Hi Muhammad,

To improve balance during shots:

1. Widen Stance & Bend Knees: A wider base with bent knees keeps you stable.

2. Small Adjusting Steps: Use small steps to position yourself instead of lunging.

3. Engage Core: A strong, engaged core stabilizes your body.

4. Controlled Follow-Through: Avoid over-rotating; keep follow-through smooth.

5. Practice Balance Drills: Try shadow practice and one-legged drills for stability.

These will help you stay balanced without falling after shots.

I hope this helps,

Cam
