Racquet View Review: Simple Tools to Improve Your Tennis Game

In today’s game, improvement is no longer limited to time spent on court. With the rise of accessible technology, players of all levels now have tools that can accelerate development and make training more efficient. In a recent product review, Florida Tennis Magazine’s Osvaldo Godoy and Alex Binstok tested two products from Racquet View designed to do exactly that: a phone mount and a tennis progress journal.

One of the biggest challenges for players is understanding what they are actually doing on court. Coaches can provide feedback, but without visual confirmation, it can be difficult to fully process and apply corrections. The Racquet View phone mount addresses this in a simple way, attaching easily to the net or fence so players can record their sessions without needing a tripod or extra equipment.

“Growing up playing tennis, sometimes the coach would tell me what to correct, what to do better,” said Godoy. “But I’m a visual learner, as most people are, and it would have really helped me to see myself hitting those strokes.”

The ability to instantly record and review sessions stood out during testing. With just a smartphone, players can begin filming within seconds, making it a practical option for everyday training.

“For me, it really helped to see what I was doing right and what I was doing wrong,” added Binstok. “Everyone has a phone these days, and this is so simple—you just put it on the fence or net and start recording.”

For visual learners, this type of feedback can be especially valuable. Watching your own strokes during drills or points allows players to identify technical flaws, movement patterns, and decision-making habits that may not be obvious in real time.

While video helps players recognize issues, long-term improvement depends on consistency and retention. Many players receive useful feedback during practice but forget it soon after. The Racquet View tennis journal is designed to help solve that problem by encouraging players to track their training sessions, matches, and key takeaways.

“Sometime in training, the coach would tell me something, and a week later I would forget,” said Godoy. “So it’s good to track your matches, your training sessions—what you’re doing well and what you need to improve.”

The journal includes a structured layout with guided sections and even a tennis court diagram, helping players organize their thoughts and reflect on performance more effectively.

“This reminds me of exactly what I was doing and what I need to work on,” Binstok said. “Something that I thought was a weakness, like my backhand, can become a strength if you stay consistent with it.”

Writing things down not only reinforces learning but also builds discipline. It allows players to approach each session with a clearer objective and track progress over time instead of relying on memory.

Together, the phone mount and journal create a simple system: record, review, and reflect. The mount provides the visual feedback, while the journal ensures those insights are not lost.

Racquet View’s products stand out for their simplicity and practicality. They do not require advanced technology or complicated setups, making them easy to integrate into any training routine. For players at any level, having a way to see their game and track their progress can be a valuable advantage in improving more efficiently.
