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

Question

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?

Takeaway from this thread – no one (in this thread) knows, but people have lots of guesses and vague explanations.

I suspect this is something where neuroscience is just not advanced enough to have a precise answer.
