Want to know how to neutralize your opponent's serve and use your return as a weapon?

Discover the secrets of a shot that most players never master, with the Modern Tennis interactive course on the return.

Includes detailed instructions, 91 videos and dozens of pictures and simulations!

This is the first course of its kind, and is ideal for anyone who does not feel their return is as good as it can be.

Have you ever thought of the return as a weapon? Most people don’t, but I’m here to tell you that your return can, and should, be a weapon!

In all the Grand Slam tournaments of 2005, 96% of the matches were won by the players who won the most the points on second serve.

This should give you an indication of the importance of the return in the modern game.

But while it is a very critical shot, it is also a very hard one to come to terms with. Professional players can serve up to 250 km/h, and many amateurs reach 180 km/h.

For the most part, you will only have about 0.5 seconds to hit a return of serve.

Half a second. Think about it!

Even if you think you have fantastic reflexes, you won’t be able to react in time to this sort of pace. Not even professional tennis players can react that quickly.

So what can you do? There are several things you can do, and that’s where Modern Tennis comes in!

In this course, you will learn how to use every piece of information at your disposal to your advantage.

Your opponent gives you valuable information before each serve…learn how to use it to effectively in "Modern Tennis."

To be able to hit an effective return, you need to train yourself to react to the right

stimuli.

You must train your eyes and brain to recognize the things that are important, and disregard those that are not.

But what do you need to look for?

The ball toss, for one, as well as the point of impact of the serve.

Your opponent’s grip is also very important, as it often indicates whether a flat or slice serve is coming.

There is also a trick you can use to gauge which direction the ball is going.

Most players have not studied the Modern Tennis course on serving, and therefore don’t employ the correct technique when serving.

Instead of a proper trophy pose and hip rotation, their serve mostly by rotating their shoulders.

You can look at this rotation (and how much or little it is) to find out which way the ball is going.

But having an idea where the ball is going is only half the battle: you need to know what to do next!

In Modern Tennis, you will learn exactly what to do during each phase and sub-phase of the return.

For a long time, tennis coaches neglected the return, but these days its importance is again becoming clear to everyone. But just like every other shot, you need to practice hard to become good at it.

And while most people now recognize the importance of the return, very few are actually capable of hitting it well.

If you hone your return with Modern Tennis, you will give yourself a decided advantage on court!
