Joseph Bolo Shot Analysis
Angle 1: Straight on
Looking at this angle, as I shot the basketball, the ball is brought up straight on the shooting hand side. My fingers, elbow, knee and toe are in the same plane and all facing/pointing to the basket. But after the shot my follow through was not pointing towards the basket or my foot, it was pointing to the right almost going sideways. My elbow finishes near my eyes and as I follow through it moves away. The off hand does come off the basketball but sometimes it still affects my shot.

Angle 2: Side view
From this angle, my wrist is cocked just a little bit but as I bring it up I cock it back again making my release slower.. The footwork looks good, the feet pointing towards the basket. The ball is in front of the body on the shooting hand side and my elbows finish near the eyes.

Angle 3: Rear view
At this angle, my hand is directly behind the ball using the shooting fingers. The off hand comes off as the shot goes but it goes to the right a little bit and it does not come off straight, it doesn't look like it affected the shot though but it should be fixed. The ball is released with one hand straight to the basket but the follow through again goes to the right. The spin of the release of the ball looks good having it vertical to my arm making the backspin consistent.
Conclusion
After watching my shot from three different angles, different perspectives, I have a better understanding of how my shot really looks and how to improve it. In my opinion, my shot looks good but there's the simple things, the small details I have to pay attention to. For one thing, I need to have my wrist cocked even more to make my release faster and ready to let it fly. For another, I have to take my off hand directly off the ball and not move my hand to the right a little bit and also my follow through should be pointing straight to the basket and not off to the side. Lastly, I need to just practice the same form over and over again and not change it if it does not go in, paying to the small details can make a big difference for me.
