"The lesson with Ranai was quite helpful, especially focusing on footwork, which really improved my control on the ball. Though I think a bit more instruction on footwork would make future lessons even more effective. Still, I feel like I learned useful techniques to incorporate into my training and can’t wait to build on them. If you're interested in sharpening your footwork, I’d say give Ranai a try.

This combined experience has honed my ability to convey techniques effectively, ensuring that students not only learn the basics but also appreciate the discipline and dedication behind every stroke.

"Ed's lesson was quite good overall, especially since his advice was really helpful and to the point, which I appreciated. His helpfulness stood out, though I’d like to see some focus on improving forehand control next time. Still, I’ll probably try Ed again because his straightforward guidance feels quite practical.

"Amazing coach

I'm a tennis prodigy turned coach, with a knack for breaking records and building champions. As the youngest qualifier in Oklahoma State Championship history during my freshman year of high school, I've always had a passion for pushing boundaries on the court. Transitioning to college, I seamlessly balanced coaching and playing for the club tennis team, honing my skills both as a player and mentor. Now based in LA, I've embarked on rebuilding and reimagining my coaching career, finding innovative ways to connect with players and elevate their tennis prowess to new heights.

"I had an excellent lesson with Austin, who helped me regain my tennis skills after a year-long recovery. His intuitive approach stood out as he tailored the session perfectly to my current abilities. The one-hour class was packed with effective footwork exercises and drills, keeping me engaged the entire time. By the end of the session, I could feel my connection to the court coming back, which was incredibly rewarding. I’m truly grateful for his skillful instruction today and look forward to more lessons with him!

30 years of playing and teaching experience. Have worked with David Leadbetter and Kip Puterbaugh for over a decade. Have not worked with a student yet that doesn’t improve if the student is willing to put in the work.

"Great lesson! Michael was very patient and encouraging. Definitely improved my putting today.
