"I would recommend John 11/10 times. He did more than fix my swing, he taught me the game on a whole new level. I came to John with a decent amount of experience and ability to hit the ball straight but inconsistently. John changed that inconsistency with very few of my shots being “bad” shots now. When I say John is a wonderful, interactive and talented coach I mean it. He made the game fun again for me instead of frustrating. I recommend him fully!

"Oh, I’d say Matt’s lesson was quite helpful. He was easy to follow and very patient, especially with my young daughter who's new to sports. Still, I think having a bit more time to learn the basics could make a difference. But honestly, I’m looking forward to working with him more because his knowledge really shows. If you're into pickleball and want someone who’s approachable yet knowledgeable, you might consider giving Matt a try.

He likes to play fast and strategic while I prefer to dink the ball a lot! His hand-eye coordination is also better than mind so he already has an advantage lol.
