DORAN COMPANY PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA APR -I 1921 _ ©CLA611413 « To E. D. K AND M. W. J. MY "BUDDIES" W. T. T. n INTRODUCTION Tennis is at once an art and a science. The game as played by such men as Norman E. Brookes, the late Anthony Wilding, William M. Johnston, and R. N. Williams is art. Yet like all true art, it has its basis in scientific methods that must be learned and learned thoroughly for a foundation before the artistic structure of a great tennis game can be con- structed. Every player who helps to attain a high degree of efficiency should have a clearly defined method of development and adhere to it. He should be certain that it is based on sound principles and, once assured of that, follow it, even though his progress seems slow and discouraging. I began tennis wrong. My strokes were wrong and my viewpoint clouded. I had no early training such as many of our American boys have at the pres- ent time. No one told me the importance of the fundamentals of the game, such as keeping the eye on the ball or correct body position and footwork.

A defense official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the US Navy would expand its presence in the Mediterranean to four destroyers from three. Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel, en route to Asia, said Obama had asked the Pentagon for options on Syria, where an apparent chemical weapons attack that killed as many as 1,000 civilians has upped pressure on Washington to respond. “The Defense Department has responsibility to provide the president with options for all contingencies,” Hagel said. “And that requires posi- tioning our forces, positioning our assets, to be able to carry out different options - whatever options the presi- dent might choose.” He did not elaborate. The defense official, who was not authorized to speak publicly, said the USS Mahan, a destroyer armed with cruise missiles, had finished its deployment and was due to head back to its home base in Norfolk, Virginia.

  • The Continental Grip – Swiss Army Knife of Tennis
    Continental Grip – the Swiss Army knife of tennis This is the most universally used grip in tennis. In fact, Continental means all-around grip. It was once known as the Aussie grip because famous Australian players such as Rod Laver and Ken Rosewall employed this grip for all of their shots—groundstrokes, volleys, serves, & overheads. The continental grip is most notably used for the serve, overhead, and volley. Because of its extreme versatility, this grip is also used to execute the half-volley, chip, slice, lob, and defensive shots. Players, who become comfortable early in their development with the continental grip, develop and progress much more rapidly. Learning to play with the continental grip will give you the enormous advantage of never having to think about changing your grip when you are up at net, especially during a rapid-fire volley exchange (seen often in doubles). However, for many players, the Continental grip is too uncomfortable, because it does not place the hand and wrist squarely behind the impact with the ball, especially on the forehand side. The awkwardness is because most players are not taught to use this grip early in their development. I teach the continental grip first to my beginning students because it can be and is used on a variety of shots. In my experience, most beginners feel more comfortable using an eastern forehand grip (EFG) on the forehand volley, and an eastern backhand grip (EBG) for the backhand volley. The EFG puts more of the palm of your hand behind the racquet, and players falsely think it makes the wrist stronger at contact.

  • The Real Sport of Kings When Our Family Moved from Notting Hill Gate
    The Real Sport of Kings When our family moved from Notting Hill Gate to larger quarters on Brook Green I realized it was a ten-minute bike ride to The Queen’s Club. A mecca of lawn tennis, with grass courts, Queen’s was known for the Invitational that preceded Wimbledon. As a youth, spurred by my father whose passion was tennis, I played a lot, at times as many as eight hours a day. The game was so bound with Southampton’s lifestyle that even the houses, with their white- painted frames and green shutters, could seem a reverse echo of the grass courts on which we played. It is hard to imagine a Long Island village where we played only three months a year competing with Florida and California, but the town boasted a Wimbledon winner and several national champions. The two grandsons of Dwight Davis who had given the eponymous cup were daily opponents, and the Meadow Club Invitational (now the U.S. Amateur Championship) reigned as the longest continuing tournament on the grass court circuit. This tournament, which brought the great “bums,” as they were known, roaring in on their jalopies was the social high point of the Southampton summer, crowned by a dance and massive silver trophies that begged to be melted down. We put them up in our houses and the money I made ball-boying more than paid for all the presents I bought my parents. For much of my youth I aspired to that kind of athletic career. I wanted to travel to fabled venues: Wimbledon, Rome, Monte Carlo, Paris, Rapallo, Gstaad.

  • 1. Suggestions for Improving and Enjoying Squash
    Suggestions for improving and enjoying Squash. By Brigadier G.O.M. Jameson, CBE, MA (These suggestions are, of course, my own opinions. Others may differ.) First - the ball. I put this first because I think it is the most important point of all. Far too many people play always with a yellow spot - because it is used in the major championships and they think it is “the right thing to do”. In a cold court it isn’t. One should use the ball best suited to the court temperature - and in an English winter this is usually a blue or red spot, perhaps a white spot on a warm winter day, or in spring or autumn. It is impossible to play proper squash with a yellow spot in a court temperature in the 30s or 40s. The right speed ball is one which, when hit fair) hard, goes to a good length, i.e. its second bounce would be near the bottom of the back wall. Championships are played in heated courts; watch one of the matches on the T.V. and see how fast the ball is - it is often played after coming back off the back wall. Playing with a suitable speed ball is also more enjoyable; there isn’t much fun in rallies of two or three strokes, nor can one get warm. Service. There is no point in exhausting oneself with a very fast service - other than for an occasional surprise. Unlike tennis, it won’t score a winner against a good player. A highish soft service is the best.

  • NTRP: the National Tennis Rating Program
    NTRP: The National Tennis Rating Program NTRP The primary goal of the National Tennis Rating Program (NTRP) is to help all tennis players enjoy the game by providing a method of classifying skill levels for more compatible matches, group lessons, league play, tournaments and other programs. GUIDELINES: The rating categories are generalization about skill levels. You may find that you actually play above or below the category which best describes your skill level, depending on your competitive ability. The category you choose is not meant to be permanent, but may be adjusted as your skills change or as your match play demonstrates the need for reclassification. START HERE TO PLACE YOURSELF: A. Begin with 1.0. Read all categories carefully and then decide which one best describes. your present ability. B. Be certain that you qualify on all points of all preceding categories as well as those in the classification you choose. C. When Rating yourself assume you are playing against a player of the same gender and the same ability. D. If you are undecided between 2 NTRP levels, you should place yourself in the higher level of play. E. Ultimately your true NTRP Rating is based upon your match results, so use match play history against players who have an established NTRP ratings as a major indicator of your true NTRP level. NTRP Level 1.0 This player is just starting to play tennis. This player has limited playing experiences and is still working primarily on getting the ball over the net, has some knowledge of scoring but is not familiar with basic positions and procedures for singles and doubles play.
