Who teaches you

Frank Doyle

I'm Frank Doyle, from Pittsburgh. I learned to play in an Army rec room in 1977. Back home, I turned my basement into a league club.

For 40 years I've run leagues and coached club players, most of them retired.

I won't make you a champion. I'll help you beat the guy who's been beating you for ten years. The pusher, the hard hitter, the one with the strange rubber: each one has a plan that beats him.

I'll also show you the bad habits that make you play worse than you know how, and how to stop wasting money on paddles.

No fancy stuff. Just what works at your club, every week.
