"I’ve been playing pickleball for a little over a year now, and working with Jeff Kinlaw has been the single biggest reason I went from a complete beginner to a consistent 3.25–3.5 level player. I came in with almost no background in racquet sports and a lot of bad habits, and Jeff built my game from the ground up in a way that was clearly tailored to me—not a one-size-fits-all lesson plan. What stood out immediately was how closely he watched how I actually played. Jeff didn’t just teach generic drills; he identified *my* tendencies—how I approached the kitchen line (or when I didn't) , how I handled dinks under pressure, when I rushed shots, not to mention my footwork, then he designed each lesson around fixing those specific issues. Every session had a purpose, and I always walked away knowing exactly what to work on before the next one. As my game developed, so did his coaching. When I was brand new, he focused on fundamentals: grip, footwork, shot selection, and understanding the geometry of the court. Once I started improving, he shifted to more advanced concepts like third-shot drops, soft resets, positioning, and reading opponents. That progression is what helped me break through the beginner plateau and start winning consistently against better players. Jeff is also excellent at explaining the *why* behind every shot. Instead of just telling me what to do, he helped me understand strategies, like when to speed up, when to slow down, how to create pressure without taking unnecessary risks. That understanding has made me far more confident and consistent in real games, not just in drills. If you’re serious about improving at pickleball, whether you’re brand new or trying to move up from intermediate to advanced, I can’t recommend Jeff highly enough. His coaching is thoughtful, individualized, and incredibly effective. A year ago I was just hoping to keep the ball in play. Now I’m a solid 3.25–3.5 player with a real, repeatable game, and that’s 100% because of Jeff’s coaching.

We’ll still go over the basics - just to have the student re-iterate to me the three (3) basics phases of pickleball. All lessons include a dynamic flexibility stretching, cooperative dinking, then the lesson - lots more drilling, continuous drilling - whether it be long forehands, backhands, transition shots and of course NVZ.
