Reading list - Studies cited on the basketball pages
Shooting mechanics
Better three-point shooters bent more at the hip, knee and ankle as they loaded the shot.
Better free-throw shooters released the ball higher and leaned forward less.
A steadier ball speed at release went with more accurate three-point shooting.
Measuring shooting skill
How each shot reached the rim predicted three-point shooting better than plain field goal percentage did.
In a pilot - Using these findings in a pilot
The studies above looked at groups of players. A pilot compares each of your players with their own earlier sessions.
Before results go out, a ConductVision engineer measures a sample of your video by hand to check them.
