"I appreciated the focus on fixing my setup and takeaway. Alan's advice really made my swing feel noticeably smoother and more consistent. It was a pretty good lesson because Alan gave me tips and things to look out for to develop an even better swing in the future. Overall, I left me feeling more confident about my iron shots. If you're looking for someone who offers helpful good insights and feedback from watching you swing, and learning the fundamentals I def recommend Alan.

"“Justin is by far the best pickleball instructor I’ve worked with. As a beginner, I appreciated how proactive he was instead of just feeding balls and moving on. He constantly gave helpful feedback, explained the purpose behind each drill, and made sure I understood what I was working on. I learned more in one lesson than I had with other instructors. If you’re serious about improving, Justin is the coach you want.”
