    Any tips for consistently shooting with follow through?

    This is a GREAT example of a proper swing....8:15 timeline. The FSR overhead shot is VERY unique/not seen this camera angle before/love it, allows one to see the total body alignment/shot execution. We sure do have to unnaturally contort our body allot to ''line up'' Sorry Zar didn't do the...

    Aiming/Shot Line

    Nice BRKNRUN.... Try this.... do your PSR on a long straight in.... then rotate you back foot slightly, it shouldn't change ones balance.... slightly clockwise then counter clockwise, the results are Informative. Any rotation of your back foot, rotates your shoulder.

    Aiming/Shot Line

    I find it informative, practicing long straight in shots, then rotating my rear foot more clockwise, then less, to see the differences in shot outcome. Doing it this way has improved my long straight ins with just a slight change..

    Aiming/Shot Line

    Kaci.... when he stands back on the shot before his walkup, his heels touch/and he kick's out the right foot at an angle to the shot line.

    Aiming/Shot Line

    high heels often develop pain in the balls of their feet from the immense amount of pressure that is placed on them for long periods of time. I use the middle of my arch for my shot line. The ball is too forward for me to feel in balance, as is the heal to rearward. Ones shoulder is Directly...
