What students say about Russ

Finding Russ's lesson pretty helpful overall. He was very knowledgeable, patient, and quite instructive, which made understanding the basics more straightforward. Though there's room to keep developing on racquet technique and strategy, I appreciated his approach and the clear guidance he provided. Still, I’m hoping future lessons will focus more on extra tips for gameplay tactics. If you're interested in solid basics and a thoughtful instructor, you might consider trying Russ.

Have another question?

The lesson with Russ was quite helpful, especially in working on my pickleball skills at a comfortable pace. The focus on specific mechanics really helped me understand my game better, though I still see room for refinement. I appreciated the calm, clear manner in which he explained things, making the learning process feel natural. Still, I might try more lessons to build on what I covered. If you're looking for thoughtful instruction, I’d suggest giving Russ a try.
