The Palm and Pocket PC PDA Tennis Statistic software

Tennis is not a cheap sport. Parents, clubs, schools or sponsors are spending thousands of dollars for equipment, lessons, traveling and fees every year. However, coaches do not have any tools (except statistics provided by IBM during the major tennis tournaments) that would enable them to monitor every match performance and identify area(s) in which players need improvement. Now you (parent or coach) can do better than IBM tennis statistics yourself – anywhere and anytime with your inexpensive PDA (Palm, Pocket PC or Zaurus) .

PDA Sport Stats Tennis software was developed with the following objectives:

·  Intuitive and incredible easy to use.

·  Implement one single integrated screen to collect all statistics without losing enjoyment of the match.

·  Provide easily readable and accurate statistics (match, set, each point).

·  Affordable for everyone (new color Z22 Palm PDA is now under $100).

You need only few minutes to get started with the Help menu provided. You will master software fast and it will reward you with accurate results that will help you to improve your player or your child game and also track opponents for the future. As a parent you can collect stats and pass it or e-mail it to the coach who can not be there for every point of the match.

This software has the following features:

1.  Provides a method for collecting winners and errors during a tennis match by simply tapping your stylus on the appropriate tennis stroke (1st serve, 2nd serve, forehand, backhand, drop shot, volley, overhead and passing shot).

PDA Stats had developed the most useful and useable tool for the serious tennis player since the ball machine. To really get better, a player needs accurate information. PDA Stats for Tennis is the single best way I know to get that verified information. As a collegiate coach and teaching pro, I give it my highest recommendation.
