40 yard Dash Staying in the zone

Hi I'm also trying to get a 4.2X time in the 40 yard dash but I can only get between 4.43-4.46. I put my hand back at the start. I hit the zone at about the 30 yard line but I lose the zone at the 35 and I end with one of the 4.4 time. I concentrate on alternating the sticks down but can't stay in the zone long enough. Any Help will be appreciated.

Try to continue a fluid motion on the sticks. Once you get in the zone try to keep the same speed alternatingthe sticks. I've used Ocho and ran a 4.2 flat on all-pro. I have also ran a 4.21 with hester and a 4.21 with Ginn.

I did it 4.27. What helped me the most was I stood up while doing the drill. Standing helped me to control my controller better and I stayed in the zone. My time started to down I had a 4.34, 4.30, and 4.32 also I have this drill down thank you

Re: 40 yard Dash Staying in the zone

do guys use your thumbs while doing the 40 yard dash? I use both index fingers I bend each finger on the top of each analog and just pull down. I have gotten 4.31 with Ginn and i think thats my best. Is this how everyone else does it?

Re: 40 yard Dash Staying in the zone

I've had the exact same problem, Ive been in the zone like 40 times and I can never stay in it even though I'm doing the same thing!

I use my thumbs, I can get a nice rhythm with index, but I end up hitting the stick crooked alot of time so the guy trips.

Faizon, Work on your getting the rythm down first. Then Increase your speed. That helped me also.
