Jim has taken me from a 3.5 to 4.5 USTA level in under a year.
He has a gift for knowing exactly how to motivate and when.
My wife and I have attended camps at Van Der Meer,
Bollettieri, and the Colony on Longboat Key; yet our favorite
tennis professional is Jim Purdom, right here in Decatur.
–Michael Flint, Decatur
Jim worked on my backhand approach shot and I'm now consistently winning points off short balls. A one-hour session with Jim is physically demanding. He produces results.
–Brad Fabian, Decatur City doubles champion
Jim has given me the strokes I've always needed for consistency and
power. He was able to teach an old "flat" and "slice" dog the benefits
of topspin. He gradually builds your strokes and overall game, taking
into account your strengths and weaknesses. His humor, insight,
creativity, and persistence set him apart from the other pros with whom
I've worked. I only wish he was around when I started playing!
–Dr. Ken Resnicow, Professor, Emory University
In the last year, Jim has re-structured my game and I'm hitting topspin on both forehand and backhand. After 30 years of hitting flat, I now have new strokes that have improved my
game significantly.
–Phil Miller, Avondale
Jim is a good human and he often tosses me one of his tennis balls. If I can't catch it in the air, I let it bounce and take it on the rise, which makes Jim happy.
