pulling funny stuff like that is a cheap fix to a larger problem. the larger problem is that you can't control how you jump, so, to make the distance, you overshoot. why it's a cheap fix is because you're just messing with proper jumping technique and not getting the same amount of power, so at a specific distance your prescisions will work. only at that distance though, so it would be better to just improve your jump. besides, improving your jump will improve your overall 'game', which is better than training prescisions solely because they aren't particuarly useful
