In “Streamline Tennis’ Miss Browne has drawn upon
her wide experience as player and instructor. Turning
aside from the outmoded method of calling attention to
the faults of the beginner, she blazes a trail of directness
to the goal of perfection. Her methods are positive, not
negative. The academic methods of grip and stroke are
presented in simplified form, as also employment of the
variations of each in competition, while the chapters on
stroking present some of the best explanatory diagrams
that have as yet come from any player. Incidentally, and
contrary to general opinion, Miss Browne believes that
women are capable of successfully playing the net game,
citing instances of where it has won for leading players,
not to mention herself. Rich and fresh in its treatment of
tennis strokes and tactics, Miss Browne has provided a
volume that should also serve as an excellent textbook for
teachers, particularly the closing chapter, “101 Questions
and Answers,” which contains many gems of information
on play and technique. Profusely illustrated.
