"My lesson with Emmy was quite informative, especially since he analyzed my faults and focused on the basics like paddle control, follow through, and stance. Still, I need to keep working on integrating these habits into my play, though. I am not happy that AI or your website just summarized my previous feedback and said I could clear it all or edit it. Well, I listed just about every individual task that Emmy helped me with and it was summarized out in his review. Don’t have the time to list it all again. Whatever. As my 5 stars stated, Emmy’s lesson was awesome for me.
