About Mason

Tennis has been a lifelong love, with my journey extending to Lafayette College where I was a four-year starter in both doubles and singles. My teaching journey began in high school when I started instructing at local clubs and working as a counselor at tennis camps. Witnessing the transformation and improvement in other players' games is something I find incredibly rewarding. I'm here to help you take your tennis skills to the next level and share in your success on the court.

Our sessions included conditioning, footwork, and strength work while still staying focused on improving my game.

Mason is the G.O.A.T… I am an ex player who decided to pick the game back up after 12 years and chose Mason due to his experience and location. He listened to what I wanted to work on and executed it and beyond. Mason has a real skill in observing exactly what your mistakes are, even if you don't know, and drills you on the basics; he is relentless in reminding you what you are doing wrong, and praising you on what you're doing right. Shot to shot, he'll push, prod, remind and encourage you to up your game. All you have to do is listen and act upon what he says, and you'll notice real tangible improvements. I really cannot recommend Mason highly enough. Here is a guy who really can open the door for your tennis to improve and you also get to have fun! Lots of it.

Mason's lesson with John was quite positive, especially since he pointed out concrete suggestions for improvement, which seemed to resonate. He also got some good feedback he could relate to and it's nice to see that John was happy with the fact that he remembered some of his early skills. Giving him “homework” that he could actually do was a helpful touch. He mentioned his wrist was sore as we drove home so I know he was pushed at little. Mason kept things manageable because John didn’t complain, it was more of an observation. I have no doubt that he’ll keep progressing nicely. So, if you're considering tennis lessons, Mason is worth trying out, we feel lucky to have found him.

I found the lesson on backhand focus quite helpful, especially trying to get a feel for hitting like a forehand with the left hand. Though it was a bit of an unfamiliar sensation at first, I’m starting to understand it more. Maybe hitting the wall with just the left hand could help me feel it even better. Still, I think checking my backhand progress and trying backhand slices could really help improve my overall stroke. Mason’s measured approach makes the lesson feel practical without any hype. If you want to work on specific aspects of your backhand, I’d suggest giving Mason a try.

The lesson with Mason was quite helpful. I especially got some good tips on my backhand slice, though I still need to work on keeping the ball deep. It was useful to try and make the racket go forward, eventually lifting the ball up, which made a difference during rallying. Though I need to focus more on changing directions smoothly in stroke rallies, I left feeling more aware of that aspect. Still, I think with just a bit more practice on approach shots, I’ll get closer to where I want to be. If you're looking for a measured, practical approach, Mason's worth giving a try.

The lesson focused on volleys and included an interesting drill that felt pretty practical for winning matches, though I still think I could use more practice to really perfect it. Mason’s approach is usually quite straightforward, and this time the drill definitely highlighted some key points that I’ll try to apply during my next game. Still, I’m optimistic about improving my net game with this kind of focused practice. If you're looking to sharpen your volley skills, Mason might be worth trying out.

It's pretty good that Mason manages to keep my grandson excited and engaged during the lesson, though I’d love for him to focus more on what he thinks is important. Overall, I’ve noticed a gentle yet effective way Mason guides him through each part of the lesson, which is reassuring and helps build confidence. Still, I’m hopeful Mason can incorporate more of those insights into future lessons. If you're looking for someone who can connect well with kids, I think you might want to give Mason a try.
