"Oh, I’d say the lesson was quite helpful, especially with the good advice and games included. While I still need to get better at standing and technique, I feel encouraged to keep practicing. Eric’s guidance was steady, and I appreciated the focus on improving overall. If you’re looking to refine your pickleball skills, giving Eric a try could be worth a shot.
