I do this a lot. Not a good habit, I know. I started trying something different this morning during my practice that seems to help. Instead of watching the OB head towards the intended pocket after contact, I started watching the CB. I’m thinking a lot of my movement has something to do with watching the OB head to the pocket.
I’m not trying to start another discussion about what to look at last before you shoot. What I’m talking about would apply regardless of whether you look at the OB or CB last before pulling the trigger.
This is a failed attempt at one of the drills I was practicing this morning. Still some movement here and there, but the feeling is much better.

My question for the instructors out there is, is this something you teach to students? I’m going to experiment more with it but I feel much more solid this way. I figure I’ve done all I can to send the OB into the pocket once I’ve pulled the trigger...it’s either going to go in or it’s not. Not watching the OB head towards the pocket seems to take some of the anxiety out of the equation for me and I feel more solid during delivery.
