Want to play 1000 Times Better in 10 Minutes?

At the National Indoors 60’s tournament, I was selling my book at the tournament desk. A fellow player purchased my book and after reading the lesson on seeing the ball, he came up to me and asked me if I would give him “the test” in person.

In case you don’t know about “the test”, it is a simple exercise that I give new students to demonstrate and experience how the ball must be seen. Only about 2% get this correct and it has shown me that even if I tell people to see the ball, they just don’t know what that means until they get the results of “the test.”

Since giving the test is one of my favorite things to do, I agreed. As it turns out, he was one of the 2% of the people who got the test correct.

However, I noticed that his strokes were not as consistent as they could be. Being the compulsive teacher that I am, I told him I wanted to show him the Mother of all Tips exercise. This is lesson #40 in my book and you get it for free when you sign up for my free Mini Lessons that I send out every two weeks. So, for the next 10 minutes, I showed him how to do this and made sure he was doing it correctly.

It turned out that he was still in the mixed doubles consolation and he was playing with a woman who he had never met before. Later in the day, he came up to me and said, “We just finished our match and my partner asked me after the match what had a happened to me. She said that my game had improved 1000%.” He told me that he just decided to use what he had learned earlier with me and it made a huge difference in his game.

Now, you and I know that 1000% is an exaggeration, but we also know that something dramatic happened to his play, all because of his ability to see the ball correctly and his ability to do the Mother of All Tips during his match. Now I don’t recommend doing the Mother of all Tips in a match, but he was able to modify it enough so that it worked big time for him.

I don’t expect most people will get such dramatic results but you can expect to see immediate improvement just by doing one or both of these concepts.
