Tennis training videos...do they help? Any advice?

Question

I've been playing tennis for only a month or so, I'm decent, but I've not had any real coaching. I play pretty much everday, and I love it, but I am wondering...if I buy a training video, do you think it would help me improve?

I am specifcally referring to....improving my grip or teaching me proper technique as far as serving?

I just want to know if training videos are overrated or actually useful.

Thanks,

Answer 1

they are absolutely useful!

soak up all the tips from creditable sources - tennis magazines, video, instruction books, match on TV, then go on court to validate what you've just learn.

oh, that old guy play next to you and keep giving you tips, his tips may not be creditable. :)

Answer 2

Yes, tennis training videos do help but only if you get the right one.  If you want the best training videos, go to http://www.fuzzyyellowballs.com.

They have each and every video you need to watch to know everything about tennis, including grips, forehands, backhands, stances, and a lot more instructional videos.  And the best thing is, they're all free!

That site is the best instructional tennis site that was ever created...
