If so, which resources (dvd, book, etc.)are absolutely essential? <BR/><BR/>I ask this because I'm sure that I have imbalances, but there is no screener (that I'm aware of) that's closer than a 5-6 hr drive from here. <BR/><BR/>Of course I know that ultimately there's no substitute for being screened in person by an experienced screener (which someday I will do), but I'm trying to find a way work with what I have available right now. <BR/><BR/>Thanksjohnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00037951841433796581noreply@blogger.com
