"Actually, this lesson really helped me get a better feel for backhand volleys near the net, even though I still have a ways to go with the backhand slice. The strategies Chris shared were quite useful, and I think I can build on that with practice. Though I’d like to see more consistency in my execution, I’m optimistic about improving further. If you're looking to refine your pickleball skills, especially around the net, I'd definitely suggest giving Chris a try.

I've written songs for and been featured on a number of releases, and played in all sorts of venues, from dance halls to basement punk shows.

I'm comfortable with any style of music and any level of experience, having taught everything from Gordon Lightfoot to Polyphia. Looking forward to hearing from you!
