Shooting mechanics
Release height, ball speed, knee bend and body lean on every filmed shot, and how much each varies from shot to shot.

Basketball academies - Measure how each player shoots and moves
In a pilot at your academy, ConductVision measures each player's shooting form, jumps and sprints from drill video your staff film, and shows how each player changes from session to session.
What a pilot measures for each player
Shooting progress
Makes and misses by drill, how each shot reaches the rim and how steady each release is, session after session.

Athletic profile
Jump height, sprint times and change-of-direction times, measured the same way at every test.

Recruiting profiles
A profile for each player, measured the same way every session, that the academy can share with college and professional scouts.

From the research - How better three-point shooters load the shot
In a study of 24 male basketball players, those who made at least 5 of 10 three-pointers in a shooting test bent more at the hip, knee and ankle as they loaded the shot than those who made fewer. At release, the study found no clear difference between the two groups.
Lowest point
Release
- Better shooters
- Less accurate shooters

Pilot - How a pilot works
We plan the filming
A ConductVision engineer sends a proposal that lists the drills to film and where the cameras go. Your staff then film shooting drills, jump tests and scrimmages.
We measure each player
ConductVision measures each player from the video. Before results go out, a ConductVision engineer measures a sample of your video by hand to check them.
Coaches get a profile for each player
Each profile shows the player's numbers and how they change across sessions. Academies with an analyst can also get every measurement in a file.
You decide what comes next
At the end, you get a report on the results, checked against the goals you set with us at the start. You then decide whether to add players or teams.
Questions from academies
- What equipment do we need?
- The proposal lists the cameras or phones to use and where to put them. Staff film one player at a time for shooting drills and jump tests. To measure how the ball reaches the rim, the rim must be in the shot. If your scrimmage video covers the full court, the profiles can also show which shots were open and which were contested.
- How are the length and price of a pilot set?
- The proposal sets the length, the number of players, how you send video, when profiles come back and the price for your academy.
- Does ConductVision tell us what to coach?
- No. The profiles report measurements, and your coaches decide what to change.
- Who owns the video and the data?
- Your academy does. Each pilot starts with a written plan for where video and data are stored, who can see them and when they are deleted.
- Can we film players under 18?
- Yes, with written consent from a parent or guardian, which the academy collects before filming. Profiles of players under 18 go to scouts only with the family's permission.
- Is this a medical or injury assessment?
- No. The measurements describe movement only.
