"Allen is a great coach who I was able to learn from pretty much immediately. His verbal and visual cues were working for me to identify immediately where my problems areas were coming from. He took a brief moment in the beginning to understand what my goals were and was able to quickly understand what level I was playing at. Overall will be good to see how I progress through my ongoing lessons with Allen

"Ed was quite helpful, especially with my net game, emphasizing paddle control and passing on helpful tips like holding my ground and hitting down on lobs. Still, more practice on dinking and unattackable serves would be great, though I left feeling more confident. If you're interested in sharpening specific skills, Ed's a solid choice to try out.
