Though I still think I need to work on my positioning and shot placement, the lesson really gave me a good foundation to build on. I’m quite hopeful about improving, and I might consider another one soon to refine things further. Definitely worth giving Nick a shot if you're looking to get into pickleball. > From Clif, 5 out of 5 > The lesson with Nick was quite helpful, especially since he focused on core skills like volleys and dinking, which I really needed to improve.
