The lesson had a good focus on drill work, especially on the third ball and kitchen line battles, which I think is pretty helpful for sharpening specific skills. Though, I’m curious to see how well I can transfer these practices into actual game situations , still, Gustavo’s approach seems to keep things practical. There's a definite emphasis on improving through targeted drills, which is useful, and I’m hopeful I can build on this in future lessons by simulating real gameplay more. If you're into detailed, strategic practice, you might want to give Gustavo a try.

Well, I guess I’d say this was a pretty good lesson overall. Bob really knows his stuff as both a player and instructor, and his calm manner made it easy to focus. I especially appreciated his deep knowledge of how to play winning pickleball, which definitely showed in the lesson content. Still, I’d like to keep pushing for further improvement and to get more exercise without risking injury. If you're looking for someone with a solid demeanor and expert tips, I’d suggest giving Bob a try.

Still, I look forward to building on what we covered and hopefully improving even more in the future.

I think Gustavo's lesson was quite helpful, especially since we concentrated on improving my forehand, backhand, and my serve and return of serve. Still, I believe I’ll benefit from more focused practice to keep progressing. Anyway, I appreciated the clear guidance and the way he pointed out specific things to work on , a pretty good experience overall. Though, I hope my next lesson with Gustavo will help me see continued improvement in my game.

Oh, I suppose I should mention, Gustavo's lesson was quite focused on practicing my serve, which was actually pretty helpful. The tone was steady, and I think I’ll be able to build on that. Still, I’d like to see more variety in the drill approaches, though I’m optimistic about seeing how my serve improves over time. If you’re looking to tighten up specific techniques like serves, Gustavo might be worth trying out.

I like that he’s positive and approachable, and I think building on what we did next time could take my game to the next level. Still, I’ll definitely try more lessons with him to keep improving my control and shot awareness.
