In this enlightening mini-episode of "The Coach Dave Love Podcast," NBA Shooting Coach Dave Love and co-host Matt Robertson delve into the complex world of basketball shooting techniques and the inherent trade-offs involved. Given that the human body isn't inherently designed for shooting a basketball, players and coaches must often navigate through various trade-offs in shooting habits to optimize performance. In this discussion, Dave and Matt explore several common dichotomies in shooting techniques: Turning the Feet vs. Square Feet: They discuss how angling the feet might aid in comfort but can affect force production. Low Set Points vs. High Set Points: They examine how a lower set point can generate more power but might compromise arc. Fluid Ball Paths vs. 2 Motion Shots: The conversation turns to the benefits of a smooth, single-motion shot for more power and the advantages of a two-motion shot for consistency and control. Each choice comes with its benefits and drawbacks, and understanding these can significantly impact a player's shooting efficiency and confidence.
