This is a great time to be a basketball player. For the first time in history, with the use of high speed cameras, computers and the Internet, the jump shot can be analyzed and broken down.
There are no more secrets. Now we can take a close look at a shooter’s technique and see what makes it work. Please remember that we are examining the JUMP shot, not the set shot that is so commonly taught by many coaches and parents today.
What if we apply the simple scientific qualities of alignment, balance and symmetry to the shot? Ask yourself the following questions:
“Secrets of the Pros”
“An Information Masterpiece”
“The Jump Shot Has Been Engineered!”
Do you shoot it straight?
At full extension?
How high?
What is the proper arc?
Without stress?
Are you strong enough?
In the book, The Perfect Jump Shot, which is 174 pages in length, these are some of the questions we ask and answer. The jump shots of Oscar Robertson, Ray Allen, Allan Houston, Michael Finley, Wally Szczerbiak, Reggie Miller and other great shooters are closely analyzed.
You will see why their jump shot looks so good, how they seem to be able to get it off, even when closely guarded. By bringing the ball overhead, they are extending themselves to the highest point possible, maximizing their great talent and ability.
But getting to that point takes a tremendous amount of hard work for the player. There are over 400 photos and diagrams, with 50 professional players pictured to assist you in getting there.
It is a book that shows the jump shot step by step. It starts with an understanding of how the technique of shooting is mistakenly taught today, beginning with the one-handed set shot and moving into present day technique. Then we start teaching you to shoot, covering every aspect of the shot, from starting with the feet through the final release.
Each step of the jump shot is important as it affects the next step. By learning the entire sequence you get a shot that is easy to repeat. Once the basic technique is learned, the rest is up to you. You will now understand the secrets of the jump shot. Then you can begin to apply them to the countless possibilities that you will encounter on the basketball court.
