“How much pressure should I use on my dominant side?”

“How much pressure should I use on my dominant side?”
This question was posed by a @scotthess during a recent performance oriented course.
While the easy answer here may be,
“It depends”, this is a subject that is worth taking a deeper dive into.
My answer, generally speaking is, that oftentimes less is actually more.
Here we not only see the immediate results of reducing the amount of tension in the dominant side arm, but we also get the shooters perspective of what the root of the problem was. Gripping until you “induce tremors, then backing off til it stops” is advice we have heard before. That may work for some, but it’s not the most efficient way of doing things.
From a performance standpoint efficiency will trump trying harder, every single time.
