Steady
How still are your hands?
Everyone has a tremor
Even perfectly healthy hands are never completely still. Physiological tremor is a tiny, constant oscillation produced by your muscles firing, your pulse, and the limits of your nervous system's control. It is usually too small to see, but a sensitive measurement reveals it. Steady measures exactly that, summing every micro-movement while you try to hold position.
What changes your steadiness
Caffeine, stress, low blood sugar, cold, and fatigue all amplify physiological tremor. So does holding your breath or tensing the wrong muscles. The steadiest holds come from a relaxed arm, supported posture, and slow breathing. Athletes in precision sports like archery and shooting train specifically to lower this tremor.
How to score higher
Brace the side of your hand against a surface, breathe slowly and evenly, and avoid gripping hard. Tension does not equal control. Try holding on the out-breath, when tremor naturally dips. Comparing your score across times of day is a surprisingly honest readout of how rested and calm you actually are.
