Angle 1: Straight on- Camera under basket.

On the shot the ball is brought up on my shooting side with one hand. My two shooting fingers kind of went off to the right after the release of the ball, messing up the follow through and causing the ball to not go straight. I released the ball at the right time but i need to work on finishing higher and bringing it up more on the side parallel with my shooting shoulder and knee instead of bringing it to my face.

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

The shooting hand is directly behind the ball in this angle and release just at the right time. i have my off hand in the right spot on the ball, on the side so it doesn't interfere with the ball but kind of guides it. I release the ball with just the shooting hand but I need to work on finishing higher and with my follow through towards the rim.

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

In this final angle my wrist is cocked but not early enough causing me to have to use more push with my arm instead of my legs. my footwork is consistent but i need to work on not turning my body after the shot. When i finish my shot it is in the perfect spot, my elbow finishes about chin level but i need to work on getting it higher.

Conclusion

In conclusion I have a good form but i need to work on my follow through and were i finish vertically and where i finish with my wrist after the release. I also have to better my power from my legs instead of my arms and i have to better my consistency and focus when shooting.

Angle 1 (Straight on-under basket) 

  • In my first shot, I could notice that my shooting hand goes sideways towards my guide hand whilst shooting the ball and that it goes to the right when following through. I believe that it affects my shot negatively because it could make the ball go sideways either left or right upon my release. Another thing I noticed was that my guide hand would come off upon my release, which would support my shooting hand but come off just in time so that it doesn't negatively affect my shot. 


Angle 2 (From the back)


  • In this shot, I noticed that my guide hand slightly got in the way of my shooting motion and it caused the ball to go slightly off of my hand, making the shot go sideways. My hand finished high but it went towards my guide hand in the end. My elbow on my shooting hand was kind of sticking out as well. I need to work on being able to bring up the ball straight more consistently to avoid shooting the ball sideways.


Angle 3 (From the side)


  • In my final shot angle, I bent my knees and made sure my arm and toe were in line with the basket. My guide hand wasn't in the way of my shot this time and  I didn't finish as high with my shooting hand. I kept the ball near my shoulder but left enough space to be able to have a shooting window so that I can see the basket.  



Things I need to work on

  • Being more consistent on bringing the ball up straight
  • Being more consistent on finishing high and making sure my guide hand doesn't in the way of my shot
  • Practice form shooting more often to develop muscle memory to provide a more comfortable and consistent feeling with my shot
  • Learn how to catch and shoot the ball in a fast and fluid motion

Nash shot analysis

Angle 1: Front view
From the first glance at my shot, I can see that I bring the ball up over my body when I could bring it up the outside of my body so my body doesn't interfere with my shot. As I release the ball I can that my elbow is sort of sticking out like a chicken wing which could affect how straight my shot is. After I release ball I can see my fingers are pointing down towards my foot. I could do a better job of leading with my index and middle finger so I have more control on my shot. I also notice that as I release the ball my elbow straightens out and finishes nice and high. When I'm bringing the ball up and just about to shoot my support hand lets go. I could do a better job of shooting with one hand as this could affect how much control I have over my shot.



Angle 2: Side View
Looking at my shot from the side, I notice a couple things. I do a good job of keeping the ball infront of my body and making a 90 degree angle with my arm. I could probably try to finish higher so I can become a better shooter against longer defenders. It's hard to tell if my wrist is cocked before the shot because I'm not receiving the ball via a pass but I can tell you that from past experience and other
people helping me with my shot, I can do a better job of cocking my wrist so make it a more smoother action. One thing I notice from this side angle is that my follow through is very quick. It almost seems like I am flicking my wrist too much which could affect my power and control. I want more of a nice smoother motion and release.



Angle 3: Rear view
Looking at my shot from the behind I can see that my off hand plays a big role in my shot. I do a great job of keeping it a 9 o'clock but fail to release it from the ball very quickly. From other people looking at my shot, they notice that on my pull-up my off hand starts to creep behind the ball so I start to shoot with two hands but very slightly. After release my off hand turns toward the outside of my body. This could means I'm being to reliant on that hand and giving it too much strength.This can cause the ball to either veer left or right(left in my case). At the end of my release I can see that I do a better job of releasing high than I first thought so that is something to be happy about.



Conclusion:
In conclusion I can say that my shot is not that bad. I can do a better job of releasing my off hand quicker so it doesn't affect my shot so much. I can also do a better job of widening my feet so I have a more balanced base. I would say that I do a good job of finishing high but need to control the ball more with my index and middle fingers. I didn't jump in the video but I can say that I need to use my legs more when I shoot, Late in games when I'm tired, I need to focus on using less arms and more legs.

Angle 1- front view

I bring the ball straight up on the shooting hand side of my body. my fingers were finished facing the rim after the ball was released from my hand. my elbow, knee and toes were all in a line with the basket. i released the ball at the right time and i finished high and straight.






Angle 2-Side view

i have y hand directly behind the ball until i go to shot when i bring the ball to low and my wrist and hand end up under the ball forcing my to push the ball instead of just releasing it. my off hand is at 9 o clock and it comes off the ball when i release it and it stays there and doesnt push the ball. i do release the ball with one hand but i pushed it instead of just releasing it.







Angle 3- Back view

my wrist is cocked and my footwork is consistent. i keep the ball at a good spot on my body keeping it inline with my arm and shoulder. after the ball is released, my elbow is above my right eye and straight on with the follow through towards the basket
