Three-point shooting - Measure how each player loads and releases a three
In a pilot, ConductVision measures makes and misses from three-point range, how far each player bends at the hip, knee and ankle as they load the shot, and the ball's speed at release. It measures every filmed three, so your coaches can compare each shooter's form on makes and misses.
What a pilot measures
On every three you film.
Makes and misses
Makes and misses from three-point range, drill by drill.
Loading the shot
How far the hip, knee and ankle bend as the player loads the shot.
Release
Release height, and how far the player leans forward or back at release.
Ball speed and angle
The ball's speed and angle as it leaves the hand.
Shot to shot
How much ball speed and release height vary from one shot to the next.
Loading, ball speed and three-point accuracy
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.

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 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 threes 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.
