Angle 1: In this angle for my shot, I am easily able to spot the clear mistakes I made. The ball was brought up straight however, it is slightly a bit too much on the ball hand side which can certainly be proved. During the shot I was sure that my elbow, knee and toe were in the same plane but due to the help of this video it was very to spot out that they are definitely not in the same plane with the elbow not aligned very well with the toes. From this angle I am happy to conclude, that my shooting fingers are pointing down towards my toes after finishing. My elbow finishes close to my eyes, although it can be concluded from this video that the elbow can finish more closer to the eyes. One of the things I've always taken pride in for my shot is that my off ball hand always comes off, however, the release of the off ball hand is too early.
Angle 2: This second angle was a well awakening shot for me because of the important aspects I am missing in my shot. First things formal, I don't like the way in the video my two shooting fingers aren't in the middle of the ball which needs to be worked on. The 9 o'clock position of the off-hand is clearly there which I am content with. I released the ball with one hand which is certainly a positive to take from this angle. The off-hand is vertical at release but it can be improved by making it more straight. The off-hand is a bit rotated towards the ball which could result in not a straight shot or a shot with uncomfortable arc in the shot.
Angle 3: In this third and last angle, I certainly got into the shot very smoothly with knees and wrist cocked and ready to shoot allowing me to go into the shot much faster. The footwork is very consistent, but it can be improved by staying for on my toes to get a faster release and also spreading my feet a bit apart in order to achieve more balance while shooting. The ball is kept well in front of my body with nothing to criticize in that point of my shot. The shot release just like in the previous angles wasn't to well. To elaborate on this, when the ball is released, the elbows are not too near the eyes, where they should be in an ideal shot. The release of the shot has to be higher or even above the eyes. I lean also too back making it kind of an awkward motion when shooting, therefore the back has to be slightly less leaned back.
Conclusion - To conclude this analysis, it can easily be seen that in many areas of my shot improvement is much needed. My elbow, knee and toe have to be more on a straight plane, something I have to adapt and make a habit. When releasing my shot I have to work on having elbow finish closer to my eyes. I have to make sure that I am not shooting more with just one hand because consistently in the videos my off-hand comes of the ball a bit too early cause an off balance shot. I must also work on the off-hand's positioning when the shot is released by working on not having the hand point towards the ball. The balance when shooting has to be worked on by doing little things like spreading my feet a bit more apart and not leaning too back while shooting. These are improvements that I can make in order to become a shooter with consistent form.
