Here is a tip I learned from Master Lambert to become more accurate at hitting points.
Hang a tennis ball from a string from the ceiling. Mark the tennis ball with several dots about the size of a dime using marker or pen.
Start the ball swinging and try to hit the marks you made on the ball.
It is very frustrating at first but continuing to train will greatly increase your accuracy for hitting a moving point.

The string has to be long (4 feet) it must be taped not struck and the ball must dent when taped. When that gets boring do it right left right handed and when that gets boring switch hand forms with every strike. the training is for general target striking, not for learn to hit strike points. but it is a start. do this first then there are other train methods for striking the points.

Wow that's actually very good advice i wouldn't have thought of that and it's good for conditioning your fingers and the tennis ball is somewhat hard. thanks for this tip i appreciate it.

You need too much dedication to do all this really.

There is no such thing as too much dedication when it comes to real martial arts training.

How do you know if you've hit the right point on a tennis ball? It's not very big so if you put dime size targets on it, (unless you mean only 1 dime sized target?) how do you know if you've hit your target? I don't think a tennis ball would collapse on impact if it's hanging on the end of a string. Haven't tried, though.

You can use chalk and put good heavy dot on it.
When you hit it, it will leave some chalk on you.
Its also not necessarily a matter of hitting the dot. If you try this you will get a good feel if you hit the ball correctly by how the ball move. for example if you miss the ball complete this one is obvious. If the ball bounces at a strange angel then you will feel that you did not hit the point correctly.
Let me know what you think if you decide to try it.

Got it....You are much more descriptive. Do you ever practice on a partner? I mean, start with light contact, and progress gradually?

Absolutely we practice on real partners. The tennis ball and other training methods are helpful but none of them have the same reactions, and motions as a real person.

Has hitting the tennis ball helped your accuracy hitting your partner?

I beleive the tennis balls has helped quite a bit with the timing and accuracy. But they are no substitute for a real person.
