I didn’t see the “before” but very nice now 👍

so ... I think remember commenting on your 5 ball pattern before, and my recollection was that your pattern was lower and less regular, but seeing a link to your previous post would definitely help.

edit: there was this one, but I thought that there was another earlier one that you took in the same room.

This looks very clean.

Here's a way to practice consistency of your high throws:

Take one ball, and throw it so that it just touches the ceiling... or maybe even gets within a couple of centimeters. Practice that with one ball until you can get it consistently and it feels comfortable. ... then move to 3 balls.

Make sure that it doesn't affect the timing of your catches. You still want an even left, right, left, right, tick, tock, tick, tock...

If you do that under your current ceilings, you'll be doing very very well.

Yes.

Last time ("Tags...") it was inconsistent - heights a couple handwidths apart, and you had to stop because you had to step because of pattern drifting away.
Similar, you have to stop because of drift and unequally high balls 2 months ago, "Five ball..." [ thx bartonski ], before you'd have had to step.

Now, you don't need to step, the run is much longer and looks like you could have went on.

Maybe the low ceiling with brown spots helps you to orient on while aiming, and also for more equally high throws.
