BIO

My lessons are very intense. I believe in very simple mechanics, and hitting through the ball. I think the service line volley needs to be hit with pace and I advocate volleying on the wall to master the technique. The 'old school' volleyers like Laver and Rosewall are so superior to today's players, with the exception of The Bryan brothers, who volley the same way. The one handed backhand HAS to be taught along side the two-hander to ensure a player is comfortable in every area of the court.
