Book excerpt: Tennis can be at any age, and while many take the sport up while in school or early in their careers, more and more people are retiring quite physically fit, and want to stay that way. Tennis is one great way to have both a fitness vehicle, as well as a very social opportunity.For those who think only of tennis as a young persons game, full of energy, it can be played slowly and with couples enjoying "mixed doubles". Probably one of the most difficult aspects of the sport is to learn the scoring system, and this guide teaches that.It also encompasses the basics of the serve, the volley, how to select a racquet, how to choose the right pro, and so many other topics.And by the way.. don't say, "I can't do this.. I have bad hips". The author, himself a senior (65+) has had not one, but two hip replacements.. and plays 3-4 times a week, generally for 4 hours!Watching him is like watching poetry in motion for he controls the ball so that he probably doesn't move more than 4 feet in any direction... and he'll teach you the same. This is a MUST have book for any future senior tennis player.
