I'm quite satisfied with how these lessons with Shayan have gone. He consistently encourages me to build on my existing skills, and I’ve seen steady progress. Though I still need to work on my backhand’s consistency and power. I feel more confident that I will get better at returning volleys with better accuracy. His approach helps me refine specific aspects of my game without feeling overwhelmed, and I’m beginning to see improvements there. Still, I look forward to further sharpening those shots and strengthening my overall game with his guidance. Well, if you’re interested in focusing on your skills and enjoying practical advice, Shayan might be worth trying out.

Shayan's lesson was quite good, especially the verbal instructions. He really helped me stretch my abilities and see what I need to work on. I would say improving my ball placement and footwork could make a noticeable difference, and starting on two-handed backhand might be the next step. It was a solid lesson that gave me some useful insights. If you're looking for a grounded approach to pickleball with some helpful guidance, maybe give Shayan a try.

Hey, the lesson with Shayan was quite enjoyable. We started to incorporate up spin into our play, and honestly, it’s pretty fun to experiment with. Although I still want to see how everything works in a full game, I feel like I’ve got a better grasp on some techniques. Still, there’s always room to sharpen those skills even more. Considering where I was before, I’d suggest giving Shayan a try if you're into developing your game thoughtfully.

The lesson was quite good, especially working on my forehand drop and tactics for moving up to the kitchen, though I think I could still improve my backhand drop into the kitchen. Still, I feel like I'm making steady progress and Shayan's guidance is quite measured and practical. Maybe next time, focusing more on my backhand would be useful, but all in all, I'd consider trying Shayan again.

Oh, Shayan's lesson was quite helpful, especially with the focus on proper paddle positioning and shot consistency. I’d say the improvements in my control are noticeable, though I still hope to get a bit more comfortable with footwork. Still, it’s made a difference and I’m looking forward to building on what I learned. Would be interesting to try another lesson soon.
