![]() ![]() In a court of law you would have to show your smear to be true or lose and then have to pay damages. "I am anxious to hear your defense of your slanderous remark." - I don't have to defend ANYTHING Paul, i'll say what i like when i like thanks very much." I still have not heard anything to back up your slander (ripoff and plagarizer) of Tom. So if party B also makes use of a well known technology he is a ripoff artist. "Well for a start Vic was around making video's and forwarding his techniques way before Tom was." Wasn't Vic's first college down outside of San Diego back in the early 70's ? Too bad Private Messaging (PM) is not enabled on this board so we could take this to another room.īB Thank you for the interesting history surrounding Vic and his teaching. It shows that Avery does respect Vic's work and contribution to tennis. So if Avery uses Vic's research and tailors his instruction around it with his own emphasis that is good. Something Vic had little control over since the real estate developer controlled how the marketing dollars were spent and the fact they were really the ones that made Vic famous. But the money to pay for the facilities was in the beginner and intermediate market. It does not mean he didn't teach advanced players. Vic also catered to an audience that was eager to learn to play tennis. If I had the money, I would call vic right now and ask for the rights to his design. I look at the court diagrams and the way things worked and just shake my head not only in sadness (it has really fallen apart) but also in awe. Still to this day, I on occasion go out to Coto de Caza to reminisce the "old days" and have a couple beers sitting in the benches. Even the way ball hoppers were loaded was ingenious. If you have ever seen this facility, you would see a tennis facility way ahead of its time. The fixed wrist, the wrist release, the pronating arm on the serve, the use of the legs in the shot were all researched and documented by Vic. The research provided by Vic is outstanding.Įven today with the new techniques, you still have to hit the ball a certain way to impart different spins. Vic has provided so much research to tennis coaches it does not surprise me that Avery would use some of his stuff or at least tweak it to how Avery wants to say it. It was also about the same time that tennis was losing its market and popularity. When the real estate developer sold the rights to Coto de Caza (I believe to Disney) the Vic Braden Tennis College began to see the writing on the wall. Coto de Caza was one of the most state of the art tennis facilities ever made - even to this day. By doing this the real estate developers agreed to market this facility and him everywhere they could. Vic became famous when he agreed to build his "dream" tennis facility at Coto de Caza. He also was one of the first famous coaches to promote the use of topspin. Agassi had a floppy wrist or a wristy shot The illusion that the net is lower then it is at the baselineĦ. (made famous with his argument with Arthur Ashe)ĥ. Some of the tips he found to be myths were:Ģ. There were a lot of tips surrounding tennis in his day (as they still are) and Vic was one of the pioneers to turn these tips into myths. He knew how to research information, dissect it, and provide conclusions that were difficult to argue against. This gift separated him from a lot of coaches of his day. He could make you laugh while you were learning. However, he did have one characteristic that was worth gold. ![]() There was nothing special about him compared to other coaches. VIc used to be a struggling tennis pro for years. Let me share a little information about Vic Broaden. Hopefully I can settle this before this argument gets out of hand. Below, we illustrate the most common reason for this and how to avoid it. For example, here is an article I found:Ī common occurrence is to feel the ball slide or shear as it contacts the racquet. I agree with drakulie, EASI does have good information for the club tennis player and it doesn't cost much to join. Nothing wrong with that because you will beat 9 out of 10 club players just focusing on Vic's methods and principles! ![]() Vic Braden does have good instructional tapes but they are very fundamental. You have to find out what is right for you because there are several "approaches" to instruction. When instruction comes from well known coaches or even coaches that perform a lot of research, their is nothing wrong with the instruction or methods. That is why some posters above like them and others don't. Not all instruction is right for a person. They have a lot of good instruction in them - if it is right for you. Nick's videos are not useless or worthless. Ask a million people which videos are the best and you get almost as many different responses. ![]()
