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
Stephen Curry is probably the best 3 shooter in the NBA. He can be dribbling more than 10 mphs and set his feet for a jump shoot in just a third of a second.Though he stops so fast there is still no waste in motion. He also release shoots the ball 55 degrees which gives his shoot a bigger target at the rim. As said in a article in the link it says the steeper the shot, the wider the opening is to the rim. Curry release the ball as he is rising which makes it hard for his opponent to block his shot. After picking up his dribble he can get the ball of in four tenths of a second which is the fast release in the NBA today. His shot is so consistent because of muscle memory. Stephen Curry also has proof that the science of how he shoots the ball
He is a 46 percent shooter from the floor and shoots 41 percent from beyond the arc.
His field goal percentage is steadily increasing over the past three years that he spent in the league, yet he is not shooting a lot from outside, only having attempted around 1 three pointer each game, and 87% of his field goals attempted are two-pointers, and among those field goals he attempted, 50.2% of them are 0-3 feet away from the basket. It can be seen from his highlights and stats, that he finishes most of his possessions inside the paint or from mid-range. But if he wants to avoid injuries, in order to spend a preferably longer time in the league, and to have a more all-around game, a consistent long-range shooting ability is what he needs the most. In addition to working on his shooting skills, it would also help him join the all-star club much faster if he could learn to create his own shots. Throughout the past three seasons, 50 % of the field goals and 76% of the three pointers that he attempted were assisted by other teammates, so that means he was always on the receiving end of a pass while cutting, running down the court or running to an open spot. What he needs is to able to create shots for himself during an iso play, like Joe Johnson or James Harden. This skill would prove useful in a lot of occasions during crunch times or when his teammates are kept off
As the top operators of the tip top Ghost Ops group, it is your obligation to finish numerous unsafe missions. Terrorists have set up base and are plotting an atomic strike! You must hold them off as far as might be feasible and secure yourself and the world with your minds, brisk reflexes and any weapon you can discover!
Late last month, I attended a 3D open shoot at the Wallkill wildlife reservation. A 3D shoot is an archery course that involves shooting at targets modelled after 3D objects. The event is hosted by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife to generate funds and PR for the refuge. Many competitive archers attend from across the state looking for practice, to meet people interested in their hobby, or to find a new source of trophies.
I am a strong advocate of getting off the bench to shoot. Deer and bad guys rarely set themselves up for a precision shot off a benchrest, so you might as well get use to shooting (if your range allows it) in different positions.
An indoor shooting range in Daytona Beach, Florida just received a license to serve alcoholic beverages. While some people are happy about this new change, others have raised concerns. There have been studies done to confirm the dangers of both alcohol use and guns.
Ever since California voters approved the construction of the Bullet Train in 2008 to connect the major urban and rural areas in between Northern and Southern California, there has a constant drum beat of critics who have dubbed it the “Train to Nowhere,” a pointed reference to a pork barrel project in Alaska that would, if built, have served more Caribou than people. In the case of the Bullet Train though, I wonder how some people’s limited thinking and imagination have clouded their ability to think big and act big. We used to think of ourselves as a country with grand ambitions and projects that awed the world, maybe it’s time to ask our grandparents to come back from retirement and show
Our planet is filled with water to be more accurate 96.5% of our planet is water but we have a big problem only the 3% of all this water is fresh water. In recent decades the planet is facing very important climatic changes and water is a natural resource and therefore this has been severely damaged. Since the industrial revolution in1760 the water pollution has been greater, reaching our rivers, lakes, streams and seas. In the last decade man has developed new technology to try to solve this problem that is affecting many people around the globe. One of the most famous is the Slingshot created by Dane Kamen this machine can transform contaminated water, salt water and sewer water in freshwater. The Slingshot have a vapor compression distiller that is between two tanks these tanks are connected by tow hoses. One of the tanks contains freshwater and the other one have bad water using solar energy distills and vaporizes contamination, and makes freshwater. This invention is now well known in the
The career I decided to research was that of a Ballistic Analyst. The job of a ballistic analyst includes examining bullet casings, firearms, ammunition, and clothing. The senior analyst would typically work in the field at the crime scene, while most of the analysts spend their day in a lab. The majority of the day is spent looking at something called a ballistic fingerprint. From any of the ballistics used or found at a crime scene, fingerprints may be found which is what the lab analyst will typically look for on any given day. After finding or not being able to find fingerprints, they will write detailed reports about their findings which may be sent directly to police officers or any person in the courtroom that may be used the help convict
The fastest growing sport in Minnesota continues to be trap and skeet shooting and that trend has continued in Perham. It’s another record setting year for the Hot Shots program with their numbers soaring past last year’s record high.
This brand new technology is taking the agricultural industry by storm. It’s revolutionary process of introducing more natural plant hormones, such as Auxin which as you know is a plant produced hormone responsible for suppressing side buds and stimulating root growth, to prevent shoot branches.
Nearly everybody has come up with an idea that has turned heads and made millions! I have created an all-new cell phone, but it is not no ordinary cellphone, it’s also a gun. We thought this idea would be great.
