Smash

It's a tennis revolution! This magazine has a great name and great content, but is it a big smash? Only time will tell. Filled with pictures, events schedules and tennis stars, Smash feels like a community builder for all the tennis freaks out there. The best part is of course the marvelous direct mail card, which really provides you with an idea of what the publishers are aiming at. "From the loins of Tennis Magazine," Smash is aimed at USTA junior members and is more of a reflection of the lifestyles of junior tennis players than a how-to guide to enhance their game. Published four times a year, this title also hones in on the junior tennis player's education with information about the top tennis colleges in the nation and how to score a scholarship playing tennis. Overall Smash is a title filled with a lot of good intentions, but those intentions can be easily designed to be more readable.

If Smash is aimed at the tennis freaks, Golf Magazine Living is aimed at the golf geeks. Golf Magazine Living is not your father's golf magazine. It goes beyond the game and takes aim at the lifestyle of not just the players, but the people who long to live at, be on and spend time by a golf course 24/7. For many of us this is a fantasy book. Aimed at the most affluent audience in publishing, Golf Magazine Living is for the few who live way beyond the means of you and me. This new launch from the editors of Golf Magazine is being distributed to the wealthy 350,000 subscriber subset of Time Inc.'s 30 million customers. This magazine is not for the wealthy, it is for the people the wealthy call rich.
