Basketball academies - Follow shooting progress beyond makes and misses

In a pilot, ConductVision follows how each shot reaches the rim and how steady each shooter's release is, along with makes and misses, session after session.

From the research - What predicts shooting better than percentages

In one study, how each shot reached the rim predicted three-point shooting better than plain field goal percentage did. The study looked at entry angle, depth and left-right position.

Another study found that the less the ball's speed at release varied from shot to shot, the more accurately a player shot from three-point range.

So a pilot follows how each shot reaches the rim and how steady each shooter's release is.

What the pilot measures - What we measure for each shooter

  • Makes and misses by drill and distance
  • Ball speed, release angle and arc height on each shot
  • How each shot reaches the rim: the angle, whether it is short or long, and how far left or right
  • How much release height, ball speed and timing vary from shot to shot
  • The dip: how low the ball drops before the shot goes up
  • Knee bend on each shot
  • How each of these changes across sessions

What you get - Reports from the pilot

  • A progress chart for each shooter across the pilot
  • Every measurement in a file, for academies with an analyst
