I loved the tips Sam provided, especially the one about keeping my left foot forward when taking a forearm shot. This advice is something I’ll definitely use moving forward. The lesson had a great flow and kept me engaged from start to finish. If you’re looking to improve your game, Sam’s lessons are worth trying out! 😊

Sam’s ability to break down pickleball concepts into digestible bit was excellent. He improved my ability to choose between drops and drives, and he helped me further develop my spin and angles. With his help, I’ll be winning tournaments in no time!
