Basketball academies - Measure each player's shooting mechanics
In a pilot, ConductVision measures release height, ball speed, knee and hip bend, and body lean on every filmed shot, and shows how consistent each shooter is.
What the pilot measures - On every filmed shot
- Release height, from the floor to the ball as it leaves the hand
- The dip: how low the ball drops before the shot goes up
- Hip, knee and ankle bend as the player loads the shot
- How far the player leans forward or back at release
- When the ball leaves the hand during the jump
- The ball's speed and angle as it leaves the hand
- How much each of these varies from shot to shot
- How each of these changes from early to late in a session
From the research - What separates better three-point shooters
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.
In another study, the less the ball's speed at release varied from shot to shot, the more accurately a player shot from three-point range.
Lowest point
Release
- Better shooters
- Less accurate shooters
Each drawing shows one group's average position.
Free throws - What separates better free-throw shooters
In a study of 34 recreational players, those who made at least 7 of 10 free throws in a shooting test released the ball higher and leaned forward less than those who made fewer.
What you get - Reports from the pilot
- These numbers in each player's profile
- How each number changes from session to session
- A side-view drawing of each player's own average shot
- Every measurement in a file, for academies with an analyst
