TESTIMONIALSWhat Players Say

Being coached by Dave has been a game-changer for me. His profound knowledge and extensive experience with long pimples and anti-spin rubbers are unmatched, perhaps even globally! Dave’s uncanny ability to tailor his coaching to suit my playing style has helped me understand and master the nuances of both attacking with long pimples and twiddling. His philosophy of ‘The Best of Both Worlds’—combining smooth and long pimples—is second to none, and his mastery of spin, deception, and disruptiveness with both types of rubbers is unbelievable. His strategic advice and targeted exercises have dramatically improved my control, spin variation, and overall performance. For any player aiming to take their game to the next level, especially those interested in mastering a combination bat, Coach Dave is the ultimate guide.

Dave is always on time, arranges transportation and provides the materials necessary for high quality practice sessions. The only problem I had with Dave’s training sessions was trying to keep the table tennis ball from going into the net after one of his heavy backspin chops but after some tips and tricks from Dave my consistency improved.

Every session with Coach Dave is always super fun & insightful! He’s always very positive and encouraging & extremely creative in his coaching style. Sessions often include a special focus on unique shots that aren’t often utilised in mainstream table tennis. He always emphasises the importance & advantages of standing out and doing something different as the key to success in this very difficult sport. Meeting and working with Coach Dave has been so rewarding, I look forward to working with him again soon!

Hello everybody, I met David in August 2023, when I was staying in the UK for a placement. Since I played league matches back in Germany and was searching for an opportunity to practice in Manchester, David was a very good practice partner. He was very warm and welcoming. In addition, David is very knowledgeable as a coach. He helped me to improve my game by teaching me to play my shots no matter the score. I consider myself fortunate to have had the opportunity to meet David as a coach and as a person.
