Level: Beginner•Lessons taken: 17
Honestly, I was pretty satisfied with this lesson, especially since I feel my shots are improving and I’ve got more control over the ball. Though I still need to work on handling fast balls near the kitchen, Eric's focus on technique was quite helpful. I’d recommend giving Eric a try if you want steady, practical feedback.

Level: Beginner•Lessons taken: 16
Honestly, I found Coach Eric's patience and clear explanations really helpful. I’ve seen noticeable improvement after just a few lessons, especially with his actionable feedback. Still, I think practicing my serve and return more consistently could make my game even better, but I’m hopeful to keep working on it. Would say, if you’re looking to sharpen your skills without the hype, Eric’s a good choice.

The lesson had a nice vibe and a positive attitude that made it quite a good experience. Eric's expertise really stood out, and I appreciated the relaxed yet effective approach, though I still think I could get better in everything. Still, I’m confident that with more lessons, I’ll keep improving and really get a handle on the game. If you're looking for someone with a good energy and patience, you might want to give Eric a try.

Honestly, Eric's lesson really highlighted how small details make a difference. He’s quite good at picking up on nuances, which I appreciated, though I’d love to see a bit more focus on strategy in future lessons. Still, I came away feeling more confident about my placement and control. If you’re into picking up on those finer points, I think it’s worth trying out with him.
