us a
clear picture as to what we want a stroke to eventually look like in
our game.
We watch a specific shot or
sequence, then shut our eyes and visualize ourselves on the court
hitting that shot with the exact same "look"...
The first part is to visualize
yourself hitting the shot you want as if you're watching a video of
yourself.
The 2nd step is to then visualize
that shot as if you're actually performing it. You want to
feel that shot as if you're on the court playing it the same way you
observe someone like Sampras hitting that shot.
It's powerful, it's a faster way of
learning, and best of all, it flat out works...
OK, here's how to get your hands on
these DVDs so you can pop 'em in the DVD player, sit back, and just
enjoy. Somehow the quality slo-mo seems to make it look so
understandable. You'll love it...
