Instructions

  1. 1Shoot from six spots and record whether misses are left, right, short, or long.
  2. 2If misses cluster left or right, check elbow position and guide-hand thumb at release.
  3. 3If misses cluster short or long, check leg drive and follow-through hold.
  4. 4Correct only the isolated variable and re-test the same spot for five makes.

What to focus on

Isolating the one mechanical variable behind a repeated miss pattern.

Common mistake

Changing multiple mechanics at once instead of isolating the true cause.
