"Such a fun game to play. I'm hooked. Chong has taught me from the beginning. He's teaching me the skills step by step, not overloading me with too much information. There's so much to learn about the game and I'm glad I'm learning the skills in a progressive format. And it was fun beating the 'wall' in the wall drills, yeah !!!"
