How are we able to calculate how far we’re able to throw things extremely precisely?

For example, if you’re standing 20 feet away from me, and you tell me to throw you a ball, how is my arm able to generate almost the exact amount of power required to throw the ball 20 feet? How and where does this “calculation” happen?

It is part of our learning – but our brains are wired to understand this very well. So really our brain just needs to get tuned – to our body.

Have you seen monkeys throw scat? They do not exactly go out and play catch, but they can it you in the face over 20 feet away.
