thanks but everytime i try to do this i step to the defenders foot and that interrupts the whole motion. what am i doing wrong? sorry for bad english, i'm from germany.
@pinkbrot3 This, like all of the other moves is not something that you can do a few times and then "have it!" It takes time to create the ability to get it done. PRACTICE IT A TON!!!!
@NotLmfao NotLmao, the answers to your questions are in our video library on our YT channel. Check out "Killer First Step" and go from there. The Attack Dribble series will certainly help as well. We have many offensive attacks that you can find. Let us know how they go for you.
@snaredevil You can pivot several times. If they do not back off use our Axiom: "They crowd, I go." When they are crowding you they have little or no time to react to your drive. Make it aggressive and they will usually foul you as you go. They will get off you!
@iLuVeHeNdRiX Well, coaches love players who just play their A.......s off! Do not try to do more than you are capable of and be a great team player. Support and congratulate your team mates on good plays they may make and even when they make errors. Be the first guy in every drill. Never be at the end because you feel a lack of confidence. Let us know how it goes for you.
@4up4 Maybe he would flop! Some players do, but they do not always get the call. Never the less it sure gets that guy off your body if you happen to clip him.
@aflohoops Thanks so much for your very nice comment. The Curtiss boys have been involved in basketball since they were 6-7 yrs old. We would love to have some competitive teams, but no likely now.
i just though of something, if you have an EEEXXXXXXXXTTTRRREEEMMMLLLLYYYYY aggressive defender guarding you... you can use the diamond in a triple threat and if you have an open lane u should use the hammer and get passed him, and scince hes sooo aggressive hes prob gonna fly when you fake or foul from behind.
the new fiba rules are very strict even an intent or if even looks like you intend to elbow an opponent during a reboundor protecting the ball during a pressure d, the ref will automatically call a technical foul.. how am i suppose to use d diamond in these cases? thanx
@benzondmd: This may be a problem, however if they are really crowding you it may be necessary to take a foul to get them to back off. This is not an attempt to make contact with the defender so much as it is to get them to back up. Let us know how you intend to deal with the defender crowding you.
i like this move a lot but i have a question. When i bring the ball back, how are my legs suppose to be? Bent or stood up? Cause i always end of not feeling comfortable bringing it back to the shooting form so i go for a lay up

@looccii95: Well if you digest all of our videos and practice them like crazy, that will be a start! You need to find an academy or team that you can play on as well. Get busy with all of this TODAY!!!!!
@IfYouAreNITYouAreE1: Step hard between his legs! He will step back after the first time you make contact and if not he is close enough to attack him to the rack.
Thanks for the reply but I'm looking for the style Chase is wearing in the pics above, not the t-shirt but the golf/polo style with the collar. In Britain they call them a Fred Perry shirt.
@JimmySlattery: Go to our Face Book store and you can order one of those shirts. They are "pretty Awesome" aren't they? Take a picture of yourself in the shirt and send it to us no FB.
wat if the defender doesnt back off. cuz im a defender a very aggressive 1 and if i guy used this on me i wont back off ill put my chest on him and try to distrupt his balance. and after that his going to have 1 lane to go through cuz i took away his other side because of that pivot.
@mangobango2o4: Notice that after he makes the "Diamond step" there is a recovery step. How we deal with your idea is this. We teach all of our students that if you have a defender up into your body/chest you immediately attack them to the basket. One of two things happen here. You have little time to respond and will usually foul the dribbler or they go right by you to the rack because you have too little time to react to their drive. Most players do not know this. Too bad!

Hey chase...thanks a lot for this vid man...this is exactly what i was looking for...i got absolutely shut down today during a practise game coz they put a really aggressive defender on me...we've got another one tomorrow..time to put this to work!
@chackojegan: One more thing to remember when having a defender press up on you! Attack him right now and get to the rack. He will almost always foul you as you go by him. When they crowd you they have very little time to react to you drive and often foul you as you go. Try it, you will like it.
@chackojegan: We are really pleased for you and your success. Many players allow the defender to come up and crowd you to create pressure. You have now discovered that they are easy to go by when they crowd.
@Primojoejoe: Glad to hear that you have found this element to be useful. We hope that you and your guys are able to make The Diamond useful> Let us know how it goes.
I am unsureon some of the fouls one gets in defending. I know that you are meant to palm the ball, not smack it (when there's two hands on the ball), no elbowing (obvious), I don't understand about shooting howver. Say if the oppenent happens to release the shot just before i get in contact with their hand, does that count as a foul?
If you drive to the right they get in front of you and rip it. If you go behind your back they get infront of you and rip it! If you try to crossover in front really low they rip it, nomatter how fast you do it. If you try in and out they rip it. The problem is you can't crossover a short really fast defender. Yu r crossing over in their territory. The space that yoy can't create give you no room to do a move!! Help!!
@TheJerkawokeez: If you are experiencing these consequences on your dribble, we can only think that you have not worked on them sufficiently to make them iron clad. These moves do work, and work really well, however, you have to spend time on them to perfect them and THEN take them to the court. You should be able to beat them no matter how tall or how short and quick they may be. REMEMBER THIS: You have to attack them aggressively first and then they are set up for the move. Let's go!
What do you do if the defender gives you no room to even pivot. If u pivot forward they stay strong and don't move so youl step on their foot or knee them. If you jab step in any direction they don't move. If you try to bring the ball to the other side of your body you will hit them with the ball on the stomach!! What should I do to ctreate space with a not stupid defender!!
@TheJerkawokeez: Well, if you have your dribble still, the answer to this question is to attack them going to the basket "Hip-to-Hip." Remember, when they crowd you and you still have the dribble, attack and they usually are so close that they will foul you as you go. Be aggressive to the basket. They will not have time to get in a good defensive position and they should bump you or you go by them! This is one of our "Basic Rules." They crowd, I go!
Listen chase,..I have a big problem. This diamond thing doesn't work when the defender is on you and they're a good defender! If they're smart they stay on you pushing you back with their body. They giv you no room to pivot at all by getting real close to yóur pivot foot! Thets y I need a triple threat hard defender solution!!
@frankwallace36It should hel a lot. Something else that works well when you are being pressured by the defender, they are up and into you and you still have a dribble. Immediately go on them with a hard dribble and they will usually foul you.
@therealdeal3161: Well typically, this is caused by holding on to the ball too long at the top of your jump, or "being late on your release." When we tend to hang on our shot it is usually short of the target. Work on releasing the ball as you reach the top of your jump. Let us know how this works out for you.
Hey i used ur videos but i just cant make it i tryed the shooting tips and stuff but the ball just bounces off the back every time or misses i tryed so many things but i guess im an only lay up guy =(
@Djlisjli: Well, you may be expecting too much , too soon!!!! It takes several weeks of pretty intensive work to re-establish the muscle memory for a new stroke pattern. Give it some time and really practice using our "Form Shooting Drill" and you may be surprised. Don't give up! Learning anything new takes time.
I'm white boy 13 years old.My height is 162 cm it s about 63 inches 5'3..Is possible to touch the rim with my size?I will use your workout 24 hours if I must!Please answer to my question!thanks
man i seen a few videos so far and there awsome ive seen the hammer the crossover and diamond i tryed them and they worked thanks for your help !!!! : )
@MrFuturePhenom: Good request. Really, the shooting form and other elements do not change. The mid-range shooting is the same as the long range with one exception. You need more leg power for the longer shots.
@00610228: Nope, sorry there are no rules about how high the elbows can be. There are rules about how you use those elbows. There are no rules about hitting their hands with your elbows either, but you cannot use them to "bust them in the nose" either. Go back and check this video again and note that this technique allows you to create space from the defender when he is pressing up on you.
@hattrick116: We are in the process of making these videos available for downloading to your ipods. It has not been an easy thing to get accomplished. We are working on it.
Can you make a vid on making shots not minding the defender's height cause I am usually the small guy on the court and I want to play the best that I can be not minding the height. thanks It will help a lot!
@seanpbg: sean, we believe that the most important thing that you can do is to learn to create space for your shot. You will find several of our videos that show you how to do this. One key is the "Step Back." There are several others that will help also. Check them out and keep us posted on your progress.
@Leanmass916; Well, the "diamond" got the job done there,no? It is an effective move and keeps the defender off you. Once is while, you may ding them in the nose and that reminds them to give you space even if you are called for a foul. This is nice for "creating Space."
hi all these vids are really good, thanks for posting them! do you have any videos on finishing for ppl who cant really jump? *thus tends to get blked easily etc.
@leontanko: Hey leon, check out our video on the "Finishes at the Rim." This is the answer to you getting blocked. Keep us up to date on your development.
@kaitlinnnnn56 do some..assists..rebound..why concentrate on your scoring..it's a team effort..if you have 5 assists and 10 points average..summed them up its 20 points average..
@XxXbigstarXx: Well, the best thing to do is to get them to trust you with the ball. This usually takes time and maybe you don't have that time before the play-offs. We recommend that you work hard on your skills for next season to prove to them that you can take care of the ball and can score. Good luck in your play-offs.
hey coach how do you handle a speedy player that zips pass you when he gets the ball. also ive tried cutting him off but it leads to me getting ran over.

@PlaidSoxs, it definitely works! We have players at all levels using it and if you watch closely, a lot of the pros even use this to create some space from the defense. Keep trying it and you'll develop some instincts on how to react to the defense.
@PlaidSoxs: Hey Sox: It does work, maybe you are not executing it properly! Please go back and check it out again and see if you are forgetting one or several of the important points. It should back the defender off. If they do crowd you, you might have to catch their nose with an elbow to make the point!! Get it?
joe: How cool it is to be able to help players from all over the world. Thanks for your comment and stay tuned. Watch for our new "STREET TEAM" due out this month.
what if u fake the deffender after the diamond and go in for a lay up or pass. Or even if the deffenders still close then i think youshud fake em while hes behind you and once hes faked pull up make it or draw a foul.You shud only do this once you gottn past your deffender and the big mans waiting for you.Also you can try to get an assist that will make ure teamates go crazy if you get the assist after faking ure deffender and the big man

Actually, if you're already by the defender, you NEVER want to slow down with a fake to let them catch up with you. If you're by them, take the ball all the way to the hoop and take it up STRONG. If he tries to go up with you and he's behind you, chances are he's going to foul you if you take it hard. There's no reason to let them catch up with you if you've already got them beat!!!
Definitely let us know how it works for you! It's an aggressive move, so you might get a whistle on it, but the defense will be thinking about it next time. Also, after you work on this for a while, you'll figure out how to use it and avoid getting the foul called. Keep us up-to-date!
@PokeAsian11 if they don't back off of you, you must immediately drive past them. If someone is crowding you and you do the diamond without them responding, you just need to continue through and go by them.
Poke: They will not back off. The idea is to "hammer" the hand check so that you can get by them. If they are players they will not back off or give up. This is merely a technique to use to get them off your body as you attack the basket. Go back over this video again and you will see what we mean.
Hey ShotScience, I was wondering if u guys can make a video about driving the lane or attacking the basket. Every time I drive the lane I get intimidated by the big guys in the paint right after I get past my defender. Which results in to a blocked shot or a turnover. Any tips? Thx in advance.
thanks but everytime i try to do this i step to the defenders foot and that interrupts the whole motion. what am i doing wrong? sorry for bad english, i'm from germany.

frankwallace36 1 year ago
@frankwallace36It should hel a lot. Something else that works well when you are being pressured by the defender, they are up and into you and you still have a dribble. Immediately go on them with a hard dribble and they will usually foul you.

i have a question when i excute my pull up i end up short can u explain why?
therealdeal3161 1 year ago
@therealdeal3161: Well typically, this is caused by holding on to the ball too long at the top of your jump, or "being late on your release." When we tend to hang on our shot it is usually short of the target. Work on releasing the ball as you reach the top of your jump. Let us know how this works out for you.

@Djlisjli: Well, you may be expecting too much , too soon!!!! It takes several weeks of pretty intensive work to re-establish the muscle memory for a new stroke pattern. Give it some time and really practice using our "Form Shooting Drill" and you may be surprised. Don't give up! Learning anything new takes time.

I thought raising my elbow that high or hitiing their hands is a foul?
00610228 1 year ago
@00610228: Nope, sorry there are no rules about how high the elbows can be. There are rules about how you use those elbows. There are no rules about hitting their hands with your elbows either, but you cannot use them to "bust them in the nose" either. Go back and check this video again and note that this technique allows you to create space from the defender when he is pressing up on you.

@seanpbg: sean, we believe that the most important thing that you can do is to learn to create space for your shot. You will find several of our videos that show you how to do this. One key is the "Step Back." There are several others that will help also. Check them out and keep us posted on your progress.

Leanmass916 1 year ago
@Leanmass916; Well, the "diamond" got the job done there,no? It is an effective move and keeps the defender off you. Once is while, you may ding them in the nose and that reminds them to give you space even if you are called for a foul. This is nice for "creating Space."

XxXbigstarXx 1 year ago
@XxXbigstarXx: Well, the best thing to do is to get them to trust you with the ball. This usually takes time and maybe you don't have that time before the play-offs. We recommend that you work hard on your skills for next season to prove to them that you can take care of the ball and can score. Good luck in your play-offs.

@PlaidSoxs, it definitely works! We have players at all levels using it and if you watch closely, a lot of the pros even use this to create some space from the defense. Keep trying it and you'll develop some instincts on how to react to the defense.
ShotScience 1 year ago
@PlaidSoxs: Hey Sox: It does work, maybe you are not executing it properly! Please go back and check it out again and see if you are forgetting one or several of the important points. It should back the defender off. If they do crowd you, you might have to catch their nose with an elbow to make the point!! Get it?

what if u fake the deffender after the diamond and go in for a lay up or pass. Or even if the deffenders still close then i think youshud fake em while hes behind you and once hes faked pull up make it or draw a foul.You shud only do this once you gottn past your deffender and the big mans waiting for you.Also you can try to get an assist that will make ure teamates go crazy if you get the assist after faking ure deffender and the big man

janjua8 1 year ago
Actually, if you're already by the defender, you NEVER want to slow down with a fake to let them catch up with you. If you're by them, take the ball all the way to the hoop and take it up STRONG. If he tries to go up with you and he's behind you, chances are he's going to foul you if you take it hard. There's no reason to let them catch up with you if you've already got them beat!!!

purplesbububles12 1 year ago
Definitely let us know how it works for you! It's an aggressive move, so you might get a whistle on it, but the defense will be thinking about it next time. Also, after you work on this for a while, you'll figure out how to use it and avoid getting the foul called. Keep us up-to-date!

@PokeAsian11 if they don't back off of you, you must immediately drive past them. If someone is crowding you and you do the diamond without them responding, you just need to continue through and go by them.

Hey ShotScience, I try doing the Hammer on a few people but when I do it, they don't back off. Did I do something wrong?
PokeAsian11 2 years ago
Poke: They will not back off. The idea is to "hammer" the hand check so that you can get by them. If they are players they will not back off or give up. This is merely a technique to use to get them off your body as you attack the basket. Go back over this video again and you will see what we mean.
