I'm pretty pleased with how the lesson went, especially focusing on the forehand and backhand slice, which are starting to feel more natural. Though I still need to practice those slices more, Marcellus's guidance was quite helpful in clarifying some of the specific mechanics involved. I think with a bit more work on my part, I'll get the consistency I’m aiming for. Still, the lesson definitely gave me a clearer understanding of the techniques, and it feels like I’m on the right track. Hope to keep building on this progress with Marcellus.

Oh, the lesson with Marcellus was quite solid, really kept me moving with those rallies, and I managed to hit some back-and-forth shots that felt pretty good. The highlight was definitely staying engaged and working on consistency. It’s nice to have a coach who challenges and pushes me, and I feel like there's room to build on this foundation. If you're into steady improvement and keeping your footwork sharp, you might find Marcellus's coaching worth trying.

The lesson really highlighted the valuable techniques, which I found quite helpful, though I still think I need to learn more methods to really boost my game. Marcellus's approach is quite practical and down-to-earth, making me feel more confident about my technique, but there’s definitely room for me to improve further. Still, I’d be open to trying another lesson with him, especially to refine what we covered.

The lesson was quite effective even with my knee injury. We adapted the drills to reduce pressure but still kept it very productive. I feel a lot more confident with my slice now and am hopeful about working on the drop shot next time. I think a bit more on forehand slice would help me improve further. If you're after a thoughtful coach who adjusts well to your needs, definitely consider trying Marcellus.

Honestly, the lesson with Marcellus was quite good, especially since we focused on advanced techniques, which I found pretty helpful. Though I still need to work on commanding the zones better, I feel like I picked up some useful insights that I can build on. Still, I think continuing to learn more advanced techniques will really help me improve further, so I will continue learning from Marcellus.

Honestly, I think this lesson really highlighted the new techniques I’m learning, especially how to serve better, which was quite helpful. Marcellus’s approach makes it easy to stay focused, though reinforcing what I’ve picked up will be the next step. Still, it's good to see progress and feel confident about moving forward. If you’re curious to try, Marcellus’s lessons are worth considering.
