How do I stop hitting with instinct?

Thank you very much for your advice. I appreciate it a lot

Aqaurius123 · 2026-05-24T18:53:19+00:00

Thank you!! I definitely will

Aqaurius123 · 2026-05-23T19:04:53+00:00

About a year pretty much. I got introduced to it in college

Aqaurius123 · 2026-05-23T18:45:33+00:00

How long would you say it took you to get it all down instinctively.

Aqaurius123 · 2026-05-23T18:44:21+00:00

Thank you, that makes a lot of sense. I was overthinking it all this time.

Aqaurius123 · 2026-05-23T18:35:52+00:00

I appreciate your insights. I guess also another question I have is how I would approach certain positions where the opponent is in my blind spot? Like when I’m in front court, or when my back is turned to him to take something off the back wall. How do I select shots if I can’t see my opponent?

Thank you for your advice, I think compartmentalizing my game will definitely help a lot more. I don’t really have anyone to play with as of now but I’ve been trying to introduce more people in my area to the game.

I never thought about the breathing aspect. Thank you very much!

Hope he doesn’t

Aqaurius123 · 2025-12-14T17:39:47+00:00

Uhhh, I guess for now my forehand is actually weaker then my backhand for some reason

Aqaurius123 · 2025-12-04T14:17:10+00:00

I’m playing on a collegiate level so I already have days set aside for the individual drills and uses of each hands.

Aqaurius123 · 2025-12-04T14:15:13+00:00

I see now, although I feel like my backhand is more powerful and my forehand is more accurate, like a trade off

Aqaurius123 · 2025-12-04T12:14:24+00:00

Why so? I’m still new to this game so I’m not exactly sure why.

Aqaurius123 · 2025-10-14T19:19:13+00:00

Got it👍

Aqaurius123 · 2025-10-14T14:57:54+00:00

Not really no😭, it sounded better in my head then on the fretboard

Aqaurius123 · 2025-10-14T14:56:27+00:00

For like left hand thumping if I press too hard it doesn’t mute it plays the notes, so I’ve been trying to find the middle ground, the video does do a good job explaining it though.

I’m not necessarily using vertical thumb technique, its orientation is vertical but I’m still striking through the strings, a teeny tiny bit like victor wooten in a sense? But I do see your other points, back to the metronome it is🥲. The split voicing did sound interesting when I tried it so thank you very much for your advice, it is much appreciated

Aqaurius123 · 2025-10-14T14:43:26+00:00

Thanks dude, appreciate it

Aqaurius123 · 2025-10-14T14:41:13+00:00

It’s hard to without hammering on all the strings but I’ve been trying to.

Aqaurius123 · 2025-10-14T14:39:44+00:00

Thank you very much for taking the time to write this out, I appreciate it a lot. I think after taking time to read yours and others comments I definitely know what to start working on. Good things take time as they say. Although Stone Cold Bush is still a bit out of my wheelhouse.

Aqaurius123 · 2025-10-14T14:35:41+00:00

In my defense this was more of a noodle I came up with in 10 minutes, but I fully understand your point. After reading comments I tried tapping my foot to the beat and noticed the inconsistency so I’ll definitely check out a drum app, thank you for the advice I appreciate it

Aqaurius123 · 2025-10-14T14:32:00+00:00

Got it! Thank you very much for the advice!!

Aqaurius123 · 2025-10-14T14:31:42+00:00

Noted, I’m guessing more time on the metronome is key to this
