"Justin is absolutely amazing! He is a really nice and pleasant guy, and super professional. I had private lessons before but I never felt that I improved so much like I did with Justin! Justin paid close attention to how I stand, move, and hit the ball, and gave me direct feedback during the lesson. I was so excited to feel how I’m improving throughout the lesson, and can’t wait for my next lesson with Justin!
