Optimal Shooting Trajectories
- Every jump shot is different for each person, including the form in which they perform the jump-shot, the release of the ball from the hand into the air, and the angle/arc in which the ball is released from the hand and enters the rim.
- Many people assume that the higher arc a ball has, the better. While it is a factual statement that makes the rim bigger, giving the ball a better chance to go through the basket, it is not the be-all-end-all way to shoot.
