We had a great lesson with Amit! He was very responsive in setting up our lesson time. It was our first lesson but we aren’t new to racquet sports—we needed to be quick learners for pickleball because we were playing in a tournament for the first time the next day! He was knowledgeable on all the rules and explained them very well to us. He covered all the important drills with us to set us up for success! We had a great time and he made the lesson super fun! Thank you Amit! Highly recommend A+++!

Hey, so I had a pickleball lesson with Bahman and I’d say it was quite helpful. He pointed out I need to sharpen my serve a bit more. Though I still want to focus on improving my backhand and better anticipating the ball during rallies. I liked that he gave me specific tips on those areas. Still, I guess I’m looking forward to the next lesson because I think I'll keep getting more confident. If you're into refining your game, maybe you could give Bahman a try too.

I really appreciated how patient Bahman was and how clearly he explained the rules during the lesson, which made the whole experience quite enjoyable. His professionalism and encouragement resonated with me, and it definitely kept practice fun. Still, I think there’s room for more focus on specific drills to improve consistency, but overall, I’d encourage others to give Bahman a try if they want a solid, encouraging pickleball lesson.

The lesson provided a decent overview of dinking strategies, though I was hoping for a bit more focus on shot placement. Bahman's feedback was clear and helpful, which made me feel more confident about my next practice match. Still, I think some more hands-on drills could really enhance the overall experience. If you're looking to refine your finesse with pickleball, Bahman might be worth trying out.

Oh, well, Bahman's lesson was quite straightforward, focused on the fundamentals, which I found quite useful. Though I still want to learn more about how the game works, I feel like I got a solid start with the basics. Still, it was a helpful step towards understanding pickleball better, and I might consider trying another lesson to build on what I’ve learned.
