Hey, I’d say the lesson with Nick was quite helpful, especially in understanding some of the basics better. Though I still think I need to work on my positioning and shot placement, the lesson really gave me a good foundation to build on. I’m quite hopeful about improving, and I might consider another one soon to refine things further. Definitely worth giving Nick a shot if you're looking to get into pickleball.
