"Oh, I’d say Matt’s lesson was quite helpful. He was easy to follow and very patient, especially with my young daughter who's new to sports. Still, I think having a bit more time to learn the basics could make a difference. But honestly, I’m looking forward to working with him more because his knowledge really shows. If you're into pickleball and want someone who’s approachable yet knowledgeable, you might consider giving Matt a try.
