[Sportsandrec] Tennis

[L. M.]

I Have not tried the entire kit, but have used the ball and have had 
success.

In addition, if working on mechanics, it is not necessary to use an 
adapted ball for serving as a totally blind person.

Hitting off a garage door provides an opportunity for individual 
repitiion or having someone who can feed balls  to help develop 
backhands and forehands helps any player regardless of vision.
