In most cases, you want to pull your shoot as quickly as possible when you’re racing to the ground. You have much more mobility when your shoot is out compared to a free fall. Press Up on the analog stick to descend at a faster rate, and press down to descend slower. You can also press L1 and R1, or the right and left bumpers to use the air break and slow your forward momentum significantly.
