"Ed was quite helpful, especially with my net game, emphasizing paddle control and passing on helpful tips like holding my ground and hitting down on lobs. Still, more practice on dinking and unattackable serves would be great, though I left feeling more confident. If you're interested in sharpening specific skills, Ed's a solid choice to try out.

I have been teaching people to play pickleball for over three years and love the excitement and fun of new players. I find tennis players and racquetball players and other paddle sports players quickly grasp the rules and need just a little coaching in strategies and shots to quickly become intermediate players. people without a sports background need more in-depth personalized coaching, which is my forte. I love helping people discover their inner jock for the first time and love how much fun even the most basic player has in pickleball. my lessons emphasize the fun while helping learn the basics.

"The lesson with Mesa was quite insightful, especially in focusing on fundamental techniques. Though I still need to work on my shot consistency, I’m feeling more confident about improving and might try another lesson soon.
