Tobi,
as a total novice in November, when I began going to lessons with Richard, I am probably not the most qualified to write on his skills versus other instructors. But all I can say is that I have enjoyed every minute, made rapid improvement over four months, and seem to be on target to be a respectable shot in competition within 12 months. He constantly looks to challenge you with significantly difficult stuff while you try and perfect the basics and that is what makes lessons varied and fun. It is testament to him that already (in a very brief career) the main barrier to my further improvement over the spring and summer months is not technique, or an ability to break individual targets, but mental discipline and self-confidence in competition, having not competed at a decent level in sports for over 20 years.
Go and have a lesson......!
