[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-01-28 Summary: Winning Ugly. ... Great book. Lots of useful tips to make your tennis game better. Entertaining as well, since the book is peppered with personal anecdotes to illustrate his point. The only thing is that I was not following tennis during his professional career, so I only know the players of his era superficially. ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-11-02 Summary: Love this book! ... [I'm an intermediate/avid tennis player.] This is a GREAT book. Gilbert is very matter-of-fact about how he was not a #1 player, but how by utilizing little tricks/techniques in both summing up his opponents and in being realistic about his own strengths/weaknesses -- he was able to make his own mark on the world of professional tennis. He does have specific examples of his matches with some of the greats, which are interesting to read -- but they're not so much used as "the story of Gilbert" -- but more as references ...more
[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-10-01 Summary: A VERY FUN, USEFUL READ ... This is a fun book written in a very laid back style. It inspired me to track down a Sampras vs. Gilbert match so I could view his style of play. He definitely practiced most of what he preaches in this book. I've also read "I've Got Your Back" and the books have merged in to one in my mind though this one is clearly better. The best part of this book is the strategy section. He covers facing most styles of play including serve & volleyers, pushers, baseliners, and lefties. He's refreshingly direct and honest. He stresses ...more
Editorial Reviews — ... Product Description | He's been called the best in the world at the mental game of tennis. Brad Gilbert's strokes may not be pretty, but looks aren't everything. He has beaten the Tour's biggest names -- all by playing his "ugly" game. Now, in Winning Ugly Gilbert teaches recreational players how to win more often without necessarily even changing their strokes. The key to success, he says, is to become a better thinking player -- to recognize, analyze, and capitalize. That means outthinking opponents before,...more
The Bud Collins History of Tennis: An Authoritative Encyclopedia and Record Book
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-08-16 Summary: Tennis, Anyone? ... This is an authoritative, comprehensive reference work, a necessity for anyone interested in the history of tennis. The b/w photos are wonderful although printed on plain-text stock, and the copy is always the usual Bud Collins as journalist stuff, amusing and arch, with all the stats one could possibly desire. My copy, however, has neither date nor place of publication listed anywhere, making me wonder about its authenticity. Furthermore, typos abound. Still, I wouldn't be without this tome, especially with the Open ...more

Treat Your Own Tennis Elbow
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-08-12 Summary: Works for "printer's elbow" too ... I spent a long time working my way out of the printing industry only to find myself right back in it last May - after 4 years at a real job - thanks to the economy and layoffs. So now my arm hurts like hades, especially after busy periods when we have a lot of overtime. It only seemed to get better over the 4th of July weekend holiday, so it was obvious it was my job. So what to do? I was willing to try about anything. I sure didn't want to go to the doctor, have them charge me a copayment, then tell me to take freakin' ...more

While one might find bits and pieces of information about tennis elbow here and there, the author of this book found what the evidence-based research showed ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-06-23 Summary: Just Starting and it is EXCELENT ... Hello. I'm practicing the exercises now for 7 days and I feel already better. All the information is very interesting except may be for all the studies... It could be shorter at this point. Other than that is very practical and the exercises are very simple. The best is the tracking system. It really let you follow your progress with numbers... In my case very important. Thank you. ...more

[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-02-02 Summary: Imagination inspired ... I began this series when I was young and loved it then. Now as an adult with kids of my own I love it even more. FOr me, it inspired thought, and imagination. The concept of time travel has been explored in so many different ways in literature and on screen and it is still intriguing to me. This book and the series, combines time travel with scripture heros -fictional characters with real- and it only strengthened my desire to go back and read the scriptures more thoroughly. My son is 9 and I am getting ready to introduce ...more
[3] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-10-05 Summary: LDS classic ... So this is pretty much a classic among LDS kids' literature. Heimerdinger's voice is fun and observant and makes sure to get inside his characters' heads. It's also just a great little adventure into Book of Mormon times. The rest of the series has its understandable ups and downs, but this one can stand on its own with power and respectability for doing what all novels should do: tell a a great story. ...more
[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2007-01-23 Summary: These Tennis Shoes Rock! ... Tennis Shoes Among the Nephites A book by Chris Heimerdinger The Tennis Shoes series is originally about a boy who travels back in time to an ancient civilization called the Nephites (a people whose writings make the "Book of Mormon", which is a book the religious people called "Mormons" or the "L.D.S." people base their beliefs).
