The lesson highlighted key strategies that I can definitely build on, though I think I could use some resets to improve my consistency. Still, I feel more confident about my shot placement now. If you're looking to get a solid foundation and work on specific skills, I’d suggest giving Kip a try.

"I had a great experience learning pickleball from Coach Hegong Wei. With their clear and encouraging guidance, I was finally able to improve two areas I used to struggle with — my backhand and my smash. Both shots used to feel awkward , but he broke them down step by step, helped me correct my form, and gave me practical drills to build muscle memory. I used to lack confidence when switching to my backhand. Thanks to our lessons, I’ve made real progress and feel more well-rounded in my game. Each session was fun, focused, and tailored to my needs. Highly recommend for players who want to grow their skills.
