Honestly, I’d say this lesson covered everything pretty well, and I appreciate how natural the whole process felt. And the fun he made it. Ken is a great coach!

My lesson with Ken was quite helpful, especially in understanding proper strokes. Though I still need to work on them, I left feeling more aware of my shot control and confident I can build on this with more practice. Honestly, I appreciated how the lesson started to focus on practical adjustments but also he made it more fun with mixing it with multiple strokes from my end that it looked like I’m already playing! Still, I hope to see further improvement, but I’d say it’s worth trying Ken if you’re aiming to learn good techniques or refine your game.

Honestly, I think Ken’s approach really meets you where you are at skill-wise and gradually builds from there. Each lesson feels like steady progress, and still, we manage to have fun along the way. I’m hopeful about continued growth, especially with his thoughtful guidance. If you’re interested in tennis and want lessons that develop you naturally, you might want to try Ken out.

I find Ken’s approach to be quite detailed, especially when tailoring to different skill levels, which is pretty helpful. The lesson focused well on my current abilities and how to build on them, though I still see room to keep working on the basics while moving forward. It’s reassuring to have guidance that’s both specific and encouraging. If you’re keen on steady progress with a coach who really pays attention to the finer points, Ken might be worth trying out.

Sure was… both last week and today!! I feel like we are on the same wave length with everything. Your eye to my form and explanations to correct are just spot on. So easy to understand. By the way… me giving you feedback on my successes, is my way of saying what a great coach you are!! Thanks Ken!! Grinning ear to ear tonight… Played a match today against an opponent I’m 4-4 against. Armed with my new backhand and serve I absolutely dominated the first set: 6-0, winning 24/30 points. Of those 6 points I lost, 2 were double faults. It was amazing. Then he changed his tactics and started in with lots of slices and off speed stuff… I lost the second set 3-6. Argh! He was completely exhausted and begged for a tiebreaker… I won 10-6. Thanks coach!!
