"Oh, my last lesson with Alexis was quite useful, especially in learning three swings with my short irons, high shots, lower ones, and recovery. I focused on centering the ball on the face, a six-inch takeaway, and relaxing my hands. Still, I think a bit more work on driver consistency and short game would be helpful, but I’ve got some good foundation now. If you're interested, Alexis can definitely help build a broader skill set.

"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.
