*Tips and 9 drills to help your players make the transition from the baseline to the net and master a variety of opponents' playing styles; and *singles and doubles strategies.
You'll also find information on application of grips to strokes, the principles behind high- percentage singles and doubles play, specific responsibilities of doubles players and doubles drills.
