BASKETBALL TIPS!! 12 Days of Tip-mas (Day #4) -- Don't Go for the Fake!

[BazhoFromTheHood]

Coach is it really true that some "slow twitch" muscles can decrease your vertical,my friend said to me that his dad told to him that if you are jogging that slow twitch" muscles will become stronger and you will use onlly them in is it really true?

[ShotScience]

@BazhoFromTheHood We do not believe this is true!

[TheMjdancer1]

i think you should make a video on basketball tricks

[ShotScience]

@TheMjdancer1 well, we're more about skill development and things that will make you an unstoppable player on the court

[PimpOfHTown]

im guilty of this because i love blocking people lol. i find that if i stay grounded more often that im less likely to get called for the foul and they wont get around me as easy, just as it was said in the vid. thanks for the tip

[ShotScience]

@PimpOfHTown You are very welcome and we are pleased that we can offer you some ideas to help your game.

[itsMUSICY]

When its close I fake jump, meaning I go on my tip toes so they think i jumped and then they'll go for the shot, WALLA EASY BLOCK :)

[ShotScience]

@itsMUSICY If it works for you, what can we say?

[imawsomeness1]

but if u stay on your feet the guy your gaurding willl just elevate over you

[ShotScience]

@imawsomeness1 you still contest the shot, but you don't jump on the fake. A contested shot with hands in their face is tough to make. If you jump up, you may block them, but chances are VERY good you'll foul them.

[ShotScience]

@imawsomeness1 If you belly up to the shooter it is very bothersome on their shot. This technique is called "Walling Up" and this keeps you from fouling the shooter, but makes it more difficult for them to make the shot. Get Belly-Button to Belly-Button on them!

[xbox360pro1263]

thanks this video brought my average blocks from 7 to 8 a game to 9 to 10 a game. its epic. i get triple doubles in middle school ball like its nothing. next year comes highschool and i only hope i can compete

[ShotScience]

@xbox360pro1263 You can compete if you just spend the time to develop your game. Don't expect that it will "JUST BE THERE" on day one. It is all about you spending time on those fundamental skills!!!!!

[clownx5]

wouldn't it be easy for a player to finish a lay-up if the defender were to stand there?

[ShotScience]

@clownx5 if you're putting tons of pressure on them, but staying on the floor, you'll be much more effective than getting up in the air and fouling them. You might get a block, but chances are good that you'll foul them.

[ShotScience]

@clownx5 Probably so!

[sanjiblue1]

when will i jump?

[ShotScience]

@sanjiblue1 Do not go for fakes! Stay on the floor. You will not get caught up in the air and then creating a foul! Blocking is over-rated and often leads to senseless fouls.

[sanjiblue1]

@ShotScience thanks :)

[KocirovD]

Hey Nice video,but how did you make the tv behind you ? Please tell me,I really need this.I have green screen,but i don't know how to make the TV.Please tell me.Please please please,please :(

[ShotScience]

@KocirovD made it in photoshop and use a 4-point garbage mask in Premiere

[gingshot]

do you know the best way to reject or steal the ball without getting a foul? especially for someone that taller than me...

[ShotScience]

@gingshot we are really into "rejection" of shots as they more often than not end up in a foul putting the player on the line or a turn-over especially on those who are taller than you. Learning to steal is all about timing you attempt when the ball is placed where you can get a touch on it. Something you have to learn for yourself.

[ShotScience]

@qaHs0r We will address this in the near future.

[TheKingJohnnyG]

ouch @17sec , 10x for the tips!

[ShotScience]

@TheKingJohnnyG Thanxs!

[ShotScience]

@CrazyBananaMan2 control it without dribbling??

[Denielgunz]

Yeah, but is so fun to block somebody, altough isn't funny when you just block the air meanwhile someone scores you.

[ShotScience]

@Denielgunz How about if you foul them? Not good!

[Denielgunz]

@ShotScience yeah gotta fix that

[bletma281]

And how to develop an consistent shot?

[bletma281]

@bletma281 and the Look before you shoot tip, I asked a lot of question LOL

[ShotScience]

@bletma281 use our "Form Shooting Drill" to develop a consistent shot. It's the best way to do this.

[bletma281]

Coach i have 3 question

1. How do we get over a bad game?

2. Tips on a Fast break?

3. Over Dribbling?

[ShotScience]

@bletma281 we'll give it a short shot here, but might be stuff we'll cover down the road in more detail.

1. Just have to let it go. If you don't you'll sabotage your next one. Losing sucks, but you can't let it get to you enough to mess up your next opportunity. Let it be the fuel to play great your next game.

2. Stay wide, fill the lanes, make hard cuts from the wings, more to come.

3. If you're dribbling and not going somewhere specifically, then you're over-dribbling.

[27Humpty]

i'd like to see some tips for post players or wing players, if you already have some that i missed, please tell me! thanks for all the help shot science!

[ShotScience]

@27Humpty we have tons! Check out our video library and playlists ;-)

[Cerealwinz]

I have a question.When we block a jump shot what hand should we use. Left or Right?Thumb this up so they can see it

[ShotScience]

@Cerealwinz you should use whichever hand is most comfortable and will get the job done.

[Cerealwinz]

@ShotScience o ok thanks

[seanceltics15]

lol you look just like ur dad

[ShotScience]

@seanceltics15 well, he is my dad ;-)

[jctimmy1102]

tips on driving in to the basket?

or better basketball IQ?

[ShotScience]

@jctimmy1102 We have a number of really good moves to get you to the basket. Check out our video play list. A better IQ comes from playing the game.

[BecomeB]

@ShotScience How about video of advanced finishing moves? I'm 175cm and I'm playing against 30 cm taller guys than me so those regular finishes won't work for me. How small guards finish. Well I have watched example how aquille carr finish, but is there some technique for those.

/watch?v=QKqpaDoRVFI

Move at 0.19 and 1.25

Is there any keys for that? It feels very hard to perform if I have any kind of speed. So should I try to stop momentum and jump to for getting balance or keep moving?

[quechuharoify]

how can i be the winner on the inicial jump

[ShotScience]

@quechuharoify most of the time it comes down to timing. We might tackle this down the road ;-)

[ShotScience]

@quechuharoify We suppose that you are asking about the center jump to begin the game. The usual problem in this setting is that you wait to jump. You really need to anticipate the toss and jump a little early. This is when you win the jump.

[Primojoejoe]

Go Tipmas Go!!

[ShotScience]

@Primojoejoe ho ho ho!!!

[ethan120494]

[96pandaz]

THANK YOU SOO MUCH GONNA HELP ME IMPROVE BY HEAPS! :D

[ShotScience]

@96pandaz great!! Get out there and DOMINATE!!

[SilentbutCool19]

thanks Shot science, im 16, Does lifting weights to improve vertical affects Height growth? im in doubt because i want a high vertical but still grow taller. Im 5'10 but when I jump I im just 1-2 inches away from tipping the ring.

[96pandaz]

@SilentbutCool19 don't do weights, it stunts your growth

[AlexsDominoes]

helps more than the other ones:D

[ShotScience]

@AlexsDominoes glad we could help! More on the way!

[HoopsCook35]
