Same here. I can spot bad tiller. Hinges, flat spots, weak limbs, etc. I just work to address those issue until they are fixed. Then, how does it shoot?  I think the less experienced we are the more apt we are to reverse those two. See how it shoots , and then address the tiller.

So with an arrow pass above center, the bow does not function symmetrically.  We know this and make adjustments to the tiller to account for this paradox.  Positive tiller as one example, and the bow no longer functions symmetrically.  But the limb TIMING...is symmetrical.  This after my 3rd cup of Joe this morning.  :)

+ 1 here I once found a (imho) very well made lab experiment about tiller changes regarding nock point and arrowpass position. It really helped me to understand some things a little better...

There is no asymetricaL bow. there is just a tiller. Here i agree with SLIMBOB. how your bow is shooting? The only importante thing by tillering is, the arrow must move strate when You draw the bow. :). No mater if the grip changes the angle when You draw.
