I found the lesson on dinking purposefully quite helpful, especially as someone still working on control at the net. Though I wasn't expecting such a focus, it really clarified how intentional dinking can set up the whole point. Kal's approach made me think differently about those softer shots, and I left with some practical ideas to try next time I play. Still, I hope to get more comfortable with the rhythm, but Iโll definitely stay optimistic about improving my finesse on those shot placements. If you're into refining your pickleball strategy, itโs worth giving Kal a shot.

Oh, definitely, Kal's lesson really helped nail down some fundamental mechanics and footwork, especially with the Norman zone application. Still, there's room for refinement, but I appreciate the steady progress. Guess I'll keep working on it.

Kal is an excellent coach. He makes it fun and is really passionate in getting you where you want to go. He gives very helpful feedbacks and helps you understand your strengths and weaknesses clearly. I got a lot out of my first lesson.

Iโve had several lessons with Kal. Iโm more confident with โdinkingโ and being at the kitchen line. Kal summarizes concepts covered during our 1:1 sessions. He gives me drills as โhomework โ between lessons. ๏ฟผ

Oh, Kal's lesson was quite helpful, especially with shuffling and the wrist breaks. The focus on switching drops and backhand dinks really clarified some movements Iโd struggled with before. Though I still need to work on resetting my ready position smoothly, I definitely feel more confident. Still, I think a future lesson could help me really lock in those techniques and improve my reflexes overall. If youโre into refining your pickleball skills, Iโd suggest giving Kal a shot so you can experience the benefits firsthand.
