English term or phrase: taking dead aim
“Once you address the golf ball, hitting it has got to be the most important thing in your life at that moment. Shut out all thoughts other than picking out a target and taking dead aim at it.”21 His point to golfers about taking “dead aim” is also applicable to advertising creatives: you can’t hit a target unless you know where to aim!
