- Stay confident at net
- Finish points more easily
- Help others with your knowledge

Who is the course for?
Everyone. Even a professional player might be familiar with the concept in video number 8, but they probably never knew how to put it in to words like Tilden did for us. Remember, the biggest compliment you can give us is to refer us to others, so feel free to spread the word. This is for everyone.
