#1 HAND POSITIONING FAULT
- We want the middle of the ball to cut the middle of the hand in half "split the ball in half"
- We want the thumb and pinky to funnel the ball to the shooting finger
- The hand positioning may need to be fixed at the beginning of the shot and at the end of the shot
- This can be seen when the shooter is missing side to side
- This can be fixed with one handed shooting
#2 WRIST FLEXTION FAULT
- We want the wrist to reach extension (to prevent shoulder extension)
- We want the wrist to "snap" into flexion
- This can be seen when the shooter is missing short
- This can be fixed by queing backspin on the ball
#3 ELBOW FAULT
- We want the elbow to move up the energy line at the same time that the wrist is moving out
- This can be seen when players miss long, or shoot the arc flat
- This again, can be fixed with one arm shooting
#4 SHOULDER FAULT
- This is correlated to the joints above it
- If the wrist can extend, the shoulder over extends
- If the elbow dosent move up, the shoulder wont extend
- This can be fixed with form shooting where the shooter finishes on their toes in full extension
#5 CORE FAULT
- We want the core to maintain erect spinal posture
- This ensures that energy transfers through the abdominal muscles without leaking
- This can be see with poor posture in the shot or tight shoulders
- This can be fixed with Mark Price Shooting
#6 HIPS FAULT
- We dont want our hips to change in depth very much
- This would be seen in over squatting before the shot, which is rare
#7 RHYTMM FAULT
- We want the legs to drive the shot and the hands to guide it
- Specifically, we want the achilles, gastronemius and soleus to contract, sending a wave through our body
- The shoulder, elbow, and wrist should be able to ride this wave
- This can be fixed with tom bennet shooting
#8 BALANCE FAULT
- We want the body to be balanced on the balls of the feet
- We dont want lean forwards or the side
- This can be fixed by setting a wide base and bringing the wide foot towards the set foot
