Any of the California readers know what happened to Jack Broudy and the above websites ? He seems to have disappeared off the face of the earth and not answering the telephone. I found his 45 degree angle concept and CD very helpful. Thanks in advance.

Dont know! Have to find out. I thought his work on the 45 degree angle was excellent. I use it and see it in almost everything I do with tennis now. He turned me into a math geek.

From the e-mail I received they are developing a new tennis site which will be up in a few months. The new site will be www.jackbroudytennis.com

What is the 45 degree angle concept?

The concept starts with two lines that are attached or come from the middle of the net. The lines then go out in a 45 degree angle towards the baseline infinitely.

After your stroke preparation you would turn your shoulder into the 45 degree angle and make contact with the ball.

Another way to see it is from an actual video of a pro:

Excellent; I'm currently working on amping up my hip rotation, and this looks like a good Christmas present to myself.
