Patrick Shot Analysis

https://youtu.be/o89UcsFjjVU

Angle 1: Straight on- Camera under basket.  

• Is the ball brought straight up on the shooting hand side? No, because my arm moves slightly left or right.
• Are finger, elbow, knee and toe in the same plane? No, because when I shoot, my arm is moving sideways.
• Do the shooting fingers finish pointing down towards your forward foot? Yes, most of the time but sometimes It points at the right side.
• Does your elbow finish near or above your eyes? Yes, it finishes above my eyes but sometimes it has too much arc in my shot.
• Does the off- hand come of the ball just before release? Yes, most of the time.

Angle 2: Rear View- Camera is directly behind shooter.  

• Is the shooting hand directly behind the ball with the two shooting fingers in the middle? Yes and No at the same time because sometimes my index and my middle finger doesn't push the ball but my last three fingers do.
• Is the off-hand at 9 or 3 o’clock? 9 o'clock
• Is the ball released with one-hand? Yes, most of the time.
• Is the off-hand vertical at release?  Or is it rotated towards the ball?  What would this mean? Yes, it is vertical at release sometimes but my arm goes sideways to release power or try to make a basket and that means that your shooting finger was accurately straight to the basket.

Angle 3: Side View- Camera on shooting hand side.  

• Is the wrist cocked before the release? Yes and No because sometimes I forget to do it and make a bad shot or an airball.
• Is the footwork consistant? No it isn't consistant because my footwork is not yet repetitive for me and it doesn't come natural when I shoot jumpers. My foot work is also different from my freethrow and my jumpshots. My freethrow footwork is together and my jumpshots are wide or together. They change from time to time in a bad way.
• Is the ball kept in front of the body? Yes, most of the time.
• When the ball is released are the elbows near or above the eyes? Yes, but sometimes it has too much arc that it turns into an airball or a "lucky" shot.
• Conclusion: I suck at shooting because my footwork and my shooting arm is inconsistent because I try different forms out all the time.
