Stronger grip, that gun shouldn't be moving your whole arms and torso up. Watch some videos of the pros on youtube etc. There's a balance between locking up all your joints and being too loose, and you want to find that happy medium of strength without being rigid.
The fact that you got tore up and I’m getting downvoted shows what a fucking joke a lot of people on this sub are.
Anyway, you want to stay on target throughout. It’s tough to do more advanced stuff like bill drills if you can’t even stay on target one shot at a time, so that’s where to start. Here’s an example, first video that came up on YouTube search: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ri51nd1hutU&ra=m
Nah, they were right to rip into me. I was talking outta my ass for most of it. And disagreeing with the sentiment that the video showed weak wrists. I have since learned my lesson 😂😂
But, Kaesix is correct. Your wrists are either too weak or you’re allowing your body too move way too much - this ain’t an old western, Johnny Ringo. The goal is to apply just enough pressure with both hands to return your sights back to target as quickly as possible. No more, no less. Letting that muzzle flip won’t make that happen.
I think you’re both right actually instead of absorbing the recoil through his wrists he could tighten them and absorb recoil through his elbows leaving him with a bit of a better sight picture and faster follow ups
There is also the "limp wrist jam" that can occur. Semi-autos are designed such that if you allow the whole gun to recoil, the slide won't achieve a full recoil stroke, which can cause a failure to feed; and riding the recoil can prevent the casing from clearing the gun, causing stovepipe jams.
I found that out the hard way wit a Ruger LCP II of all things.
Mix a couple random snap caps in with regular rounds In the magazine and check if you’re moving the gun around in anticipation when the gun doesn’t go boom.
Gun should return to zero and be aligned for the next shot immediately after you shoot. It should not hang for a half second mid air aiming at that great unknow between the Andromeda constellation and Narnia before you remember that you're firing more than one round and slowly let it fall back level. There isn't that much recoil. That's literally you creating recoil.
This may not seem important when you're target shooting but it's a really bad habit that will take a lot of effort to break if you ever want to shoot fast and realize that you'll never learn to shoot fast by shooting slow.
If anything I would say maybe get the left hand a little higher and further forward just a bit so your thumbs are parallel and your left hand covers the trigger guard.
Relax man thats what you gotta do. You’re pulling the gun up with each shot. You shouldn’t look like dirty harry with his .44 when shooting a full size 9mm (or .40, or .45, or 10mm).
Just practice. Stance looks okay but being comfortable while shooting is key. I've been shooting John wick style for 20 years but it's comfortable for me, it's not for everyone.

Don’t let the gun move your whole upper body. You lose your ability to get back on target quicker when this happens.

I'd be interest to see how the grouping is, and to see how trigger control is going.

I think this comment is valid depending on caliber.
If he's shooting 9mm, yeah recoil management needs to be worked on.
If this is 45 or 10mm, I don't think he's doing too bad.

I got TORN apart the other day for disagreeing with this statement. After having someone break it down and actually explain it, correct.
You can move with the recoil somewhat OP but that much wrist and upper body movement shouldn’t be happening.

It's kind of jerking you around a bit, but you'll get better with practice. Good fundamentals.
