Hey, I think this was my best lesson so far. We ended up playing a game with two other players, which was pretty helpful actually, and now I feel more confident about just jumping into a match. Honestly, I hope this is my last lesson since I’m pretty comfortable playing now, though I still need to keep practicing. Patrick’s approach really helped me get to this point, and I’d say it’s worth giving him a shot if you’re looking to step up your game.

Honestly, the lesson with Patrick was quite helpful. I was able to warm up, practice, and really get a feel for the fundamental skills in pickleball. Though I still need to learn more strategies, I feel like I've made a solid start and am looking forward to applying what I learned in a game. Yeah, it’s a good sign when I leave feeling motivated to keep improving, so I’d suggest giving Patrick a try if you want to develop your game gradually.

Honestly, Patrick's lesson on serving and racquet techniques was quite helpful, especially the focus on responding to short and long hits. Though, I still think a bit more reinforcement on the fundamentals could be useful, maybe playing some games to apply the skills in real scenarios. Still, it's a solid step forward, and I’d consider trying another lesson with him to build on what I learned today.

I'm really enjoying playing the game more, and Patrick's lesson definitely helped with that. He kept things straightforward, and I appreciated how he emphasized the basics that I tend to overlook. Though, I think I could still use some variety in drills, but I’m hopeful to build on what I learned. If you want a laid-back approach that still gets the point across, Patrick’s worth trying.

I think the lesson with Patrick was quite helpful, especially in refreshing my basic skills after my procedure. We played a short game which was pretty fun, and I finally learned how to score correctly. Still, I hope to play with a group soon so I can practice the skills I’ve acquired. If you're looking to get back into things or sharpen your game, Patrick’s a good guy to try.

That lesson was quite helpful, especially as I’m still learning how to play the game. Patrick clearly knows his stuff and made the experience pretty straightforward. Still, I think continuing to learn and refine my skills will take more practice, but I feel more confident now. If you’re up for steady improvement, definitely consider giving Patrick a try.

What stood out was how Patrick clearly showed me the basics of pickleball, like how to hold the racket, the right way to swing, and what to practice before the next lesson. His instructions made the game easy to understand and fun to learn. If you want to get started with pickleball, his lessons are definitely worth trying! 😊

Patrick’s session clicked for me, especially the high/low ball strategies and clever positioning for serves that you highlighted. I’m leaving with concrete plans for the 7-11 game and a sharper read on responses to close and far balls. I’m excited to keep practicing.
