Adam Bobrow – Ping Pong Coach

I contacted Adam in August 2015 because my best friend and I had made a bet that I could not beat him in Table Tennis. We made a bet that there was nothing I could do to beat him in 60 days and the loser would pay for all expenses surf trip to Nicaragua. We set a date to play in 60 days. My friend had been playing recreational table tennis since he was a young whipper snapper and had always made quick work of our friends throughout High School and College. I did hear he was beaten once or twice in College but upon further investigation I found out that he was so drunk that he was playing with a wooden cooking spoon and lost because he passed out on the table.
I don’t think I’ve played more than 2 games ever. But I thought 60 days was enough time with some tenacious work ethic and a good coach. Also it’s been several years since he’s actively played on a regular basis. I thought he might be a bit rusty. My friend had no idea I hired a coach. He never found out till the day of.
I met Adam and he introduced me to my first paddle and how to hold it and hit the ball. I immediately started on a 3 – 4 day per week 2 – 3 hours per day training schedule. I have been pretty athletic all my life but I was surprised by how much athleticism was needed when I would play. I had a new respect for any professional in the sport.
After a grueling 60 days of training we played our match and I beat him 3 games to 1. I had a blast committing myself to something all out for 60 days and without Adam and other people who he introduced me to that helped as well I would not have been able to beat him. Adam is a great coach that is very patient and professional.

Adam is so fun, with youthful enthusiasm, and the most amazing Ping Pong skills I’ve ever seen. He has coached my 13 yr old son for over 2 years son now. My son ADORES him and looks forward to his lessons. Adam helped us to get the right equipment HIGHLY recommend !!! Truly the best.

So I always thought I was decent at ping pong. After all, as a physical trainer I’ve got to be in good enough shape to keep up, right? Like many people, I grew up playing with friends here and there but then stopped playing. I’ve decided to start playing again because my goal is to at least make a decent showing against my dad when I visit home this Thanksgiving.
A friend of mine had Adam coach him and his co-​workers at their office in Santa Monica and couldn’t stop talking about how cool Adam is and how much fun they had at their company lessons. I decided to get in touch with Adam and I’ll tell you… he really loves ping pong. He encouraged me to do group lessons so that I would have enthusiastic players to play with between our lessons and that it would be fun more fun socially to improve with others.
I got 3 friends together for our first group lesson and we were hooked. We got pro paddles and had no idea that we would ever be able to do some of the things we can do now. I’ve never loved ping pong more than now, and after just 4 lessons my buddies and I destroy all of our friends. Adam will make you love ping pong and you will forget about everything else in life while you are having your lesson with Adam. I’ve never met someone as knowledgeable, passionate and FUN as Adam. My eyes have been opened to a whole new world of pong and I am loving it! Thanks, Adam!
