TENNIS
INSTRUCTIONAL CD-ROM FEATURES PROFESSIONAL PLAYERS
Center Court Productions,
a multimedia publishing company, has introduced "Acing the Game: Tennis
Fundamentals by Michael and Carl Chang." This interactive
CD-ROM contains expert tennis lessons, tips, drills and warm-up exercises
demonstrated by former French Open champion, Michael
Chang. Currently one of the
higher ranking players on the ATP Tour, Michael guides
users step-by-step through the lessons with narrated analysis by his
brother and coach, Carl Chang, Tennis Magazine's
1996 Coach of the Year. Designed for both
beginners, as well as tennis enthusiasts who want to improve their
game, the CD-ROM shows the correct techniques for the forehand, backhand,
serve and volley. Users can interactively
point and click their way through the lessons, tips and drills, and
view strokes from different camera angles in full-motion, QuickTime
color videos. Users can also manipulate the videos with the aid of
a control bar, allowing them to easily repeat each one as often as
they like, and at speeds they determine. A "Stadium Viewer"
provides users with 13 different camera angles of the strokes -- including
full, upper and lower body views -- to analyze each one as they are
demonstrated by Michael. And, as part of Carl's
narrated analysis, many of the videos are overlaid with hand-drawn
illustrations or telestrators, to emphasize specific areas of concentration. "I am very pleased
to be a part of the development of this CD-ROM," said Michael
Chang. "Since I became a professional tennis player,
I wanted to find a way to share my knowledge and devotion of the game
with my fans and give everyone the opportunity to learn tennis." "We are very proud
to offer this CD-ROM to tennis enthusiasts and believe that this product
will benefit all tennis players -- whatever level they are at," said
Carl Chang. "We also want everyone to enjoy
the sport just as we do, and help them realize that learning tennis
is fun and easy as long as you have the right guidance." Acing the Game
retails for $39.95. To see a demo of the Forehand and the Stadium
Viewer, visit Michael Chang's Web site at
