Level: Beginner•Lessons taken: 5•Verified ✓
The lesson was quite helpful in clarifying some basic forehand techniques, though I still need to work on consistency. Jay-ar's approach is steady, and I appreciate the focus on proper grip and footwork, which makes a difference. Looking forward to seeing how I improve with more practice. Still, I think a bit more emphasis on rally drills could be beneficial next time. If you're into tennis and want to really improve fundamentals, giving Jay-ar a try might be worth considering.

Starting with the absolute basics, I think Jay-ar's lesson was quite effective, especially since he emphasized building a solid foundation. Though I still need to work on my overall consistency, I appreciated how calm and focused he was throughout. I hope future lessons will help me strengthen those fundamentals further, definitely worth trying if you're aiming for steady improvement.
