 The insights and subtleties of the beach game June 22, 1999
As an avid reader of volleyball books I am forever searching for ways to improve my game. Most books assume you are starting from scratch and fill the pages with basic skills, drills and photos. Tanner's insights into this great game emphasizes the basics but goes beyond to clue us into some of the lesser known but very important subtleties of the game. Herein lies this small books value. These are secrets to success that can only be arrived at by playing the game at a very successful level. Tanner has done this and has put out a great little book full of these insights for the rest of us to use! Just a suggestion for a second book... a book filled with pictures or diagrams depicting common and not so common situations in a beach court and how the author would handle them.
 What a disappointment May 20, 1999

Wanting to take my game from BB to A and feeling like I had the skillset, but lacked the smarts to do it, I was awaiting my order for this book eagerly. What a let down. Possibly 1) the author doesn't really know VB strategy as he claims, 2) does know it but has no business writing for lack of skill in that area, or 3) the strategy side of volleyball is 2% to the the 98% skills and ability. I have a feeling it's a blend of 1 and 2. The description is effectively a lie: 3 pictures (2 "no's", 1 "yes") on defensive posture. There are absolutely no drills. No blocking strategies. No ways to id weaknesses, just how to exploit them. About 50 pages of large type. How do I give it no stars?
