Hi Masho,

The first thing is to realise that skills are developed over time and go through different stages.

When you are learning skills, initially you can do it in a practice situation.  It takes a while to get to a stage where you can do it in games.

If you think that you know the skill well and still can't do it in a game, it may be that you are tightening up in a game situation.  When you are trying these shots in a game, see if you are tightening in the shoulder especially.
