- NEW Instructional Product from Brent: 

The Forehand Volley Lesson Package (CD and Webpage access)

This is a video lesson that I have produced that consists of two instructional and evaluation video clips. 

The first clip is a detailed explanation of the stroke mechanics of the forehand volley where you'll learn...

  • The exact position for your hands in the "Ready" position
  • How the racket head position in the "Ready" position fixes a ton of volley errors.
  • The proper setup position for the racket (yes, the racket does get prepped slightly 'back')
  • The grip
  • The exact contact point and precisely how the racket angle imparts natural underspin...
  • The finish position (which is darn near the contact position)

The second clip is of Stefan Edberg where I do a video/audio evaluation of primarily his footwork on the forehand volley. 

This is a natural follow-up to the first clip where you'll see Stefan demonstrate the exact easy to learn stroke mechanics that you saw in the first video clip PLUS I'll detail for you Stefan's incredibly efficient footwork.

What you're going to learn about the forehand volley is that a truly good forehand volley is actually much less of an emphasis on pure stroke mechanics but much more of a skill of how to move through this shot to your next position. 

Very interesting stuff, easy to learn, and a whole new world will open up to you as to what the purpose is of your forehand volley...

- eBay:  If you're looking for quote unquote "good deals" on tennis equipment, I mean all the hottest tennis stuff going, new, then you must check out what's happening at eBay.

I am at times shocked at the incredible deals on tennis equipment that are at eBay day in and day out.  Heck, I now do most of my office supplies shopping there at eBay and I know I'll start doing more and more shopping there in the near future...

eBay is a secure and safe shopping experience.  If you've never been to eBay or bought anything there, no worries, every seller and buyer at eBay carries around their personal "Feedback" rating and comments.

The eBay "Feedback" is genius.  When you buy and/or sell something at eBay, the other party gives you "Feedback" as to how you performed your end of the deal. 

As a seller, did you deliver the product on time, was the exact product delivered to the buyer that was advertised, were there any problems with returns, etc., and as the buyer, did you pay in a reasonable amount of time.

And your Feedback" comments are available for the entire world to read, so if someone is out there ripping people off, then the ripper's eBay Feedback will doom them forever...!  Bottom line, it works...

So, if you're in the market for new tennis equipment, you must get with the program over at eBay.  Absolutely stunning prices...

New brand name equipment available through either winning an auction or their "Buy It Now" feature where you don't have to wait around to try win an auction.  Many of the "Buy It Now" equipment prices are slightly above wholesale.

It's nuts, but the prices are real and you can save significant dollars by shopping for your tennis needs at eBay.

I've set up a webpage where you can quickly see the current auction and Buy It Now listings for your favorite categories...

  • Shoes
