"The best way to get someone to love their game is to let them know what they are doing right" is the philosophy of Milan Kubala, the director of tennis at Topnotch, the 120-acre resort and spa is nestled into a Vermont mountainside. He incorporates this viewpoint into three-easy- to-learn tactics involving stroke production, footwork skills and successful strategies. After spending your mornings focusing on a different stroke of the day and incorporating play-to-win techniques, test out your improved skills during afternoon match play.
