Flat Bag Consistency: Fix Wobble in Tight Spaces (Pool/Bar Leagues)

Summary: A flat bag comes from quiet setup and a late wrist. Small constraints beat big overhauls in tight spaces.

Setup that travels anywhere

  • Feet set, bag pre‑loaded, eyes on a front‑edge dimple—same ritual every throw.
  • One practice swing max. More swings = more variables.
  • Lower backswing to avoid ceiling/sign collisions; power comes from legs.

Release that stays flat

  • Cue: elbow leads, wrist last, palm to the sky. Let the bag roll off fingers, not pop.
  • Track “flat percentage” for 20 throws. If < 70%, slow down and shorten the swing.
  • Keep shoulders square; drifting feet create side spin.
