Video shots don't support the point
I found this video of only marginal help in improving my game. Bollettieri is too hyper and dogmatic, and all too often the videos don't back up the point being made. For example, he tells you a strategy to win a point. Then the players in the video who are supposed to illustrate what he wants them to do, end the point by hitting the ball out. In addition there are numerous instances where a serve or shot is clearly out but the players continue to play. I expected better from Bollettieri, one of the best in the business.

The Next Step in Strategy
This is the DVD that follows "Shot Selection and Court Positioning." This gives understanding to the next step in strategy for the single's game. It includes greats of today like Tommy Haas and the Williams sisters. Great for finding tennis single's plays.
