Free throws - Measure release height and lean on every free throw

In a pilot, ConductVision measures makes and misses, release height, lean at release and knee bend on every free throw your staff film. Your coaches can see how steady each player's form at the line is.

What a pilot measures

On every free throw you film.

Makes and misses

Makes and misses at the line.

Release height

From the floor to the ball as it leaves the hand.

Lean at release

How far the player leans forward or back as the ball leaves the hand.

Knee bend

How far the knees bend as the player loads the shot.

Shot to shot

How much each of these varies from one free throw to the next, and from early to late in practice.

Release, lean and free-throw accuracy

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 your coaches get

Each player at the line

Makes, misses and form at the line for each player, and how they change from session to session.

A file for your analysts

Every measurement from the pilot in one file.

Questions from coaches

Can it measure shots in games?

In a pilot, ConductVision can be set up to measure shots in game video your team already has.

Pilot - How a pilot starts

A paid pilot covers one group of players for a set time. Your team sets the criteria before any results come in. You decide whether to roll out, change the scope or stop.

You bring
Practice video of your free-throw work, and the drills your coaches want measured. A first look at your footage shows whether the camera views will work.
We set up
ConductVision for your drills and camera views. Before results go out, a ConductVision engineer measures a sample of your video by hand to check them.
You get
Each player's free throws by session, every measurement in a file for your analysts, and a final report on whether the pilot met the criteria your team set.

Each pilot starts with a written plan for where video and data are stored, who can see them and when they are deleted.
