First we go through an exercise you can do at home that shows why a light pinch helps with accuracy, then I give you a tip to help you achieve that light pinch.
I've found that committing the " cardinal sin" of moving the ammo slightly rearward in my grip allows me to hold it and release it with much less pressure. I shoot better that way BECAUSE I don't have to pinch nearly as hard. I tried holding " on the bone" as lightly as possible for a long time....I shot well that way but did let some go before I was ready and was always worried about doing so. Moving the ball back didn't hurt accuracy and relieved tension in a lot of ways. Love your videos. The thoughtful analysis and presentations are truly unique and are a must watch!
Great tip, I can see that for finger tip shooter, but I’m back closer to the middle of my finger. I wonder if it’ll still apply. If it does, and I mix this with my release style, I’ll bet it’s deadly.
@@backyardslingshots5631 I actually pinch between my first two finger knuckles when I'm actually shooting, I just did the fingertips for demonstration purposes. It definitely makes a difference for me there too.
Y'all are absolutely right, there are a couple of times that it sticks to my finger, I think probably because I held it for longer than I usually would because I was talking. I noticed it after I posted the video, but I chose to keep it because it doesn't change the lesson. Over gripping will throw your shot, potentially for multiple reasons. Sticking to your finger may not be the primary reason, but it can happen and it's something to be aware of.
Small details that make big differences.. Thanks my friend
Great info
Great Tip! Going to try it

Great tip to smooth out a release.
Good stuff man!
You're doing a great job, mate.
Hhh thank you. It helps ❤️

@@lindersucks ok, gives me something to think about. I’m pinching more in the middle, so I’m well behind the knuckle
Did you consider that the ammo might stick to your finger due to litte sweat or grease. Did you try it with a glove to simulate the pouch?
My thoughts exactly. You can see it when he releases that the ball sticks to one of the fingers before it drops.
