No matter where it is-the left hand, right hand, shoulders, neck, back, jaw, left arm, right arm-tension will slow you down and cause you to make mistakes. However, if I had known about this practice technique back then, it would never have been a problem. I was never confident that I would always play it cleanly. Here is a passage from Fandanguillo (Joaquin Turina) that haunted me for years in concerts. Practice the whole process every day for a week, and return to it periodically even if you think you mastered the passage. Go back and forth until you are fully confident of the corrections you applied. Then play a few without the pause before the problem spot. Do one or two repetitions slamming on the brakes before the problem spot. All your focus should be on playing that one element perfectly. Don't play even one extra note past the problem spot. So, don't hesitate BUT stop on the problem spot-do NOT go on.
