August 23, 2022Some very valuable information is enclosed here, but it took me a few read throughs to grok a lot of the concepts, despite Fisher’s exhortations about the centerline method. What I boiled the advice down to was: learn how to shoot straight by using a finger release that points straight to the basket at the center point of the ball. If you shoot straight and miss, then you probably only need to worry about the angle of the shot, increasing it if you hit the back of the rim or decreasing the angle if you hit the front or airballed it.
I may be butchering Fisher’s advice somewhat; after all, I had to reread many passages many times and I still don’t get all of it. I actually found the angle aspect of shooting trickier than the shooting straight part, actually, as well as maintaining a consistent velocity release of the ball.
Nonetheless, there is no basketball shooting advice I’ve ever seen anywhere else that has been as helpful for my shot. Fisher’s approach of focusing on only the important parts of a shot, as opposed to those byzantine, schematic shot diagrams, is so much more useful and applicable than the traditional approach.
