Layup Shot

Basketball is a favorite sport to many Americans. It is a sport that takes strength, determination, hand-eye coordination and many other challenging aspects. All of this skill is used to do one thing, put the ball in the hoop. The ball itself is surprisingly very complex and takes a while to be comfortable with it.

Shooting a basketball involves many steps. To shoot a basketball a hoop is needed. So, go to a gymnasium at school,rec center, or even your driveway. Grab a basketball and dribble a few times to get comfortable with the basketball before shooting the basketball. Go to a spot closer to the hoop, like the left or right block on the marked court. It is a square shape located on the floor of the gym. After finding the blocks or the place you choose to shoot from, the first thing you should do is line your foot up to the basket. If you are left-handed, your left foot should be lined up to the basket. If you are right-handed, your right foot should be lined up to the basket. Once you have lined your dominant foot up, the other foot that is not lined

I was a little guy so I just stood there on the court and shot the ball.

Attention Getter: “I wish I was a little bit taller, I wish I was a Baller, I wish I had a girl who looked good I would call her.” That timeless phrase coined by Ski-Lo in the early nineties, resonates with so many of us because all of those goals are things that people relate to being successful. And while I can’t help you with the first and the last respectively, becoming a “Basket-baller” is quite feasible, with a little hard work.

Only parts of your body that allows you to make lay-ups would be your hand, arms and, your legs. However, the most important thing you must use when making a lay-up is your eyes.Because, with all that goes on around you during a basketball game in the court. Especially when the activity level increases ten-fold as you start to get closer to the basket. As you can see there are more players, more defenders and, more hands. So the more eye contact you make with your team mates the closer you get to the basket. Speaking of this, the demand for your concentration goes up accordingly as you continue to play. No matter what you would do, you must keep your eyes on the prize. In such cases that mean that you got to block out all that is going on around you. And, keep your eyes on the target until the ball comes through the net to score a winning goal.

This takes a lot of practice for you to pull this off well. Nothing comes without practice, definitely not skill. I have tried and failed many times. The first time, the ball left my hand and bounced twice on the court, while I could only watch as my defender picked up the ball and dribbled down the court for a layup. I felt a sinking feeling, and decided that I wouldn’t try again until I practiced it more. So, a couple weeks later, against another team, I tried again. And failed. Again. So, I had to practice even more. If you don’t control the ball, then your defender will score, not you. It will slip from your hands, and most of the time, your defender or another defender will get the ball instead. So, next week (which was the last game of the regular season) I tried again, and it finally worked. I blew by the defender for the layup. It might not seem like much, but I got the confidence to pull that more often, and I become ok at

When someone is shooting a basketball an important thing that is mostly overlooked is their shot arc. This may only seem like a minor detail from your shot but its impact is overwhelming. If you are looking to get an outstanding jump shot one thing you need to have is a consistent shot arc in the mid 40’s. A 45 degree shot arc is said to be optimal because 30 degrees is too flat of a shot and it leaves barely enough room for the ball to enter the hoop and a 50 degree shot arc is just too high and it makes getting the shot up much harder than necessary. A 45 degree shot arc being optimal is backed up by one of the greatest shooters ever Stephen Curry. Curry has an average shot arc of 46 degrees and has a steeper launch angle that gives him a

I would want to research the basketball shooting physics is because I love to play basketball and I really want to improve my shooting. I have been playing basketball for a long time, and I think I would play basketball for a long time so why not improve it.A lot of other friends and classmates loves to play basketball so when I see some people that needs help I could help them with their shooting. I hope that my research could help a lot to my basketball shooting.

The picture of Michael Jordan flying threw the air was captured by photographer Walter Looss Jr. This picture took place in the Chicago Bulls Arena. The event was the NBA Slam Dunk Contest. I think the people that was there was so excited because it was Michael Jordan and also because it was an incredible dunk in the air. I personally think this picture stick to the public because first its Jordan and second, it was the most greatest dunk of all time in NBA history!

Every professional basketball player knows how to shoot a ball, and in some part of their life, they learned how to shoot a basketball. It isn’t that complicated to be honest, there’s just some aspects of shooting a ball that need to be perfected. There are very few steps in the process of learning how to shoot a ball correctly. The one that is most used is called B.E.E.F. B.E.E.F is a four-step process, and quickly could be learned, but takes awhile to perfect. The first part of this procedure is known as “Balance.” Most people think a good flick of the wrist is a good shot, but balance is a key part of shooting. In order to have the correct balance your feet must be shoulder width apart, bend your knees, and your dominant foot should be in front of your non-dominant foot. The next step is “Eyes.” Your eyes should be focused on the center of the rim because first of all, you don’t know how much strength to put in your shot if you are not looking at your target. Second of all, aim for the center because the side, front, or back of the rim will probably lead you to miss your shot. After that, the next step is elbow. Your elbow must be cocked back 90 degrees. Also, your non-dominant hand should be on the side of the ball to guide your shot. This is because your shot will go in other directions that you are not intending to aim for. Finally, the last step is to follow-through. To follow-through, straighten your elbow

is where you want to focus on the rim and extend at the elbow, and extending at

One sport that unifies people to cheer for their favorite players, sons and daughters, and best friend’s play is basketball. Basketball games brings the sense of excitement, from warm-ups to the last buzzer. Like all sports, basketball has had rule changes. Recently, a new idea is being discussed in the basketball world. The rule proposes that when a player shoots and misses a three-point shot, one point is subtracted from his or her team. It has the potential to cause an up roaring among players and fans. The new rule idea is just atrocious.

The first description of a shot was described earlier as simply a shot but more specifically can be referenced to a jump shot. The second way to look at shooting the basketball using physics is referred to as a layup. The difference between the two is that a jump shot has little or no horizontal movement toward the basket. Instead the jump shot relies strictly on vertical movement. Specifically the shooter will be stopped and jump using two feet straight up and down vertically and push the basketball off the finger tips to obtain the force and angle to get the ball to the basket. The layup on the other hand is done by the shooter jumping off of one foot while running. The shooter jumps vertically and uses the momentum from running to propel horizontally toward the basket. The shooter is generally closer to the basket while shooting a layup versus a jump shot. The same physics that were applied to the jump shot are applied to the layup as well. There is still an angle and force that the ball would need to travel toward the basket but since the shooter is moving horizontally toward the basket velocity will play more of factor. Since the balls velocity is the sum of the shooters speed and the balls speed the ball does not need as much force to get to the basket but it is more or less just let go of or dropped off into the basket. This also explains the slam dunk. Instead of dropping the ball into

Connecting to audience: I’m sure most of you have shot a basketball in your lifetime, but I’m sure few of you are aware of the basic mechanics to shooting a basketball. Today, I’ll show the basics of shooting.

Shooting the basketball is the easiest thing to improve. The best way to enhance shooting is to keep practicing. Better shooting greatly increases the teams score and gives the opponents a hard time of catching up. Once a player feels their shot is good enough, they can attempt 3-point shots. There is a line pretty far away from the goal
