Hitting Back $8.32 ? With Andy, the sky's the limit... ? - John McEnroe. At Wimbledon in 2005, a young, brash Andy Murray came out of nowhere and thrashed star pros Georges Bastl and Radek Stepanek. He took a two-set lead against former finalist David Nalbandian before his dramatic winning run came to a end on the Centre Court. But a legend was born, and Britain had a new sporting hero. Henman Hill was renamed Murray Mound, and Henmania became Andymonium. In 2006, Murray went stellar. Aged just 18 he won his first ATP title at San Jose, California, beating former world no. 1s Andy Roddick and Lleyton Hewitt on the way. In the same month, he deposed Tim Henman to become the British No. 1. By the end of a wonderful year in which he was one of only two players to beat Roger Federer, Murray was no. 17 in the world. But Murray is much more than a truly gifted tennis player and potential grand slam champion. He has changed the face of the British game, blowing away the cobwebs of the All England Club, and dividing opinion with his brash, straight-talking style, anti-establishment rhetoric and on-court anger and passion. A whole new generation of kids are becoming tennis fans. Andy has made tennis cool again, like the days of McEnroe, Borg and Nastase. Here, for the first time, Andy Murray talks in his own words about the long, testing, and often difficult path to superstardom. The boy from Dunblane opens up about dealing with the constant limelight and attention from a media and a general public desperate for a genuine British tennis star, and gives the exclusive lowdown on Wimbledon 2008 as he prepares to launch his bid for grass-court glory. Temperamental, gifted, passionate, fiery: Murray is the dazzling new face of British tennis, and a role model to a whole generation. Andy's story will enthral and excite the entire country. |

Play Better Tennis in Two Hours $18.95 Can tennis really be this simple?. Just ask the dozens of world-class players who have made it to the top using Oscar Wegner’s groundbreaking approach. But if playing tennis isn’t so easy for you, if you never seem to play up to your potential, don’t blame yourself—blame the coach who taught you a lot of uselessly complex techniques. Play Better Tennis in 2 Hours is your guide to tennis as the pros play it—more intuitive, more fluid, and more fun. World-renowned tennis coach and ESPN commentator Oscar Wegner shows you how to focus your efforts on one thing—hitting the ball correctly. Your own natural athleticism will take care of everything else. Follow the simple drills in this power-packed handbook, and you’ll learn how to: Move to the ball efficiently and fluidly; Stop worrying about foot position and stance; Hit every stroke harder and more accurately; Put a wicked topspin on your forehand; Master both one- and two-handed backhands; Combine control and power on your volleys; Put more speed and spin into your serve and more punch in your return. "Known and respected all around the world, Oscar has given us another great contribution to tennis with this book."—Gustavo Kuerten, three-time French Open champion. "Oscar has broken the mold, demystifying the modern tennis stroke. There's genius in his analysis of pro techniques—the dynamics of what the racquet does to the ball, how power and spin are added. He understands how top pros really stroke the ball, and always have, all the way back to Tilden."—Andy Rosenberg, Director for NBC Sports Wimbledon and French Open |

Getting Started with Table Tennis
Most of us have played table tennis, or ping-pong, at least once or twice. You may think that there is actually not a lot of skill needed to tap a little white ball over a tiny net, but there is a lot more to table tennis than you might think. If you are serious about learning to play, then there are several things that you will need to get started. Aside from the paddles, the ball, and a table, you should really consider a table tennis video to learn some of the finer points before you attempt playing competitively.
Of course, practice is what makes perfect, but you might be able to give yourself an edge with a few products and pieces of equipment that are designed to heighten your playing experience. For instance, the choice of paddles is pretty important. You may not think that the rubber on either side of the ping-pong racket is important, but the type of rubber that is used can really be advantageous. You should make sure that the different sides, which will be either sandwich rubber or ordinary pimpled rubber, offer an excellent grip on the ball. Hitting with any old side of the paddle might seem like it would be effective enough, but once you have learned the differences between the two different types of rubber and how they can affect the flight of the ping-pong ball, you will never look at your paddle the same way again.
As a table tennis video would also explain, any old ping-pong ball will just not do, either. If you are planning to play just for fun, then using whatever is available will probably work just fine. You should probably plan on chasing it all over the room, though. For competitive play, however, there are different grading systems. The 0 star ball is probably the ball that you will spend hours chasing around a recreation room, while the 3 star ball is what the serious professionals use. There are 1 star and 2 star balls in between, but these rankings are also only good for recreational play. As a beginner, the 0 star and 1 star balls are your best bet, just to learn some of the hitting techniques. The professional grade balls come later, because they're a bit more expensive and you don't want to lose them.
As you can see, there is much more to table tennis than you might expect. With some patience, and maybe a table tennis video to give instruction, you can develop the necessary skills, and have fun doing it.
