E-Book - Revolutionary Modern Tennis Methodology!
Tennis is easy to learn, to play, to teach and to enjoy. The shocking truth is that tennis has been made difficult. So ingrained is the false data accepted as truth for more than a century that it has affected, to this day, coaches, players, commentators, sports writers, even pros.
Something fateful happened to tennis in the birth of the 1900s. Tennis singles and doubles champions the Doherty brothers wrote a book in 1903 entitled On Lawn Tennis; in 1904 sports writer and tennis player P. A. Vaile wrote Modern Tennis and later (1923) The Strokes and Science of Lawn Tennis; then from 1904 to 1926 player Jahial "John" Parmly Paret published Lawn Tennis: Its Past, Present, and Future , Methods and Players of Modern Lawn Tennis and Mechanics of the Game of Lawn Tennis. These books had a mixture of data on tennis teaching techniques that contained wisdom as well as misconceptions and influenced tennis instruction for generations to come.
Even some of the greatest players of all time fell for these misconceptions and wrote book after book that did not reflect the way they played themselves. And this saga continues, perhaps somewhat modified, through present time.
What changed in the 1990’s in Europe, Asia and South America, shown by a plethora of new stars thereof? Simply, Oscar Wegner's 1989 and 1992 books, widely accepted in those continents, and Oscar's 1997, 1998, 1999 ESPN International tips across more than 150 countries, with billions of impressions, shattered those misconceptions and created a new generation of coaches and youth who rose to their personal best.
What happened in the USA? Tennis Magazine derided Oscar's 1989 book. Their editorial staff called it simplistic, ineffective and unrealistic, forewarning their readers without even trying the techniques. The coaches association's educational staff shunned it as well, ridiculing it, misleading their 30,000 plus members and the public those coaches served. Why? Their educational resources and know-how would have been shown to be faulty and their reputation compromised.
This long-time misrepresentation in the USA has had a negative impact on both the business of tennis as well as competitive performance toward national excellence. It perpetuated an atmosphere of strain on coaches and their players, imposing excessive effort and force in both teaching and playing techniques, including pain and injury to elbows, shoulders, lower backs and knees. The opposite, naturality and simplicity, was shunned.
This book will help coaches and players realize that tennis is easy and will serve the public seeking guidance in being introduced to a wonderful sport by helping them improve to good levels of personal competence with minimum stress.
Play REAL Modern Tennis. Try these lessons and you’ll be the judge.

Wegner's instructional tips were broadcast by ESPN International for 2 years and four months from five to 20 times a day in more than 150 countries around the world in English and Spanish, including airings during two Super Bowl football games, NBA Finals with Michael Jordan, Stanley Cup Finals, US Open Golf and all tennis broadcasts, generating more than 10 billions impressions on televisions worldwide. except the USA, where they were never broadcast.
Tennis has been thought to be, prior to that, a difficult sport to learn. The main reason for this difficulty has been the complicated teaching style, aggravated by the idea that you have to move and position yourself in very peculiar, unnatural ways.
Only now, with the advent of Oscar's Modern Tennis Methodology and very responsive racquets and strings, both producing higher ball speeds and spins, it is becoming increasingly known that it is imperative to act as naturally and efficiently as possible.
Once you master the natural fundamentals of modern tennis this beautiful sport becomes easier and simpler.
The complications go overboard and you are left with the simplicity and realities of a new state, in which you have more time than you ever thought possible. It now is increasingly easier to play the game.
