Welcome to Tennis Tickler
Tennis lessons in your pocket.™
Tennis Tickler brings professional video animation, photographs, and textual instruction to your iPhone or iPod Touch.
Tennis Tickler teaches correct technique for every essential shot in tennis.
Tennis Tickler is interactive. You control the playback for in-depth analysis and visual reinforcement.
Each shot is broken down into its component phases. Each phase features looped animation or photos combined with professional instruction.
All the Essential Shots at Your Fingertips
Tennis Tickler gives you all the essential shots: topspin forehand, backhand, two-handed backhand, slice forehand and backhand, approaches, volleys, half-volleys, serve, and overhead. Even a few trick shots for fun!
Break it Down
Split step, first movement, grip change, pivot, load, back swing, acceleration, contact, wrist roll, follow through, and recovery. Tickler breaks down the essential components of each shot into bite-sized chunks.
Each shot breakdown begins with a video animation overview of the entire stroke. Each phase of the stroke is then broken down into its own
animation sequence, complete with looping video and key Tickle Points™.
For example, the Tickle Points™ for the contact phase of a stroke might be:
Head Steady. Eyes on the ball. Body stays sideways and balanced. Contact out in front.
Tennis Tickler is all about quick access to interactive multimedia tennis instruction at your fingertips.
Full Control
Tennis Tickler's unique animation control allows you to slow down the action by adjusting playback speed. You can also pause the lesson and manually step frame by frame to study every detail. And Tickler's Smart Zoom™ automatically zeros in on the most important portion of the animation or photo.

Tickler Speaks Lefty
If you are a lefty, you are often forced to mentally transpose instruction from that shown by typically right-handed players. Not so with Tennis Tickler. Tickler has the unique ability to automatically flip animations and photos to depict either right or left handed examples. A cool way to personalize your Tennis Tickler and maximize your visual reinforcement.
