Introduction
A step by step introduction to keeping the marker stable during simple walking or shifting movements without introducing advanced shooting techniques.
Key Points
- Teaches how to minimize marker sway.
- Explains how to move while keeping the marker controlled.
- Covers coordinated upper and lower body movement.
- Helps players avoid unnecessary bouncing or shifting.
- Builds a foundation for future shooting while moving skills.
Details
Maintaining marker stability while moving is a fundamental skill that prepares players for more advanced mechanics later. At the early stage, the goal is simply to move in a way that keeps the marker steady and under control.
Marker stability begins with reducing upper body motion. Players should keep their shoulders relaxed and minimize unnecessary arm movements. Keeping the marker close to the body helps maintain stability and reduces sway.
Lower body movement should be deliberate and controlled. Taking smaller steps reduces vertical bouncing, helping the marker remain level. Wide, uneven strides often cause the upper body to shift more dramatically, which can make the marker feel unsteady.
Coordination between the upper and lower body is important. Players should allow their hips and torso to move together rather than independently. Sudden twisting or leaning can create instability.
The purpose of this fundamental skill is not accuracy while moving but predictable, balanced motion. These habits build the foundation for more advanced shooting on the move skills that appear in later categories.
