S.M.A.R.T.S.= Great Tennis Technique!
By Andrew Tan on August 9, 2000
This book introduces and reinforces this concept known as S.M.A.R.T.S., which stands for Seeing, Movement, Adjustment, Rotation, Transfer and Swing, for solid tennis strokes. While other instructions books in general tend to focus more on the strokes, this book emphasises on the full spectrum of the shots, starting with spotting the directions of the balls from bodily movements (Seeing). It's a book which also combines many other facets of the game, including shot selection/troubleshooting, equipment, drills, playing under pressure and in different conditions, and lots more into a comprehensive yet very readable book. For beginners and advance players alike, this book IMHO is a must-have. FYI, I'm a 4.0-4.5 all-courter.

Best tennis book I have
By Amazon Customer on August 8, 2002
EXCELLENT BOOK !!
I have a few tennis books from Vic Braden and Brad Gilbert which are not bad but this book is by far the best.
So many club players concentrate only on swinging which is why SMART system is tremendously useful to anyone serious about tennis.
For instance, in the past, I never know there is such a great difference of using dominant eye versus non-dominant eye.
I now can see the ball more clearly and quickly.
