The ball is held in front of the face, right hand is place behind the ball.
Finger and knee aren’t in line. Elbow finishes at nose level making a straighter shot at the basket. Off- hand releases ball before shot, but too early causing a one handed shot.
Angle 2:Rear View- Camera is directly behind shooter
Shooting hand placed behind the ball pointer and middle finger placed slightly to the left of center. Off hand found at 7:30- 8:00, ball is slightly pushed with off- hand. Release hand after shot pushes to the left side of the body, causing the shot to spin vertically shortening shot radius.
Angle 3:Side View- Camera on shooting hand side.
The wrist is at a 130 degree angle during the shot, footwork during the shots are inconsistent body doesn’t not look completely balanced. The ball is left in front of the body but is held to lower, when shot is released with right arm it follows through at a 120 degree angle. When the ball is released it is released from the chest area.
Conclusion:
Over all I have to work on my form to achieve a better shot. Working on my release point with how I hold the ball before shooting is something that has to be changed first along with I also need to work on being balanced while shooting. I use my arms to shoot so I need to learn to use more legs.
Mr Bishops shot analysis Click here to join EHarmony 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.
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
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.
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
In my first shot, I noticed that my knee and my toe were in the same plane but my elbow was out making my shot goes more to the right. The ball was brought up straight with my fingers finishing down towards my foot. Before the release my guide hand that supports the ball came off in time giving my shooting hand the full control of the ball. My elbow finished above my eyes giving more arc to my shot.
Angle 2: From the Back
In this shot, I made sure that my toe, knee, hip, and elbow were in line, so the ball would just go straight. But I noticed that I didn't used enough legs, so I had to push the ball a little to get more power from my arm. My shooting hand was behind the ball with my offhand at 9 o'clock, I also noticed that I should start practicing with the shooting strap because after releasing the ball, my off hand would start rotating towards the ball giving my shot the tendency to go to the left.
Angle 3: From the Side
In my third shot, I noticed that my foot work in all three were very consistent, but it can be improved by keeping my foot in the same place so I can go into my shot much faster. The ball was kept in front of my body with my elbow still out. Before the release my wrist was cocked back, making my shot hand directly behind the ball. Lastly my elbow was near my eyes giving my shot a good amount of arc.
-Things that need to be improved-
-Keeping my elbows in
-Using more legs so I don't have to get too much power from my arm
-Legs bent before the shot, so I can get a quicker release
-Fingers in the "cookie jar' for better arc.
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.
