Shooting Games

To shoot well, you have to have ACCURACY under control. CONSISTENCY in shooting performance is also needed, else your results will be streaky and spotty.

ACCURACY comes from the ball being in line with the shooting eye and basket so the release motion can be easily gotten, and kept, on line. If it’s not on line with the shooting eye, then direction is always a challenge. If you shoot as far off line as the shoulder, good luck.

To me CONSISTENCY comes from shooting more from big muscles and less from small muscles. If you hesitate and start using more the upper body muscles, the shot becomes flatter and hotter, as we say. The Swish Method is about how to control the Flight of a Basketball, how to control distance and direction. You want to maximize the use of big muscles and minimize the use of small muscles. The Release can stay the same, thus making the shot more reliable, measurable and predictable.

Using your creativity to build wood products is fulfilling and you might well discover a hidden natural talent – wouldn’t you like to put your extra time to work by building quality work completely from scratch?
