Warning - fraudulent company. Please take your business elsewhere. I found TenniswithD on Yelp and…read morereached out via email. Danai responded promptly, and we scheduled a phone call. He told me he runs a business with a few other tennis coaches; he said they have a group of students they work with consistently and often have social get-togethers - I've come to realize none of this is true.  Danai employs college students to provide tennis lessons. I signed up for a package of five lessons; after receiving three, I was told my instructor had a summer internship and was no longer available. It took weeks for Danai to connect me with another coach, and when I checked in, he'd respond with passive-aggressive notes that I needed to "be patient." When he finally found another instructor, he provided the incorrect information to the new instructor, and they didn't show up to the lesson.  I asked for a refund, which Danai said he would honor. It's been over three weeks, and I'm still waiting to receive the refund; each time I check in, I'm told he will get to it. Please do your research before reaching out to this company, you'll find they have no employees, and their website is often down. This is a poorly run, terribly unprofessional business, and I hope my review stops others from being scammed and wasting their time and money.

We are weekend warriors and have taken many tennis lessons and clinics. I have heard it all but I have never had my game broken down so articulately and with clarity. I took advantage of the trial private lesson, I figured why not get a good hit at the very least. I got way more than I bargained. He was able to sniff out life long bad habits and draw out suggestions on the way "back". Unfortunately I am way inland. And also his price tag might be a bit higher than I am used to but I will definitely come in for that occassional fix and take issues to fix to my coach. I would have liked to get this level of coaching as a kid... the story is his business is finding a new home here. Goodluck and hope you find a welcoming venue for your operation here.

And, I played Tennis a tad when I was younger. Family members retired from Wilson Sporting Goods so I had access to the best Tennis equipment/merchandise. And, I watch ALL Tennis Players including Wimbledon every year. So it's safe to say, I know a little something about the Game of Tennis. Let add that I do not own a Motor Vehicle. I do know how to Drive. Never owned a Motor vehicle in the State of Illinois nor had a Driver's License in the State of Illinois/ City of Chicago. I had no need for parking in the Parking Lot at Xs Tennis as I use Chicago Transit (CTA) or I walk to Xs Tennis. WOW! Construction still going on outside and inside of Xs Tennis. Yes, I saw the construction outside going on prior to signing up for Membership. And, it's the Windy City!With that being said, ongoing outside construction can present issues walking into Xs Tennis. Once inside, um, I was a New Member had never been inside. There's a Front Desk staffed with maybe two people who check your Name then give you a little yellow envelope with your Card Key inside, aka as a "Fab". Next your ushered through a turnstile. Last, Crickets. There was nothing else said to me. I did not know where anything was! I could feel cool air coming in; the ongoing inside construction. I had to address my questions to other Members. The Instructor was Great, no really was. The Members were friendly and informative. I'll stop here. I haven't been back since. I'll finish by saying that The Front Desk could be more informative about Xs Tennis if you state you're a New Member.

I recently stopped by Ace Golf for a new set of irons.

I never once got the sense that Dave was annoyed with the process - he seems to have a passion for fitting people into new clubs and improving their golf game. When all was said and done, there was no additional charge for the fitting, and the irons were priced competitively (same as Taylormade sells them for on their website). They also arrived within 10 days of my fitting. Can't recommend this place enough.

Importantly, I will add that I'm a 62 yo female who had the exact same experience as everyone else who reviewed so encourage anyone who may feel intimidated for any reason to set that aside and just go. Dave is passionate about golf, determined to get you the right fit, and takes a huge amount of time loaded with patience to ensure you are satisfied but also that he is satisfied. Case in point: After buying a new set of 7-UW irons several months ago, I came back to get fitted for a new driver (to match my gorgeous new irons, so I thought...). After 2 hours of watching me hit balls, analyzing my swing, and throwing in a lot of great coaching, he kindly and gently advised to work on my swing (apparently a driver swing is completely different than with an iron. Who knew?) and see if I can correct some of my inconsistencies. To be fair, I'm coming back to golf after a 5 year hiatus and 3 joint replacement surgeries, so I'm a mess. However, Dave ended saying he would not feel comfortable selling me a $500-700 driver that may not give me the best performance (because of my swing). That was after 2 hours of his full attention. If that doesn't convince you to go to Dave, I'm not sure what will. And, yes, his mom is the absolute sweetest.

There's no lighting in part of the store and the counters at the front looked like a salvation army with their disorganization.

It was a better experience by far and that really surprised me.
