My first lesson with Alan was very helpful, especially in how he taught me a one-handed push slice dink to replace my basic two handed backhand dink. I appreciated that he was clear in the communication and was able to breakdown a new movement step by step so I could easily pick it up. He emphasizes repetition and provided immediate feedback while practicing. By the end of the hour, I felt more confident in my backhand dinking. Highly recommend a lesson with Alan!
