Introduction
A controlled precision drill that teaches players how to guide the marker smoothly onto a reference path without abrupt drops or angled corrections.
Key Points
- Improves smooth entry onto alignment paths.
- Reduces jerking or angled approach errors.
- Strengthens shoulder–elbow–wrist sequencing.
- Builds consistent alignment setup.
- Supports advanced movement-to-alignment mechanics.
Details
This drill teaches players to approach a visual reference path with controlled, even motion. Players start with the marker slightly away from the chosen reference line and move it onto the path using a smooth, predictable sequence.
The movement should begin with the shoulder, guided by the elbow, with the wrist providing final refinement. Players avoid 'diving' into the path or making sudden angled adjustments.
Once the marker reaches the path, players maintain a brief hold to confirm alignment, then move off and repeat the cycle.
This entry-focused drill builds the foundation for smoother transitions between mechanical movements and helps eliminate abrupt adjustments that disrupt precision.
