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.
