Introduction
A conditioning drill focused on developing neutral wrist positioning and reducing unwanted torque during extended marker handling.
Key Points
- Builds stable neutral wrist positioning.
- Reduces torque caused by grip imbalance.
- Strengthens wrist endurance for long sessions.
- Improves fine motor precision.
- Supports all precision based drills.
Details
This drill reinforces stable wrist positioning while holding the marker in a ready stance. Players raise the marker and monitor both wrists for signs of rotation, collapse, or torque. Subtle wrist misalignment introduces directional drift and reduces overall stability.
Using slow, gentle repetitions, players practice briefly rotating their wrists outward or inward, then returning to a neutral position. Neutrality is defined as the orientation where the marker remains stable without tension.
Over time, players develop sensitivity to wrist strain and can identify when alignment begins to degrade.
The drill improves fine motor reliability and prepares players for precision based exercises requiring minimal motion.
