"The lesson went well, really, focusing on one section at a time meant Emily wasn't overwhelmed, which was quite helpful for her first time back on the court. Though I hope her forehand starts resembling her previous shape soon, I appreciated how the approach was measured and clear. Still, I think with a bit more attention there, her technique could really improve. Ryan's way of breaking things down makes a difference, if you're thinking about trying him out, I’d say he's worth considering to see how steady guidance can support your game.

I provide clubs, equipment, balls at hitting bays, and a launch monitor. Range balls and course fees are paid by the student onsite. Bring your clubs if you own them and a good attitude.

"I've had the pleasure of working with Brock for a few months now and have improved from a 22hcp to a 16hcp. He has been great in terms of reinforcing proper fundamentals in my technique but also tailors instruction to my swing, which I greatly appreciate. Highly recommend Brock to anyone looking to improve!
