"I loved how Derek quickly improved my kitchen game by helping me change my grip and develop a natural two-hand backhand. He also taught me how to block effectively between the kitchen line and back line. These adjustments have definitely raised my level of play. If you want to sharpen your skills, Derek’s lessons are worth trying! 😊🏓
