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 I’ll definitely stay optimistic about improving my finesse on those shot placements. If you're into refining your pickleball strategy, it’s worth giving Kal a shot.

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.

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.

I’ve had several lessons with Kal. I’m more confident with “dinking” and being at the kitchen line. Kal summarizes concepts covered during our 1:1 sessions. He gives me drills as “homework “ between lessons.

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 I’d 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 you’re into refining your pickleball skills, I’d suggest giving Kal a shot so you can experience the benefits firsthand.
