   Table Tennis Doubles for Champions
My new book
is out at Amazon!!! It’s 133 pages, with 109 pictures and illustrations. There
have been many instructional books on singles, but rarely more than perhaps a
few pages on doubles. So, if you like doubles, this is for you! (I’ve won a lot
of doubles titles, but more importantly, I’ve coached a lot of doubles
champions.) Chapters include:
Great Partnerships
The Start of a Doubles Match
Serving in Doubles
Receiving in Doubles
Rallying in Doubles
Positioning & Footwork – fully illustrated
Secrets from the Pros – see list of interviews below
Tactical Doubles Stories
The Wacky World of Doubles – the funny side of doubles
Doubles Rules
World and Olympic Champions – complete listing

 The “Secrets from the Pros” chapter includes interviews,
tips, and features on great doubles champions such as Stellan Bengtsson, Gao
Jun, Nikhil Kumar, Amy Wang, Jasna Rather, Dan Seemiller, Sean O’Neill, Dell
& Connie Sweeris, and Dave & Donna Sakai.

The book had an incredible Editorial Board, a virtual Who’s
Who of table tennis, that edited, made suggestions, and improved and approved
the book. In alphabetical order, they are: 

Ø  Angelita Bengtsson, 4-time US National Women’s Doubles Champion; member of US Table
Tennis Hall of Fame and the Indian Athletic Hall of Fame.

Ø  Stellan Bengtsson, World Singles and Doubles Champion; long-time Swedish National Coach;
