More Reviews Get the rest of the "Consistent Tennis Wins" 8 DVD Series    Review Date: 2008-01-30 Tom Avery doesn't over-complicate things, nor does he oversimplify them. You can't wait to apply what you've learned! I have the whole 8 DVD series of his called, "Consistent Tennis Wins", which I also recommend. These DVDs deal with the: Serve Return of Serve Backhand Ability to Swing Net Play Singles & Doubles Tips Specialty Shots (lobs, slice, etc) and the Original It costs more than others, because you get what you pay for! It's worth it (though it won't hurt to shop around for the best deal)! This DVD a vital tool to improve ones serve    Review Date: 2005-01-13 Tom Avery teaches the techniques behind the Slice, Flat and Topspin serves. His simple drills has given me a consistent toss and has measurably improved my racquet speed on my serve. The video is clear and his teaching methods are excellent. This video is indeed a keeper. I say a keeper, because you will view it over and over again and each time another point seems to hit you. It's excellent. Very simplistic approach    Review Date: 2003-11-19 Bunch of tips you can hear from an average tennis pro. Nothing on tennis fundamentals or proper technique development. Good video quality which doesn't justify such a high price. A big disappintment    Review Date: 2003-07-10 I bought two more videos (II, and III) because I liked the first video, which has some good points. But it turned out they are both a big disappointment to me. Especially the serve tape. I feel the instruction in the tape contradicts with most modern serve techniques. I feel the motion of the serve in the tape is very rushed partially due to the extremely low toss. No momentum was build at all for the serve. You don't see any explosiveness from the serve motion. The only suggestion for power was to only use 75% of your strength, without mentioning anything about racket drop, knee bent, hip rotation, etc. Another difference on the serve motion from modern serves is that he steps into the court with his right foot after serve, so there was no push off from the ground, therefore lacking another element for power. If you are a true beginner, this tape may help a little. But if you are looking for improvement of your serve, you may be better off looking else where, such as the serve tape by Bollettieri, or the book by Yandell. Besides, why are Tom Avery's tapes are so expensive compared to others? Immediate Serve Improvement    Review Date: 2003-06-27 This is my 3rd tape of Tom Avery's and they just keep getting better. Tom continues to provide exceptional simplification of material. This tape on serving is fabulous! Replaying the material in your head when practicing will deliver immediate improvement. Thank You Tom!
