"Ethan gave great feedback and got me thinking about ways I can improve as a beginner! My serves are finally starting to land inside the box more consistently and I worked on more topspin on my ground strokes. Now that I know what I need to work on, I can’t wait to get back out there!

"Honestly, I was quite pleased with the lesson, especially how Dylan emphasized controlling the ball under pressure , that really helped me feel more confident during drills. Still, I think a bit more focus on position awareness could make the next lesson even better, but overall, I’d say it was quite helpful. If you’re looking to improve your touch and decision-making, Dylan might be worth trying out.
