"My husband and I had a great lesson with Russ! We are long-time tennis players and he had lots of good tips on how to transition to pickleball. He also has a wicked serve!! We are already looking forward to our next lesson!

The lesson really highlighted how patient and clear Coach is when explaining strategies and the game overall, which was quite helpful. Though I still need to keep working on my technique and serves, I feel more confident about the strategic aspects of pickleball now. It's pretty good to have someone who can break things down so well, and I think with ongoing focus on my technical skills, progress is definitely within reach. If you're looking to improve your game gradually like I am, I’d suggest giving Coach a try.

I’d say this lesson with Coach K was quite helpful, really. Breaking down strategy and explaining game tactics has honestly changed my view on how to approach pickleball. Though I still need to put these ideas into practice during real matches, I feel like it’s made a pretty big difference already. Just to keep improving, I guess I’ll keep working on applying those strategies on the court. Still, it’s encouraging to see progress and I’m considering trying another lesson with Coach soon.

Finding Russ's lesson pretty helpful overall. He was very knowledgeable, patient, and quite instructive, which made understanding the basics more straightforward. Though there's room to keep developing on racquet technique and strategy, I appreciated his approach and the clear guidance he provided. Still, I’m hoping future lessons will focus more on extra tips for gameplay tactics. If you're interested in solid basics and a thoughtful instructor, you might consider trying Russ.

The focus on specific mechanics really helped me understand my game better, though I still see room for refinement. I appreciated the calm, clear manner in which he explained things, making the learning process feel natural. Still, I might try more lessons to build on what I covered.

I found the lesson quite helpful, especially with the focus on controlling shot placement. Though I still need to practice more to really solidify what we covered, I think with consistent work I'll improve. Russ's approach was straightforward, and I appreciated the practical tips he shared. Still, more guided drills could make a real difference for me. If you're looking to refine your control, trying him out might be worth considering.

The lesson was quite helpful, especially in working on my serve accuracy, though I think I still need to improve my volley game. Russ explained some key strategies clearly and kept things pretty practical, which I appreciated. Still, I’m hoping future lessons will focus a bit more on footwork to really boost my overall play. If you're looking to get a balanced rundown of pickleball skills, you might want to give Russ a try.
