    I will add that El Presidente is a really terrible drill to be able to specifically determine that your grip is causing an problem that manifests on the target. You have what sounds like movement into position, fast paced transitions, and then a reload with more fast paced transitions. There are a lot of factors there that can cause shots to consistently hit left that have nothing to do with your grip or trigger press mechanics. I honestly don’t know how an instructor can throw that one simple criticism out on a complex drill like that and really believe that he’s giving you an accurate diagnosis.

    Edited to add: Btw, over squeezing with your strong hand doesn’t cause shots to go left. If you are really causing the shots to go left with your technique, than you are doing any or all of the following: 1. Not pressing the trigger straight back, 2. Breaking your wrists before you finish pressing the trigger, and 3. Not gripping hard enough with your support hand (which is more of a bandaid to hide imperfections in your technique with 1 and 2).
