Honestly, I was pretty satisfied with this lesson, especially since I feel my shots are improving and I’ve got more control over the ball. Though I still need to work on handling fast balls near the kitchen, Eric's focus on technique was quite helpful. I’d recommend giving Eric a try if you want steady, practical feedback.

Eric is punctual, great at assessing my areas of improvement, and able to adjust where I need the most work. He’s flexible with scheduling and able to work well with me, since I was coming in with a tennis background. Thankful for his coaching.
