Introduction
A structured drill that strengthens posture stability by maintaining a controlled firing stance for extended durations, helping players reduce unwanted sway and upper body fatigue.
Key Points
- Improves stamina in the firing stance.
- Reduces upper body sway during extended holds.
- Builds consistency in hip, shoulder, and elbow alignment.
- Supports long term mechanical control.
- Prepares players for movement based drills.
Details
This drill trains a player's ability to maintain a stable firing stance without drifting, collapsing posture, or losing alignment.
Players enter a standard athletic stance with the marker raised. The goal is to maintain this position for a set duration typically 20 to 45 seconds per repetition.
Throughout the hold, players monitor three elements: shoulder level, elbow alignment, and torso stability. Any signs of leaning, collapsing shoulders, or drifting elbows should be corrected in real time.
The drill also trains breathing control, as steady breaths reduce marker movement.
Holding the stance builds endurance, enabling players to maintain posture more reliably during active gameplay.
This drill prepares players for movement drills by strengthening foundational motor patterns.
