Assess
We rally and I score your core shots. You get the 2 fixes that matter most, in writing.
Play. Drill. Play.
Start with live points, drill the fix, then prove it in games. You leave with one thing to practice.

I'm Brent.
I coach new players up to 3.5 because that is where a game gets built. Learn it right and you keep climbing. Learn it wrong and you spend years unlearning it.
I show every shot, keep it simple, and keep you moving. No lectures. Lots of reps. You will hit more balls in an hour than you expect.
See the shots.
Every lesson starts with a demo. Watch it, copy it, then we drill it until it sticks.
