Do you want to Play Like the Pros?

There are conventional ways to learn to play tennis and then there is Modern Tennis Methodology. In my experience, having tested and examined everything I could find, one Method stands out as the foundation of all great modern tennis teaching. If you would have told me four years ago I could get a 40 ball rally from a 4 year old or a 144 ball baseline rally from an 8 year old in the third week I would have said you were nuts. Tennis child prodigy Jan Silva, whose parents used Modern Tennis Methodology to teach him to Play Like the Pros, will have competition very soon. The secret is out how to Play Like the Pros. Read below.

My name is John Carpenter and I teach tennis in Orange and Los Angeles Counties in California after switching to teaching EZ Tennis for three years in St. Louis area where I taught at various facilities such as the 110 year old Triple A Tennis Club (15 clay courts) and as Head Pro of the famous Dwight Davis Tennis Center (19 hard courts). For 25 years, I have tested and studied every published tennis theory I can find, and though I still test the new ones, I have yet to see anything that even approaches Oscar Wegner’s Modern Tennis Methodology (known as EZ-Tennis) as the simplest and fastest way to learn to play tennis well. These techniques reveal exactly what the pros do to play at such a high level, and what amateur players need to do to maximize their potential. Oscar is recognized as a leading tennis instructor throughout the world and his influence on players at all levels of tennis is unparalleled. “History proved him right,” declared the internet’s largest tennis subscription site in May 2006. Today, more and more people are looking for coaches who are proficient and certified in teaching Modern Tennis Methodology.

Conventional tennis teaching is disappearing due to Oscar’s revolutionary techniques rocking the world of tennis. Everyone from ages 4 to 84 can learn Oscar’s Modern Tennis Methodology. Top players from Spain, Brazil, Argentina, Russia, and world champions from Bjorn Borg to Guga Kuerten, as well as the millions of players exposed to Oscar’s teaching through ESPN International and his famous DVDs all find this the easiest way to play. You will, too.

Personal Note: Having been USPTA and PTR Certified, I believe I have examined every known DVD/video published in the English language the last two decades including the recent series on “tennis fundamentals” Personally, I tell all my students that Oscar’s DVDs are worth a thousand dollars in tennis lessons as I believe they are the foundation of every good tennis player (whether acknowledged or not) and that the DVDs accelerate their game and make it easier for me as a coach to move them faster to the advanced stage. See below for a recent press release in England.

Click here what people say about learning to play modern tennis.

Through his books, videos, and his crusade to prove conventional tennis teaching made tennis too difficult to learn, Oscar has influenced the development of tennis around the world. But most of all, Oscar's Modern Tennis Methodology (MTM) makes tennis so simple to play well that adults and children of all ages all over the world are taking up tennis or dusting off their racquets and trying Oscar’s EZ-Tennis. Oscar can improve your game too. Try Oscar’s DVDs or the info packed EZ-Tennis CD-ROM and you will play tennis better than ever before. Beginners, intermediates, and advanced players will get instant results.

“I know people that couldn’t learn tennis in two lifetimes, but they never met Oscar Wegner. This is a short course of you hitting balls, lots of them, soon. You will find it worthwhile to dump the past and join Oscar in your tennis future. In listening to him, I’ve unlearned a few things myself that I long considered gospel.” Bud Collins, Tennis Historian, Wimbledon/French Open Commentator for the last 38 years

Successes with EZ Tennis Lessons in Encino and Irvine California areas:

Hi John, I really enjoyed our session. I got much more out of it than I believed possible. I believe my game will improve as much as 30-40% because of your coaching methods...that's a lot. I thought I had it down when it came to tennis technique...I've read countless tennis books, taken countless lessons and I have taught some tennis working as an assistant to some very well known teaching professionals...Oscar's method may be coined modern but to me it's more "organic" than anything else. Feel free to quote me. Dan Doroux,RCI Racquet Club, Irvine CA

John Staph, Varsity Coach, in Costa Mesa, CA: “First of all, my own game has changed forever! These are the secrets the pros know already. The personal instruction John gave to my students gave them instant results; improving their strokes in playing like the pros.  Oscar’s MTM is as good as advertised.  Everyone needs to learn to play tennis this way, the REAL way to play tennis.

Dear Steve (Tennis Director for City of Irvine), I just want to send a quick email to tell you how much my daughter Maia enjoyed Susan Nardi's tennis camp last week. She had just turned four when she began taking classes with Susan. We feel very fortunate that we happened to enroll in Susan's “Mommy, Daddy and Me” tennis class. What my husband and I appreciate most about Susan's teaching strategy is that she has children (even as young as our daughter) adopt techniques similar to those used by professionals. She does not teach a simplified version of tennis intended for "amateurs". What is most amazing is to witness how our daughter actually adopts and imitates this style and is already rallying. We have enrolled her in private lessons with Susan and I have enjoyed getting to know Susan and appreciate that she makes learning tennis fun not only for our child, but for us as well. Sincerely, Anne Wohlcke, Irvine CA (Susan Nardi, MTM Pro, USPTA Level 1, PTR National Tester and Clinician, is a nationally recognized expert on “munchkin” tennis who uses MTM as the foundation for all her students because it works for everyone ages 3 to 83.)

“After sensing something wasn’t right watching our children take lessons from different pros, I did some research and bought Oscar Wegner’s DVDs.  They made perfect sense so I called Oscar whereupon he sent me to an MTM certified coach, John Carpenter.  My 4 year old Noah and 8 year old Leah have been taking lessons from John for a couple weeks.  The improvement has been incredible.  I could not even anticipate my daughter looking like a pro in such a short time, achieving a 144  ball rally in three weeks of lessons.  Further research and watching my 4 year old son rally like a little pro makes me feel both are getting world class coaching.  But the biggest gift John and MTM has given them is a love to play tennis that did not exist before.  Now they always want to play. ”   Yury Gampel Calabasas, CA

Sep ’06 “Hey John, I’m doing well. I just found someone to emphasize what Oscar teaches, especially about waiting for the ball, and I started playing better than I ever thought possible. My rankings and tournament results have been better than before, but now that I have a “coach” to remind me of everything Oscar says, I started feeling unbeatable on the court and started beating some people I lost to in the past. I still am visualizing about waiting for the ball, and still feel unbeatable. If you keep watching my ranking and tournament results, I am positive you will see me shoot to the top of every ranking list, that's how well I've started playing. It's like it’s all starting to come together, and I've been beating everyone in practice lately. Please give my BEST wishes to Oscar! Thanks for everything, I have not forgotten where I learned how to really play tennis.” Michael Hui Oakland CA (Michael spent a summer with me and the summer of “07 at the Jose Higueras Academy in Palm Springs)

Successes with Modern Tennis in St. Louis Missouri Area:

John, I was really impressed with the progress you made with my daughter. To see you give her just a few minutes instruction, without a racket just hitting the ball with her hand, to start hitting powerful forehand volleys WITH topspin and not hit one into the net? INCREDIBLE! Being from Missouri I was somewhat skeptical you could get the results you said you could. But boy did you ever! She has been trying for two years to get good coaching. She just had several lessons in Palm Springs at the La Quinta Club but did not get the dramatic results you achieved with her in just a few minutes! To watch her pick up on your and Oscar’s teaching quickly and show immediate improvement on areas she was just very poor at is just amazing. Good luck in introducing this teaching method to established coaches and students. It has been a real eye opener and let me assure anyone considering it, IT DOES WORK!!! Feel free to use me as a reference. Keith Walker Spherion (His daughter from a very small school two years later won a tennis scholarship)

“When I heard from Ryan he and his teacher John Carpenter had both been taught by Oscar Wegner, I was interested to watch the clinic they gave in Stockton. I saw Oscar a few years ago with Bob Hansen, an accomplished college coach. I was amazed by John's results with people ranging in age from six to sixty, one who was my teen daughter. Everyone had great fun and most of all they all got instantly better. Johnny Tennisseed always seemed to get each player to hit real tennis shots as if it was really EZ. Even my daughter hit better and seems more interested in playing tennis. John opened my eyes with his theories much as Oscar had before. Like Bob Hansen, I am now a big fan and have already seen almost instant results in my college players. The Swing is now With Us! Thanks!” Raymond Still, Women’s Tennis Coach, Southwest Baptist University, Bolivar MO.

I have been a St. Louis high school coach for 9 years, One of my players first told me about Oscar's method and I was intrigued. I attended some clinics and was impressed with how well the method worked. I was fortunate to find Jonathan Hertlein, who was well versed in the Oscar method to coach my JV team. The girls have been very successful. I have watched beginners take their first lessons and gain skill and confidence quickly. They have responded very positively to Jonathan and the MTM. I am looking forward to working with Jonathan and the MTM in the future. Mary Nahm, Head Coach Incarnate Word Academy (to contact Jonathan Hertlein, MTM Pro, PTR Pro, in St. Louis, call 636-675-1737 or tennisjon@sbcglobal.net)

I had a hard time convincing my kids to take lessons again after conventional lessons failed to motivate them. They just weren’t having fun, and they weren't seeing any results. Then we tried EZ-tennis as a family and the change was dramatic! The kids not only saw immediate improvement in their games, they actually enjoyed the lessons. And after my friend Renee and I learned EZ-Tennis from you, we felt confident enough to join a league and are nearly undefeated! I wish every child could learn tennis this way from the start—there would be so many more lifetime players out there! Suzy Bacino, St. Louis MO
