A highlight of the lesson was learning a new type of forehand, which added an exciting element to the session. John’s clear guidance made it easier to understand the technique. If you're looking to improve your game with fresh skills, his lessons are definitely worth trying out. This was an enjoyable and productive experience overall.

Just finished the lesson and felt steady progress, especially after that first burst of improvement on the 0-1 drill. Wow, I’m pumped to tighten the backhand next.
