"Been playing tennis for years and thought I had a pretty solid understanding of the game until I started working with Tom lol. He completely changed the way I approach tennis. It’s not just about hitting better shots. He’s taught me so much about positioning, footwork, strategy, and understanding what’s actually happening during a point. One thing I really appreciate is how much attention he pays to the details. He’ll notice something tiny in your swing or movement, make one adjustment, and suddenly everything feels easier. Also, the pace of his lessons is perfect. There’s no standing around feeding balls for an hour. You’re moving, sweating, hitting, playing points, and actually getting a workout. Tom’s a great guy, super positive, and clearly knows his stuff. My game has improved massively, and I genuinely enjoy every lesson. Worth every penny.
