"Neeraj's lesson provided some useful tips on serving, which I appreciated honestly. Though there's still room to keep learning more, I found his approach quite straightforward and balanced. Still, I think focusing more on specific drills could help me improve further. If you're mildly interested in refining your pickleball serve, it might be worth giving Neeraj a try.
