LessIsmore Tennis Approach focuses on what comes naturally and spontaneously rather than teaching the body how to play tennis mechanically.
Hitting the tennis ball? How?
With the arm(s)? With the hand(s)? With the wrist(s)? Or With the whole of one's body?

Learning Tennis The Traditional Way Or The Natural Way
After years of learning tennis the traditional way, I discovered that simply trying to do what a tennis instructor says does not really work most of the time.
Concentrating on the usual mechanics - turning sideway, getting your racket back early, stepping forward, following through - leads to unnatural tennis. Do you know why?
It is because the thinking you expend on those mechanical instructions distracts your mind from the most important act of tennis : hitting the ball !
