"Hey, so far, I’d say Daniel's lesson was quite good. I appreciated that he recognized my errors and corrected them without fuss. Though I’d like more correction and rally practice next time, I still felt it was pretty helpful overall. Honestly, it’s rare to find someone who can really spot those mistakes effectively. Definitely worth trying if you're looking for tailored guidance and clear feedback.

"Kibom was great!!! He gave such great explanations to everything. His instruction was clear and he gave examples that made me understand better. As much as I’ve learned pickleball already, he taught me the correct basics I need for a better foundation! He taught me correct stance, grip, and footwork. I’ve been trying to do topspin and he taught me what I need to know! I appreciate his patience with me. I would highly recommend him!!

"Just finished my fourth lesson and I’m already seeing huge improvements. Coach has this way of teaching that just clicks - the fundamentals are starting to feel natural, my stance is solid, and my combinations are getting smoother. I was throwing wild punches in lesson one, now I’m actually boxing with proper technique. Can’t believe how much I’ve learned in such a short time. Really excited to see where I’ll be in a few months if this is just the beginning.

As a Mexican American born and raised in Alhambra, California, I have deep roots in this vibrant community. I attended Alhambra High, ELA College, and Cal State LA, where my initial sporting journey began with baseball. However, it was Tiger Woods who inspired my shift to golf, a decision that has taken me around the world. I've played on 342 different courses globally and relish the opportunity to teach this fantastic game to players of all levels. Fluent in both English and Spanish, I'm always ready to offer lessons, play a round, or practice at the range. With a current handicap of 5.9 with the SCGA, I'm dedicated to both improving my game and helping others do the same.

He clearly explained the reasoning behind grips, the importance of stance, and why following through with each return matters so much. As well as building up a mental attitude when in a game.
