What makes the method so efficient?

Using the method you will have shorter time available during the training than in the real game. You will get used to the more difficult training situations, and once you find yourself in shooting position in the real game your performance will be much better, and your aiming more accurate. The situation will simply seem easier and simpler than the training!

Shooting skills. When you have no real chance for unobstructed aiming at a certain stage of the shot – as the hoop is not visible – you need to resort to your shooting skill by creating a mental image of the hoop and its position.

By increasing the number of repetitions the real and the projected image become more and more alike, which leads to improved shooting skills and accuracy.

Maximum vertical jump during shooting. You will need to adjust your starting settings so there is enough time available to perform a successful shot – with a max vertical jump – in the last phase of the jump. If you jump higher, there will be more time available, and your success rate will increase. This way you are continuously forced to perform the shots with maximal effort, which results in improved jumping power and physical abilities. Performing the shots with a maximal vertical jump many times will improve your body stature in air, and further enhance motor coordination.

Improvement of shooting technique: During shooting the supporting structure of the Gameshot Practice Device is positioned directly in front of you, forcing you to increase the angle of the shot.  Your shooting technique will improve by having to extend your forearm upwards.

The preparation phase of the shot: Due to the functional layout of the training device you can practice all possible kinds of game jump shots. As training shots are always performed from behind the cover surface, mistakes during the preparation phase are more visible and easier to correct.

The final phase of the shot – touching ground and landing: The supporting structure of the device has been designed not to disturb you in any way while landing. It is positioned in safe distance from all possible landing spots, preventing the most frequent basketball accidents from happening.
