I notice that in most of my casts, figure-8, underhand, and balearic, my shots tend to pull to the left. What parts of my form should I look at to correct this?
You can try two different things. Try setting your feet differently so you are pointing more to the right. Or, try accelerating the sling a bit sooner.
One thing that myself and others have been realizing is that hitting your target really just requires that you accelerate the sling at the correct pace throughout the throw. You only have so much range of motion to move, so by the end of your range, you're going to release the sling. If you go through the slinging motion too slowly, you'll miss left, and too quickly, you'll miss right (right handed thrower). The slinging motion that really counts is the power stroke or "pull", where most of the acceleration of the sling happens. So, if you miss left (late), start the pull a bit sooner, or maybe even just try throwing harder.
