I have been injured for the last 2 months and while browsing the web looking for rehab exercises I stumbled on the
While watching the videos a light went off in my head and I couldnt believe how I had been shooting with the wrong mechanics. To test this theory I watched a couple of NBA games and saw that the majority of the better shooters in the nba were using this technique in varying forms. When I looked at old games of Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryan they definately used the technique 100%.
The next day I went to the club to shoot some freethrows I started off with my usual technique for square to the basket elbow pulled under the hand .... I shot 60% using this technique for the 20 shots and never hit more than 2 shots in a row!!!! The next 20 I shot using the Pro Shot Shooting System technique and was amazed to find that the percentage went up to 80% and I shot 10 in a row!!!
When I got home I went to the pro shot web site
I basically ingested the information from the whole site and have put it into changing my shot for the better.
Since then I have been using the new technique with a great deal of success.
I am now going to get serious about my shooting training and shoot at least 100 freethrows a day to get the technique into my muscle memory. I also want to work on my 3 point shot which has improved a great deal due to the new technique as well. My shot is now much more relaxed and the guys that I train with have noticed how my shot always loks like it will go in now as it is much straighter due to the finger release.
This morning I was short on time but managed to make 100 freethrows in 50 minutes. Tomorrow I plan to shoot in 10 sets of 10 made freethrows and record the amount of shots that it takes to make the shots.
At the weekend I will get a video camera to start recording my shooting sessions to analyse afterwards.
