Kevin,
thank you so much for your reply.yes its disheartening but as i said new movements take time and i will reap the rewards with time and effort both of which i have.
i'm due my 2nd lesson next week and i hope i can move on having accomplished the basic motion by then.already i have improved the motion a great deal by doing alot of work at home and chipping the floor of our dining area which my wife killed me for....
thanks guys for the help and encouragement in advance
