Secret Game of Tennis, by Jack Broudy

harmony that is expressed outwardly by effortless, fluid strokes
and a passion for the game."

(in every sense of the word) groundstrokes. It is the motherform
for the entire game.
- Part

as it relates to the center of your body provides the proper
perspective for playing your best and most focused tennis at
all times.
