I quite agree with Wagner of this book.Readers need to draw out right message intended as well as fundamental principle between lines. My tennis is much better than yesterday.My stroke is becoming so powerful as well as secure. All reasonable and theoretical points he delivers. Getting through this book, I have changed my tennis style to modern tennis in understanding his points at all. Recommend this book strongly.
I have been a tennis coach for 22 years and have coached at every level. I decided to try the drills and exercises on myself before totally discounting the book. These concepts have bridged the technical aspects of tennis with the all important feel and rhythm. I read Oscar's book about 5 years ago and thought it was somewhat flimsy. I do agree that seeing the DVD's was a big help. It looked too simple to be true. I was a college coach for years and now I coach players at the National level. What I found was that Oscar's concepts were genius.
It is as if I wanted it to be complex to work. The truth is I reread this book three times looking for the truth it held. It is a must read for all coaches and students. I think you can get them both as a set here at Amazon.

This book maybe contains some useful information, but not for me. I would never recommend it as an instructional book.Some parts are totally misleading for the beginners. Chapter about the serve especially disappointing - there is no sense to waist time to teach a serve like this. After reading this book I started immediately to look for other instructional material.
This book is good for players who have been playing for a long time using classical style of the 70's who want to adapt to the modern style of play.Good companion for beginner while taking some lessons from the teaching pros. Oscar's explanation of the modern forehand and backhand has made it easy for me to make the transition.
The best way to learn tennis with Oscar's technique is to buy his dvd's. Oscar's instructions are so deceptively simple that a beginner might have difficulty comprehending them.
I've been playing the game using classic style for a long time and saw a decline in my ability to compete with modern players. Just google his name and you will find his website.
Oscar's tennis perspective has changed my game over nite. My new skills has enabled me to compete with more success agaisnt modern players.
It's a great book for all you frustrated players looking for something to bring back the edge.
