Controlled Endpoint Precision and Stop Discipline Drill

A precision drill that trains players to stop the marker exactly on a designated visual endpoint without overshooting, drifting, or correcting too abruptly.

Introduction

A precision drill that trains players to stop the marker exactly on a designated visual endpoint without overshooting, drifting, or correcting too abruptly.

Key Points

  • Improves controlled stopping accuracy.
  • Eliminates endpoint overshoot.
  • Strengthens fine-motor stop discipline.
  • Refines shoulder and elbow deceleration control.
  • Supports precision targeting fundamentals.

Details

This drill teaches players to stop the marker at a precise point without drifting past the endpoint. Players choose a fixed visual marker, such as a dot or corner. Starting from a short distance away, they move the marker toward the endpoint and halt exactly at the designated spot.

The stop must be controlled not reactive. Overshooting the endpoint indicates excessive wrist movement or poor deceleration timing.

Players are encouraged to slow their approach in the final centimeter of motion, allowing the elbow and wrist to perform subtle adjustments.

This drill builds the fine-motor stopping discipline required for precise alignment and prepares players for slower, advanced accuracy-based training.
