Arc of movement in 10 circle

Post by ForceAwakens »

Any idea how long it takes to get the minimum arc of movement in the 10 circle? Do we need to do any specific holding exercises for it? I generally perform 20-25 second holds for 30-40times as part of holding exercises. My current arc of movement is in the 8-9 circle, depending on the day. Pls do share your experiences. It looks like an extremely elusive target to me. This is for 10m AP
Going through a year long series of training, wrist-pain, injury break cycle. Finally started working with a physio. Seeing some positive results - so a step in the right direction. This will help get it in the 9 circle in a few weeks. But need to do better

IMHO very few AP athletes will ever achieve this.

There are two arcs of movement. You can consider these as one angular, and the other parallel to the axis of the origin in three(or is it four?) - dimensional space. We can probably disregard quantum field theory in this case, so 3D space.
Angular errors come from things like wrist movements or trigger release movements whereas the parallel errors come from things like sway, bob, weave, etc.

In my experience the angular errors cause me way more grief than parallel ones. You shouldn't be training to the point of an injury, either; in my experience that is not a good idea.

Practice by dry-firing. It is quite boring, unless your approach it in a philosophically safe manner -- that is with the goal of growth. You could read Warren Potter's guide on the subject:

If you can afford one, an electronic trainer is a huge help. It will not only show you exactly how big your wobble is, but WHEN it is least wobbly. It also makes dry firing a lot more interesting...

I've watched Zurek training on a machine....unreal! Obviously, it's triggering you need to be concerned with.
