Biomechanics Of A Basketball Shot. The production of greater power in the jump gives a higher vertical velocity to the players. Babcock 2005 also suggests that the rotation can be created with the fingertip control and the follow through. The aim of this study was to compare the biomechanical characteristics. The jump shot helps a player elevate their body above their opponent this makes it harder to defend and helps to give power to the shot while giving the player great height when shooting.
Correct grip and vertical alignment of the forearm allows the shooter to apply the backspin to the ball. Research suggests that the vertical alignment of the arm to the basket is crucial as letting the arm drift laterally takes the arm out of alignment with the basket resulting in the ball to spin with a to the side. The jump shot helps a player elevate their body above their opponent this makes it harder to defend and helps to give power to the shot while giving the player great height when shooting. The spin can bring the shot into the basket even if the shot is slightly off. Babcock 2005 also suggests that the rotation can be created with the fingertip control and the follow through. Biomechanical analysis of basketball shot.

Babcock 2005 also suggests that the rotation can be created with the fingertip control and the follow through. As can be seen in the image the Summation of Force begins in the calves moves onto the quads trunktorso biceps triceps and into the wrist before finally being applied to the ball via the fingers. The spin on a ball during the shot is critical if the ball bounces around in the rim. Therefore the focus of prior studies was on the shooting technique rather than the motor abilities of. This movement pattern consists of shoulder and hip rotation positioning of the body elbow and wrist acceleration and finger and ball acceleration. The spin can bring the shot into the basket even if the shot is slightly off.
