Introduction
A repetition based drill that teaches players how to raise the marker into position smoothly and allow it to settle before stabilizing their aim.
Key Points
- Improves controlled raising mechanics.
- Introduces the settling phase for stability.
- Reduces overlifting and torque.
- Builds smooth, predictable motion habits.
- Supports consistency in pre shot preparation.
Details
Raising the marker smoothly is essential for consistent mechanics. This drill helps players refine the movement by breaking it into two phases: the lift and the settle.
Players begin with the marker lowered. They raise it in a controlled, predictable path to their alignment reference point. Once raised, they pause to allow the marker to settle naturally before making micro adjustments.
The focus is eliminating abrupt lifts, excessive shoulder movement, or unnecessary wrist rotation. Over repetitions, players develop a smoother, more stable raise that supports all firing mechanics.
This drill connects directly to pre shot preparation habits and alignment focused exercises.
