Worth It

Comments: Great for fine-tuning technique. The reading may be a little dry at times, but it definitely is worth the money and time. When taken slowly and patiently, this book benefits players of all levels.

Woot!

Comments: This book is wonderful. The first half is all text, but it's worth reading over before you get to practicing (as Stevens tell you to do). He basically goes over the entire grip. It's advised to have the mallets ready and to give a few practice strokes when he describes what should and shouldn't be happening when you try the different strokes. Then, after the reading, go past the exercises to the BACK of the book, and there is a grid with "Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced". This grid tells you what exercises in the book are good to start on and work up with. I recommend this book highly to anyone who wants to takes this grip into a performances.
