What players say
I had a great experience getting my game analyzed by Slice Academy. The feedback was incredibly detailed and specific to what was actually happening in my gameplay, not just generic pickleball advice. He pointed out strengths I can continue building on, like recognizing attackable balls and creating offense, while also identifying areas I honestly hadn’t noticed myself especially my posture, footwork, paddle readiness, transition-zone play, and court positioning. What I appreciated most was that the feedback explained how those smaller habits are affecting other parts of my game, like timing, recovery, consistency, and being ready for the next ball. It gave me a much clearer idea of what I need to focus on if I want to keep progressing as a player. If you’re trying to improve and want someone to actually break down your game and show you what you’re missing, I’d definitely recommend Slice Academy. Really helpful, thoughtful feedback that gave me specific things to take back to the court and work on.
Shahaab is an awesome coach and someone I genuinely trust with my game. What I like most is that he doesn’t just tell you what shot to hit—he explains why and when to use it. He has a great eye for positioning, shot selection, patterns, and the mental side of the game, and he breaks everything down in a way that’s easy to understand and actually apply on court. He’s helped me become more aware of my decision-making and overall pickleball IQ while still keeping training competitive and fun. You can tell he genuinely cares about helping his players improve. Definitely recommend him to anyone trying to take their game to the next level.
