If you are looking for expert insight into this project, I'm not your guy. I could probably be a control line for the bottom of the barrel for ya!
Seriously, I am an extreme beginner. .
fuxin, lol !!. If you are what you describe as far as "extreme" beginner, alot of these drills will be absolutely brutal for you. Even down on the "C" level of the test, they will be pretty tough. And frustrating I would imagine.
But, if you have the stones to really focus on the drills and the commitment to work on them rather than just "smacking balls around" like most beginners do when they practice... you would stand to benefit more than probably anyone else. Im sure you've heard it, and if you haven't let me assure you... There is NO MAGIC button or lesson that will suddenly make you a run-out player... it takes work, and focus... but you want to improve at the fastest rate possible? Focused practice is bar none the quickest way to get there...
BTW, if your only a year deep I would suggest some simple fundamental lessons before diving into this... better to get it right first than to drill in bad habits... I'd like to have a clean slate again with my stroke/fundementals.... I will envy you that, now don't fuxer it up... lol. Get some evaluation on what your doing right & wrong... If you do both, your learning curve/skills will get better at a rate you will never believe.
