When determining your target and landing, always select a specific target. This may sound like a simple task, but I see very few players do it. Selecting a very specific target makes the aim and alignment process much easier. The more specific, the easier it is for your brain to register and get the ball to the intended target.
Always select a specific primary target. The second palm tree from the left is my target. Select an intermediate target, such as a blade of grass or leaf, that is in line with your primary target.
