Go onto their website. There's a good video with Goochy with tips on how to use.

I've been trying mine in the garden today, 3 into the ground 5ft in front of me and one over the fence. I was seriously lucky I didn't damage something or someone. Completely agree espocrespo, it's harder than it looks.

it just takes time to get use to it.  Practice with it like all things you cant be an expert straight away:)

Practice in nets is best after a little time it is easy you can even do slower balls and control in and out swing I find it brilliant
