Synopsis

Revised and updated with new photos and information on topics from eye dominance to footwork, Developing the Perfect Jump Shot provides a meticulous dissection of what many people consider a simple or even instinctual move. Featuring more than 150 photos and diagrams, the book blends mechanical detail with an aesthetic overview to describe the making of the perfect jump shot. The book outlines the progression of steps that players must learn to shoot better, more accurately, and more consistently. It offers an in-depth look at the three basic forms of jump shooting (the standing jump shot, the crouched to drive, and the dribbling jump shot) and the five fundamental functions for mastering the jump shot (lunge, hop, leap, aiming zone, and ball release). Developing the Perfect Jump Shot is a comprehensive resource on the art of shooting for coaches and athletes at any level.
