Jonny is honestly an incredible pickleball coach. From day one, he’s been unbelievably patient and takes the time to really break everything down in a way that actually makes sense. He doesn’t just tell you what to do—he explains why you’re doing it, which has made a huge difference in how quickly I’ve improved. Over the past two months, my game has improved more than I ever expected. My technique, consistency, and overall confidence on the court are on a completely different level, and that’s 100% thanks to him. He creates such a comfortable learning environment, never rushes you, and adjusts his coaching style to exactly what you need. You can tell he genuinely cares about helping you get better. If you’re thinking about taking lessons—do it with Jonny. You won’t regret it.

The lesson with Rowen was quite good, especially because the instructor made things simple and corrections were made quickly when errors appeared, which helps keep the flow steady. Though I’d like to continue at the same pace for now, I felt pretty confident about the clarity of the instruction. It’s clear Rowen understands pickleball well and keeps things practical, which I appreciate. Still, I think as I improve, I might be looking for a few more advanced tips, but overall I’m glad to have taken this lesson. If you’re into really getting the fundamentals down, I’d suggest giving Rowen a try.

Level: Beginner•Lessons taken: 37•Verified ✓
Well, Rowen's patient and observant approach really stood out during the lesson, especially with his clear instructions on improving my game. Though I still need to work on quick responses for fast volleys, I appreciated his ability to point out exactly what to focus on. His way of guiding makes me feel like I can actually get better at pickleball without feeling overwhelmed. Still, I wonder how much more I can improve with more practice, but overall, Rowen's lesson offered a solid foundation. If you're looking to sharpen your skills, it might be worth giving Rowen a try.

Hudson B.Verified ✓
Level: Beginner•Lessons taken: 5•Verified ✓
Rowen’s lesson was pretty good overall, I’d say. He’s definitely got a solid grasp of pickleball techniques, and you can tell he knows his stuff. Still, I think I could see some more progress in my game with more sessions, but it’s a promising start. His approach was calm and straightforward, which I appreciated, and I liked how he explained things clearly without sounding overbearing. Quite helpful, though I’m hoping to tighten up some of my shots next time. Anyway, I’d suggest giving Rowen a try if you're looking for a knowledgeable coach who’s easy to work with.

Oh, I gotta say, the lesson with Rowen really helped me get a better insight into my bad habits, which was pretty eye-opening. The progress on my pickleball IQ and building more consistency feels promising and gives me a reason to stay motivated. Though I still need to put in the work, I appreciate how tailored the advice was, and I’ll probably try to focus on those areas between lessons. Still, I think with a bit more practice, I can really see some steady improvement. I’d recommend giving Rowen a shot if you're serious about leveling up your game.

Jonny was amazing! Super helpful, patient, and really great at breaking down the fundamentals. He helped me understand not just how to hit a backhand and generate topspin, but why those shots are so important strategically. That kind of coaching makes a big difference. The courts were pretty full, which was the only minor hiccup, but Jonny handled it like a pro and even gave me extra time. Highly recommend him if you’re serious about improving your pickleball game!

Level: Intermediate•Lessons taken: 5•Verified ✓
The lesson helped me focus a bit on my serve, drive, drop and some back hand practice, I do still need to work on consistency. Jonny’s approach is pretty straightforward, and I appreciated the practical tips he provided. Next time, we will focus on backhand techniques as it is one of my identified weakness. Thanks Jonny, I really appreciate your assistance towards my goal of playing for Jamaica in the ladies over 50 division. L. Fough, RN

Rowen’s lesson was quite insightful, really highlighting his deep knowledge of pickleball. I appreciated the focus on the finer points of the game, and while I still have room to improve, I feel more confident about my technique now. Still, I look forward to further lessons to really master those details. If you're interested in sharpening your skills, definitely consider trying Rowen.

Wow, Rowen's lesson really stood out because of the excellent focus and communication. Though I still have room to build on what we did today, I left feeling quite capable on the court. Still, I think some more practice will help, but it was a solid step forward overall. If you're into improving your pickleball skills with a thoughtful approach, I’d suggest trying a lesson with Rowen.

The lesson with Rowen 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.
