Momentum: The Hidden Force in Tennis

Watching a world class tennis match is an opportunity not to be missed. Whether you come to competition tennis from a top club or the park you can recognise Alistair Higham's momentum ideas in the swing of any match. Championship tennis is harnessed momentum at its best. If you want to improve your match play at whatever level - club matches, county matches, international tournaments, or simply with your friends, this book is a vital tool.

There are many excellent tennis books on where and how to hit your shots, how to focus your mind, and how to get physically fit for tennis matches. They mainly concentrate on improving your skills to improve your tennis - better strokes, better tactics, better concentration, better movement.

Unlike other tennis books, Momentum: The Hidden Force in Tennis is about the battle of competitive tennis matches - the ebbs and flows, the turning points, why momentum switches and how and when to use your skills to gain control. It is also an enjoyable read, both thought provoking and original.

Reading through the examples from the real matches Alistair has witnessed, I found myself thinking of many similar examples that I had experienced or witnessed throughout my career as a player and a coach.

If you are brushing up your skills or honing your matchplay then you need to measure the momentum too - Good Luck!
