Oh, I guess you could say the lesson with Diego was quite helpful, especially with tips on improving my serve and feedback on my serve returns. It was pretty good, though I still think a bit more practice could help solidify what we covered. Still, I feel more confident about those aspects now, and I’d be interested in trying another lesson to really sharpen things up. If you're into improving your pickleball game, Diego's a steady choice to consider.

I think Diego's lesson really helped me understand some key strokes better, which was nice. Improving my consistency was pretty helpful. Though I still need to work on my placement, I feel more confident now and look forward to practicing more. If you’re considering a lesson, Diego is worth trying out.
