Honestly, I found the lesson quite helpful, especially learning to do a spin serve and volley hand coordination which was pretty useful for my game. Though, I think adding more trick serves and ways to protect my body shots could really make a difference. Still, Baines' approach is quite steady, and I appreciate the detailed feedback. It’s given me some new tools to practice, and I’m hopeful about improving further. If you’re looking to refine specific skills, it might be worth giving Baines a try.

What I enjoyed most was how Evan adapted my tennis experience to pickleball, making the transition easier. The lesson was clear and well-paced, helping me grasp key concepts quickly. If you’re thinking about trying pickleball or want to build on your racket skills, Evan’s lessons are worth checking out. It’s a great way to get started and have fun learning.

Honestly, this lesson really helped me switch from tennis strokes to pickleball properly. Baines's approach made it pretty straightforward. Still thinking about working on my control, though, so I might sign up for another lesson soon.

Starting with a switch from tennis tactics, this lesson clarified strategy while I felt steady progress. Continued improvement is clearly on the horizon, and I’m energized to keep applying what I learned.

Nice blend of kitchen strategy and spin work. I’m energized by the hands-on focus and eager to refine technique further next lesson, especially topspin and backspin. Anticipating steady progress, too.

That lesson opened with strong cross court strategy, then kept the focus tight on execution. I felt supported as I reinforced what I’ve learned, and I’m ready for more while I’m buzzing a bit.

Evan is a great instructor. I played college Division 1 tennis at a high level so I am familiar with the basics. Evan is a very skilled player and coach.
