"Hey, I’d say Kevin’s lesson was quite helpful. I’m definitely seeing progress, especially with my serves, though I need to work more on my footwork and being ready to return the ball swiftly. Still, I feel optimistic about sharpening my skills with his guidance. Maybe more practice with dinking and ping-ponging the ball will help me get there. It’s been a good experience so far, and I’d suggest trying him out if you’re looking to improve your game.
