Tennis is one of the most high-tech, closely monitored sports in the world, from high-speed cameras that swoop around the court to digital refereeing that can see if a ball traveling at 150 miles per hour glanced a line by a millimeter. And making it easier to detect, refine, and establish new patterns is one of the goals of Tennis Science, which invokes physics and physiology, among other sciences, to help players and coaches better the game.

More DescriptionTennis is one of the most high-tech, closely monitored sports in the world, from high-speed cameras that swoop around the court to digital refereeing that can see if a ball traveling at 150 miles per hour glanced a line by a millimeter. And making it easier to detect, refine, and establish new patterns is one of the goals of Tennis Science, which invokes physics and physiology, among other sciences, to help players and coaches better the game. Tennis Science will reveal the biomechanics of the sport, with explanations of stroke development, psychology, and the evolving technology of courts and racquets. In 8 chapters, players can learn about building higher racquet velocity, why spring in one's step improves the game, and how the sweet spot on a racquet has adapted to new materials and players' styles.
