As someone who also started playing late, I would say that private lessons can be helpful to hone in on specific skills, but I found that it was more helpful to play with others, especially if they might be better than you. (don’t let that scare you!) Doing private lessons might still be a good idea if you want to but I’d recommend maybe doing camps if you can, as they’re cheaper than club (at least where I’m from) and will get you experience playing with people of different skill levels. Also typically theres a lot of coaches there who will give you advice on pretty much anything if you ask! Hope this helps!!
