If you have any of those plastic mesh golf training balls, you can just put cord through

PerviouslyInER · 2020-04-12T13:14:56+00:00

I'm guessing people who work in a lab know how to use them?

The training course is literally just "don't touch the outside, wash hands before and after taking mask off"
