"That lesson with Edward was quite helpful. I appreciated how he explained different strokes, which made the techniques feel more approachable for me. Though I still need to improve my footwork, I left feeling pretty encouraged about future progress. Still, I’m optimistic that with more lessons, I’ll keep getting better at reading the game, and Edward's guidance definitely made a difference. If you’re looking for someone who offers clear, practical advice, Edward’s lessons are worth considering.

"Allen is a great coach who I was able to learn from pretty much immediately. His verbal and visual cues were working for me to identify immediately where my problems areas were coming from. He took a brief moment in the beginning to understand what my goals were and was able to quickly understand what level I was playing at. Overall will be good to see how I progress through my ongoing lessons with Allen
