A biographical outline of Luca Mandalino. How I realized the “Theory of push lines” and the “4T Method”.
Chapter three Principle number one: “The synergic action of the player having a dynamic effect on the ball.”
Chapter five Principle number three: “Hit the ball in the area of maximum force and maximum sensitivity.”
Chapter six Principle number four: “The main point of greater pressure of the hand on the grip, useful for forehand, service, smash strokes and the secondary point, used for backhand strokes, wield their force on a push line passing through the barycentre axis of the racket.”
Chapter seven Principle number five: “The hypothenar adhering to the end part of the grip, acts as fulcrum and pivot of the dynamic mechanisms of the racket.”
Chapter eight “The theory of push lines”. The four unescapable push lines and the five fundamental principles of modern tennis playing technique.
Chapter twelve “The tennis of the past”. “The new forehand to a rebound in back-spin”. “The perfect player” and “the player of the future”.
