When doing emergency drills today I've noticed I had a serious flinch or twitch when the gun does not go off, the instructor said I was anticipating the recoil & had a gorilla grip on the pistol, Relaxed my grip & breathed but I still nose dive with it.
This is new to me as I've not had the problem before, have any of you long term shooters developed a Yip? (Yip is a golfing term for nervous twitch during a high stress moment, usually when Putting) |

There is a difference between a flinch and a muscular contraction to control the recoil.
If you are driving your shots low, probably have a flinch. If you are getting solid hits, you are probably just timing the recoil, and it is nothing to worry about. I've seen great shooters nosedive when they get a click instead of a bang. |

That's definitely a good point, which is why the classic "ball and dummy" routine has limited value. If your shots go where you want them on demand, I suggest that if it's not broken, don't worry about fixing it. |
