"Oh, Denny's lesson was pretty clear and structured, which I appreciated, especially the small actionable steps he laid out. Though I think there's room to improve his serving skills, I still feel more confident about my game. It’s nice how he explains things without overwhelming, and I’d consider trying another lesson to build on what I’ve started.

"I’ve been quite satisfied with the lessons with Mike, honestly. He’s done a good job pointing out areas where I can improve, and well, I feel like I’m making steady progress. The main lesson I took away was how important stance and swing rhythm are, which I hadn’t really considered before. Still, I think there's room for more focus on the finer points of my grip, but overall, it’s been quite helpful. Considering the improvement, I might sign up for another lesson soon, Mike’s approach feels pretty grounded and straightforward.
