"That lesson was quite helpful. Brad's focus on consistency really stood out, and I appreciated how he explained the positioning technique clearly. Though I still have room to improve, I’m feeling more prepared to work on my shots. Still, it’s encouraging to see progress after just one lesson, hope to keep building on this with Brad’s guidance.
