“The 8board is the best device linking hip and racquet speed. It is self-explanitory and so easy to use it is hard to do incorrectly.” —Mark Roberts “I think the 8board is excellent at simulating the ‘flow’ of a tennis stroke. Too many pros try to break tennis down into discrete movements, thereby hampering the learning process. The 8board really lets the student feel rotational movement in the core of the body that is the basis of any tennis stroke. I’ve personally used the 8board and noticed immediate results with my students.” —Piet Aldrich “I bought the 8board from you and have to tell you how much I love it. I use it to teach tennis and have been working with my six year old. Prior to getting the 8board and the video, I was teaching her the old way. Then, I tried the 8board way and she can hit the ball much better, with more consistency and more control. I have also been using it and the philosophy behind it and I love the game again. I can’t wait to get out and play. Thanks for making tennis fun again.” —Keith Wilkinson “I’ve been a teaching pro for fifteen years, nine different countries, and I’ve been coached by two former top ten players. And Grail Tennis is the most grounded, most common-sense, yet revolutionary approach to the game that I have ever come across. If more people were exposed to the game that Jack and Paul are teaching, they would be tennis fanatics (or Knights) for life.” —Thomas Ritz “Through proper balance and good motion almost anyone can be a good tennis player. The 8board helps to achieve this in a minimal time of teaching. I have used the aid of the 8board in my own teaching of tennis and the best results have come to the ones who grasp this concept. They are the ones who make tennis look easy. My eight year old son amazes people with his talent, he has been a student of Grail Sports for two years, and here is a kid who had no interest in sports two years ago, now I can’t get the racket out of his hand.” —Virginia L. McGovern “The book is outstanding. Your video tape has some of the best tennis footage that I have seen in a very long time. To me it shows how you can see your system in work by the very gifted athlete who is ‘unconsciously competent’. Grail Sports is really at heart an iconoclast and one so willing to share what one has.” —Mike Hadow “I have gotten very good and interesting results when using the 8board in both tennis and golf instruction. And it compliments and supports my work with the Feldenkrais Method. It’s been invaluable in helping my clients coordinate movement from their hips. And my 11 year old son makes it his first exercise when he gets home from school. I recommend it highly and often.” —Gil Kelly “The 8board is great for teaching, learning and practicing solid stroke technique.” —Chris Yoder
