"The lesson with Larry was quite helpful, especially his helpful feedback and patience with applications. Though I think more technical details about shot mechanics would add to the learning, I’m hopeful that future lessons will cover this area as well. Still, I feel like I gained a good understanding of the basics, and it’s made me more confident in my game. If you're interested in steadily improving, Larry might be worth trying out.
