My Select 'n Shoot games for tennis are designed to help you answer questions about related skills. They are meant to help you:

• Read the shapes of the airborne trajectories of the ball and how they "fit" in the court geometry. You learn which targets can be reached, how the ball bounces, where it can best be intercepted.
• Make correct contact with the ball, applying knowledge of the way the racket should hit the ball for serves and return shots to reach specified targets.
• Understand the physical characteristics of the court.

The normal tennis problem is to make the right contact with the ball. You need to set racket conditions that result in the best serve or the best return against a shot hit by the opponent -- i.e., to make the ball go where you intend.

The purpose of my personalized tennis experiments is to help you discover what's best for you personally. The trials let you select theoretical values for control variables, one shot at a time, like at the court. You specify conditions for the racket, the ball, the court, and other environmental properties.
