James Bragg
Over 15 years coaching experience between tennis and pickleball helping players of all levels reach their potential. As a former top 30 PPA pro, I bring a unique perspective and wealth of knowledge to every session. A current 6.0 Dupr player with wins against top 10 players in…
the world. Looking for serious players that want to improve and compete.
Drills + Skills + Fun = Leveled-up! One 12-hour block of lessons completed and I can now block balls from bangers, put shape on dinks, aggressively speed-up, and hold my own with much better players. Coach Bragg has given me forehand and backhand skills. Besides jokes/laughing throughout the lessons, a highlight is to play real points against a pro pickleballer! We have worked on: Dinking forehand Dinking backhand Singles play strategy Doubles strategy Presetting paddle angles Contact points Finish paddle angle Much more not on this list. I’ll book again with Coach Bragg!

The lesson was really great, actually. I appreciated the focused approach and how well James explained nuances of pickleball, which helped me understand my game better. Still, I think with a bit more emphasis on certain techniques, it could be even better. Anyway, I’m hopeful that future lessons will continue to sharpen my skills, and I’d say you should consider trying James if you want someone who knows their stuff.
