Basketball Shooting System: BEEF vs FOREST

I was just tried out the FOREST, and it really help, I focus on adjust few aspect of my shooting like F finger I want to get my finger and hand more align with the basket on the follow through, and the Dip this one really interesting the more I dip the better the power of the shot, so I just gonna find the right spot the most natural and effective spot to dip, and finally the Sweep and sway, this one is important also, actually most of the time when we see shooter shoot a ball we didnt really focus on their shooting form we mostly look at if the ball goes in the net, unless we really slow down and pay attention to their shoot, and Most of them had Sweep and sway!! The video above have a more detail explaination.

Strength training and explosive training on shooting

Started from last week onward I was involving in explosive training for my vertical jump training, after the 2nd workout session , I found something changed on my shooting.

After the 2nd explosive workout, I found that the release of my shooting was quicker with more force applied on the basketball which I heard a sharp sound when the ball went through the net, I started to realize something change on my body, it was the training that affected my shooting and ... ... I was excited. 

It was like discover a new island which never yet exist on current map, it opened up a new world to me. I started realize how some star player like Russell Westbrook in NBA can have a quick jumpshot in their skillset, it is because they jump quicker.

Contrast to strength phase of the vertical training, strength phase made my shooting much slower, which I felt a glue between the ball and my finger. 

During strength phase, my body was much slower and feeling heavier, the effect of strength training was like making the ball on my hand weigh 200-300 grams heavier than the original weigh.

  In conclusion, personally I prefer the shooting quicker rather than slow, because even if I don't play competitive ball game, the quicker release made me feel I have much smoother and much effective shoot. 

Vertical testing

Done some vert test this afternoon:

standing vert: 21/22 inch
running 2 feet: 25/26 inch

this is vert test after VJB intermediate strength template.

I know still got room to improve, I think at least I need 40 or 45 inch for me to dunk, even if it seems like quite a long journey, but I will enjoy the process. 

My next training will be focus on explosiveness, I think it is the area I need to improve. So I will be doing some explosive work. 

Lastly, I really enjoy the feeling when I get it to the air, when I was young I always imagine I can fly like a bird or I can be like spiderman, (I'm a spidey fan), I want to fly. I like the feeling.
