Angle 1:
In this shot, the ball is brought up straight on the shooting hand side, but my finger, elbow, knee, and toe are not all on the same plane. My elbow is 'chicken-winging' out, and my knee looks to be bending inwards a bit. My shooting fingers do point toward my foot upon finish. My elbow finishes close to my eyes, but it could be higher. It is hard to tell in the video, but I think that my off-hand needs to come off the ball a little sooner.
Angle 2:
The video is not the greatest quality, sorry, but I think my shooting hand is a bit off to the side. Being left-handed, by off-hand is at 3 o'clock. It looks like my off-hand was rotated a bit, that would cause the ball to be off balance because my other hand is pushing it.
Angle 3:
The footwork is indeed cocked before release, plus the footwork is consistent. The ball is also kept in front of my body. Since my head is pretty tilted, I am going to assume that my elbow is too low, as per usual.
Conclusion:
The three most important things that I need to improve are,
- A release with my elbow near/above my eye
- BALANCE, making sure my to be 'in line' for the shot
- The jump... I need to find a way to fix that. I jump forward on most shots, and that is a no-no.

Hey Little, I think to help improve your shot you could tuck your elbow in more towards you. Also if you could have more arc in your shot it would make a better difference. Overall you have a good shot and just those little things would show a huge improvement.
ReplyDeleteHi Mikayla. i think your left arm is slightly towards right after the ball released. i noticed that your right hand's elbow is not at 3 o'clock in angle 2.
