Default Aim

Depends on what's in front of me. I use one of the old white plastic QB's that has a lot of spring to it but it is a hair shorter.

If I have to pass over the line, I'll try to aim for the numbers. If I have a lane, then I'll aim for the base (more area to hit) as the speed of the pass / spring keeps it from skipping and is just a low line drive.

Also, sometimes it depends on how the receiver is turned...if you have him at a profile, there's much less area to hit than if his back is facing you.

I guess, basically, just look for the combination of:
- Least chance of something bad happening (interception, batted at the line)
- Most area to hit

Then, as Roo says, just don't think from there...act!!

The other key to good passing, I've found, is to treat it like a free throw. Do the same thing every time at the same speed. Make a routine. That way, when you're in pressure situations, all you're doing is putting it on autopilot and following a routine.
