It actually is a good drill. A lot of people on here just belittle things for no reason.

That guy proplayer has not made 1 positive post on this board. I wouldn't pay him much attention.

Hey everybody, I hope it's ok if I weigh in I just want to thank everyone for contributing and to those who are supporting my blog, my you tube channel, and my coaching philosophy. I always do my best to over deliver as a coach and to get better everyday. My blog and youtube channel are there for any tennis player to get free tips so that they can improve and if players and coaches want to dig deeper and receive more instruction we have paid content available as well. I feel we are helping a lot of tennis players all over the world and am excited to help many more. I look forward to contributing to the TW forum and I want to thank federerkblade for getting this thread started. Feel free to ask me questions in here and I will do my best to answer. All the best, Jeff

Who are you exactly? Inquiring minds want to know.

[Jeff Salzenstein]

Hi Rusty, an 8 year old student I was coaching called the drill a "dirty diaper" and I kept it because it was fun

just have to sign up. Sure he played on the ATP, but I have no idea
what his teachings will be like b/c he offers *NO* samples or much
insight to his approach, etc. He spends 10 minutes trying to pitch people to
join his INNER CIRCLE, but what will you actually be getting?
No idea. Just that he wants people to pay $9.95 a month.

Hi Onehandbh, You can go to my blog or youtube channel to see my free video instruction.

Hi Larry, I strongly disagree that I am just another pro trying to make a buck. I get a lot of satisfaction out of helping tennis players get solutions to their games and I am committed to being the best coach I can be. Being able to make a good living doing something you love is a great thing.

I have been in Colorado for 4 years. I moved back after coming off the tour at the age of 33. I came back to Colorado to improve tennis in my home state. Definitely opportunities to help pros and develop players are few and far between unless I move to FL or CA. I chose CO for the quality of life. Now my passion has shifted to helping players all over the world with online tennis tips and lessons. So far it's working beautifully and I am really excited about the possibilities.

Do you have any serve lesson videos? I think I already saw one on slice serve. Any more?

Hi Jeff. Does the 10 dollar monthly fee cover all the content until the membership is cancelled?
I'd be interested in trying it for a few months.

I've known Jeff for a long time--used to go watch him play at Stanford and had the opportunity to work with him as both a player and as a coach.

The guy has an economics degree from Stanford, which may make him unique among tennis coaches worldwide. But aside from being smart, the thing I enjoy about Jeff is his openness. We've exchanged views on many subjects and think it's fair to see we've learned from each other, although we probably don't agree on everything.

It's great that tennis coaching has a young, passionate guy with his intelligence and playing credentials.

Salzenstein is superb IMO. He keeps thing simple, gets straight to the point, is innovative and refreshing, certainly compared to much of the dross out there.

There are far, far too many online websites out there that overanalyze, offer 90% marketing junk, or just regurgitate platitudes that serve no real purpose. Salzenstein tends to get straight to the point and tries to concentrate on what's going to work. His site and the tennisplayer.net site are only ones I tend to bother with since they tend to be BS free zones.

It's difficult not to respect him, not least because of the level which he eventually reached, all the work which he did to improve his own game, move himself up the ranks, and how he remained a student of the game throughout his career. He also comes across as very affable. Not sure if its still up on his website, but his two podcasts about how he improved his serve and how his career developed are well worth a listen, not least because its a great story.

I've mentioned Salzenstein a few times in previous posts, but since he's popped up here himself, I'm sure he can talk for himself!

I am really lookng forward to salzensteins work .

At dollors a month it is good value.

If i had the money plus the time i would go and spend tine with Jeff in Denver or christophe from tennis oxygen in florida. Both are the Real deal.

Hi Sureshs We have a few serve videos on youtube but we have a huge serve course coming-out later this year....basically my life's work on how I developed my serve which was average as a junior to hitting a 136 mph serve at Indian Wells at the age of 32. John Yandell helped me big time along the way. I love John's work and he is a good friend and mentor.
