After just a few lessons with Steve both me and my wife have seen significant improvement in our tennis games. He has the ability to identify and then focus on the core problems in your game. He then offers simple advice and effective tips which have had great effect. His passion for the game makes the sessions enjoyable and makes you want to go back for more. We both highly recommend Steve to anyone looking to improve.
