All I can say is that I wish I read this book before taking some clinics at my local sports club. To begin with, I listened to a friend and bought an expensive paddle that is too heavy for me, and my elbow hurts after playing. The clinic I signed up for was supposed to be for beginners, but there were people there who were definitely not beginners, and it was very uncomfortable for me trying to keep up with them. Lastly, the instructor seemed to favor the better players. He certainly gave them more attention than he did to me or the other beginners. In hindsight, had I read the book first I could have avoided a lot of mistakes that I’m sure many beginners make.
