When I got to the point where I could do it sometimes, it felt scary and sloppy and almost out of control. I then seemed to have a breakthrough when I consciously focussed on having a relaxed grip. I think the fear I was about to drop it (as you mentioned, it feels like you are about to fall the whole way through) meant I tensed up and lost any fine control. Once I relaxed it suddenly seemed to come easy. Have to say I now do U-Turns in the street without thinking about it. It’s very rewarding when I’m with others and they have to put their feet down.
But when I go back to the range I can’t say I get it right 100% of the time. I almost have to warm up to it. It’s definitely all my head though.
