Curly Davis, Harry Hopman Teaching Pro,
Hits a 2nd Serve Ace With His Video Offering

A Review by Mid-Atlantic Match Point
Two years ago. teaching pro Curly Davis. Adult Director at the Harry Hopman Tennis Academy in Tampa, Florida published his book Tennis: Play Smarter, Not Harder. The emphasis of the book was not how to play tennis but how to win at tennis. We reviewed the effort by stating. "Unlike many tennis instructional books, it cuts through the fluff and provides succinct and concise information that one usually acquired only after hours of personal coaching and match play”. His new video version of Tennis: Play Smarter Not Harder covers much of the material in his book. The real advantage is that the viewer is able to experience Curly's humorous teaching style first hand. He breaks down the important points into what he calls "Curl’s Pearls" they are short sentences reminders to help you remember the larger lesson, The 60 minute tape is packed full of information and tips that ran only help to take the viewer to a higher level. By the way, you will enjoy the "out-takes’ that are presented with the tapes closing credits. The tape and book are available on the internet at hcurly@msn.com.
