Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tennis To those who have worked hard to place Simply and Clearly before the reader that which he will find within, the best thanks of the Editor are due. That it has been no slight labour to supervise all that has been written he must acknowledge; but. It'has been a labour of love, and very much lightened by the courtesy of the Publisher, by the unflinching, indefatigable assistance of the Sub Editor, and by the intelligent and able arrangement of each subject by the various writers, who are so thoroughly masters of the subjects of which they treat. The reward we all hope to reap is that our work may prove useful to this and future generations. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from How to Play Tennis Although this book is called The Tennis Primer, I hope that it will prove of great use to the most expert tennis players, for few of them have a backhand drive. I have herein paid special attention to this branch of the game, for the execution of this stroke is almost a lost art, and there is no reason why it should be so if players will take the trouble to study carefully the photographs given in illustration of this very fine drive.

Download or read book Racquets Tennis and Squash Classic Reprint written by Eustace Miles and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-23 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Racquets, Tennis, and Squash Conscientious teachers of elementary things are a mystery or even an abomination to the genius, who does not realise that his own exquisite skill must possess not only the outward and visible signs, that inimitable blending of dignity, power, and gracefulness, but also certain imitable foundations, even if these latter parts of his play be (as foundations love to be) least appar ently important. To the genius it seems mere waste of time to analyse a complex whole - to him the stroke is a single organism - into many simple parts, and to explain the why and the whereby; the function of each part, and the way of manufacturing each part by accurate and attentive effort. To the genius it seems sufficient that the Clock is a clock and can be wound up with one small key. Why take the works to pieces? Why spoil a beautifully harmonious unity by describing its mechanism - its spring and wheel, its pendulum and escapement? Why? Because we want to find out and to be able to alter the parts which compel the Clock to keep poor time and to work altogether badly. Otherwise we might for ever gaze at the skilful and unskilful players side by side, and continue in vain to urge the latter to rise to the standard of the former.

Doherty on Lawn Tennis But, though English and American players vary in style from one another and among them selves, yet constant play against all sorts of opponents in all sorts of places under all condi tions - on courts of grass, wood, gravel, sand, asphalte, concrete; in weather dull, rainy, bright, burning - has made as sure that there are some instructions which can have very few exceptions. On these general principles we have laid great stress, and in order to impress them upon the reader we have purposely left out a great deal about the history of the game, &c.

Download or read book The Strokes and Science of Lawn Tennis Classic Reprint written by P. A. Vaile and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-22 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Strokes and Science of Lawn Tennis The object of this book is to set out clearly by letterpress and diagram-photograph the manner in which all the best strokes of the game are produced. In nearly every case the start, impact, and finish of the stroke is given. This and the accompanying explanation should enable any one to learn the strokes without difficulty. I have been compelled to illustrate these strokes myself, for there is no player in England who plays them. Here and there one finds a person who uses one or two of them, but it would, in a work of this nature, be obviously impossible to collect photographs of a great number of different players. These strokes are not here laid down as being the most perfect because I play them so. They are the most natural and effective strokes known, and are the result of the experience of practically all the most famous players in the world, except Messrs. R. F. And H. L. Doherty. This statement I shall refer to later on. It is confidently anticipated that this book will prove of great assistance, not only to beginners but to those players who, on account of their defective hold of the racket, cannot produce the best Lawn Tennis strokes.

Download or read book Lawn Tennis in America written by Valentine G. Hall and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lawn Tennis in America: Biographical Sketches From boyhood - not so very many years ago - I have taken great delight in the game of lawn tennis. I have observed with great interest the rapid progress which the game has made in popular favor. It has been my pleasure to attend many of the tournaments referred to in the following pages, and to meet the leading players who are described therein. My notes have gradually accumulated, and have given me some busy, pleasant hours. It has occurred to me that many of the large and growing numbers of both sexes with whom tennis is popular might find these pages of some interest, and not without value. It has not been my purpose to write a history of tennis, or to attempt to instruct players - my knowledge is not sufficient for such things. If lovers of tennis find my pages of interest for pleasant reminiscence, or for reference, or for comparison with the work at the net, I shall be satisfied. I have devoted the first part of the book to biographical sketches of six of the most prominent players in America, together with accounts of all the important tournaments in this country held during 1885 to 1887, inclusive. Following this is an account of the Renshaw brothers, together with a description of the championship matches and principal tournaments of Europe. I have added a table which shows the rank of the more prominent players abroad. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
