I am highly recommending Chris as a Pickleball Pro. His practical approach to teaching beginners works. He had me playing games from the start after covering the basics. Just as you can’t learn to swim without getting in The water,” the same holds true with Chris as a teacher. I have years of tennis experience and he has helped me adopt a different racquet game while leveraging past mind and muscle memory. As a beginner, my improvement was so obvious to my group that they asked how I did it. My answer was Chris! I’d recommend him to anyone.
