Shooting form - Measure each player's shooting form on every filmed shot
In a pilot, ConductVision measures release height, the dip, hip, knee and ankle bend, lean at release and ball speed from practice video your staff already record, so your coaches can see how each player's form changes over the season.
What a pilot measures
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.
Loading the shot
How far the hip, knee and ankle bend as the player loads the shot.
Lean at release
How far the player leans forward or back as the ball leaves the hand.
Release timing
When the ball leaves the hand during the jump.
Ball speed and angle
The ball's speed and angle as it leaves the hand.
Form and accuracy on threes and free throws
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 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.

Which shots does it measure?
Shots in the drills you film, when the camera can see the shooter.
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 your staff already record, and the shooting 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 shooting form 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.
