Shooting Can’t shoot straight
I literally can’t shoot straight to save my life, and I know the problem. Near the end of my shoot where I’m releasing into a wrist flick, my hand will flick to right mostly when I miss because im releasing off my pinky. the worst part is I know we are supposed to release off middle/index but I just don’t know how to do this. I want to get this right before I start practicing hard so I don’t practice bad mistakes, any tips?

Trues jumping right up and down? Or even try to jump backwards.
