"Eshan's lesson was quite helpful, especially noticing how my backhand and forehand improved after a couple of drills we focused on. Still, I think with a little more refinement, I could see even better results if I keep practicing those techniques. Though it's been a positive experience overall, I might try one more session to fully get comfortable with the adjustments.
