Oh, wow, so Cal went through all the techniques we've practiced in previous lessons, starting with soft dinking and then moving on to backhand strokes and volleys, it was pretty thorough. The new tech I picked up today was volleying, which was quite helpful, and I think with some confidence during games, I could really start to apply it better. Honestly, I feel like these lessons are steadily improving my skills, and I can see how focusing on specific techniques like volleys makes a difference. Still, I’d like to see myself joining the others more confidently in gameplay soon, though. If you’re into pickleball and want to keep progressing, Cal’s lessons might be worth considering.

I'm feeling pretty good about my lesson with Cal. We focused on my lab and smash defense, and honestly, I feel more confident than before. Still, I know I need more practice to really get better, but I appreciate that we'll continue working on my skills and habits when we meet again. Oh, and working on serves and returns with you is always helpful, every time I see you, I pick up something new, which is great. I guess what I’d like to see next is a bit more tailored to my current needs, maybe focusing on what I’m losing most points on, but I’m hopeful we’ll find the right topic soon. Overall, I think Cal’s approach really helps solidify good habits in a calm, straightforward way.

After my trial lesson with Cal, I have to say it was quite a helpful experience. He’s really knowledgeable about the sport and took the time to explain the rules clearly, which was great since I’m pretty new to pickleball. He carefully pointed out where my serves were off and showed me simple adjustments. Still, I hope to figure out a trick to serve more consistently to the target point in future lessons. Would be nice to practice more, but I’m optimistic about what’s ahead, Cal seems genuinely invested in helping trainees improve.

I'm happy with how my lesson went today, especially learning to generate more power through body movement, which I’ve always wondered about. The new positioning tips for serving and paddle grip are making a difference already, even in my backhand, which we haven't worked on yet. Though I still want to refine my control and footwork in future lessons, I feel like I’m heading in the right direction. Cal’s approach still seems pretty steady and effective, and I’d consider trying more lessons to build on these improvements.

Cal is a great coach and his lesson definitely highlighted some useful techniques I hadn't fully grasped before. Though I still have work to do on consistency, I'm hopeful that with more practice I can incorporate the tips he shared. Honestly, his approach feels quite practical and tailored, which I appreciated. Still, I think continuing with these lessons could really make a difference for my game. I’d suggest giving Cal a try if you're serious about improving your pickleball skills.

The lesson with Cal was quite thorough. I appreciated how patient he was in explaining everything, especially since I wanted to focus more on my posture and understanding the rules. Though I still need to refine some details, like my stance during volleys, the lesson provided solid guidance that I can build on. Still, I’m optimistic about future lessons and shaping my game further with his help. Seems like a good way to get better at pickleball if you’re serious about improving.

Actually, Cal's lesson was quite helpful, especially learning how to effectively use the backhand, which was a new aspect for me. Though I still need to work on gaining more confidence during games, I feel like this lesson gave me a good foundation to build on. The calm, focused approach really resonates with me and makes me want to continue improving. If you're interested in refining specific techniques without feeling overwhelmed, I think you'll find Cal quite helpful.

That lesson with Cal was quite helpful, especially the focus on controlling the dink and getting comfortable with the softer shots. Although I still need to work on my placement, I appreciated how Cal broke down those specific techniques, making it easier to apply on court. Still, I think future lessons could dive more into strategic shot selection, but overall, I feel like I learned a lot today and am looking forward to improving further with his guidance.

The lesson with Cal was quite helpful, especially since he really focused on some key techniques I had been struggling with. Though I still need to practice those areas, I left feeling more confident about my game. It was a balanced experience, and the lesson highlight about foot positioning really stood out. Still, more targeted drills might push my skills even further, but I think trying another lesson with Cal could be a good way to keep improving.

Level: Beginner•Lessons taken: 19•Verified ✓
The practice and drills from my lesson with Cal were pretty thorough, and I feel quite comfortable with what we covered, though I suppose repetition helps build confidence. Still, I think sticking with this approach could really help me integrate the techniques into my game naturally, and I like that he’s attentive to the details. If you’re looking to get more familiar with the fundamentals, it might be worth trying Cal for your next lesson.

I honestly found the lesson quite helpful, and Cal’s positive attitude really kept things relaxed. He helps with all parts of your game and makes it fun to improve , though I’d probably appreciate more of the same approach next time. Still, I feel like I left knowing my strengths a bit better and with some motivation to keep practicing. If you're looking for a coach who encourages you without pressuring, Cal might be worth trying.

Cal is a wonderful coach. The first session just ended, Cal was awesome to work with and I already feel a big change. During the first intro session, we touched on a lot of skills, but mostly focused a great deal on my backhand technique. I went playing a few games after it was over, and my backhand drives were so much more consistent and powerful (very exciting!). I look forward focusing on 1-2 specific techniques each session.

I found Cal's lesson quite good, especially because he helped me focus on the precision of long shots like serves and drives, which I really want to improve. Though I still need to get more consistent, I’m optimistic about building on what was covered. Still, a bit more emphasis on drills for shot accuracy would be helpful next time. If you're aiming to refine specific techniques, Cal’s approach is quite solid.

The lesson with Cal was quite helpful, especially because he offered specific insights into my pickleball technique, which I found pretty useful.

I’m hoping future lessons will be even more tailored to my needs, so I might give Cal another shot.

I’d say the lesson with Cal really helped my pickleball skills improve quite a bit, and that lesson’s highlight was definitely the way I felt more confident on the court.

If you're into consolidating progress and expanding your game, Cal’s approach is quite effective.

The lesson with Cal was quite focused on building instincts through drills that mimic match situations, which I found useful, though I’d like to see more technical nuances explored. Still, the tactical tips on constructing points were pretty helpful, and I’m hopeful that with more drilling I can boost my backhand attack in the net and overhead smashes, much like my forehand feels confident.

Cal was patient in correcting my old serve technique and, after just an hour, I saw real progress. I’ve got more consistent, deeper serves now and feel more relaxed during my movements, which is a nice change. Hopefully, I can keep building on this with some strategic tips he mentioned for quick improvement. If you're looking to sharpen your pickleball skills, it's worth giving Cal a try.
