Excerpt from The Strokes and Science of Lawn Tennis The object of this book is to set out clearly by letterpress and diagram-photograph the manner in which all the best strokes of the game are produced. In nearly every case the start, impact, and finish of the stroke is given. This and the accompanying explanation should enable any one to learn the strokes without difficulty. I have been compelled to illustrate these strokes myself, for there is no player in England who plays them. Here and there one finds a person who uses one or two of them, but it would, in a work of this nature, be obviously impossible to collect photographs of a great number of different players. These strokes are not here laid down as being the most perfect because I play them so. They are the most natural and effective strokes known, and are the result of the experience of practically all the most famous players in the world, except Messrs. R. F. And H. L. Doherty. This statement I shall refer to later on. It is confidently anticipated that this book will prove of great assistance, not only to beginners but to those players who, on account of their defective hold of the racket, cannot produce the best Lawn Tennis strokes.
