The Shooting Window allows basketball players to develop and practice their shooter’s touch. A “shooter’s touch” is a well developed understanding in the amount of force necessary to use with a shooter’s release and shot distance. A comfortable amount of force can be exerted upward, and furthermore, matched with the necessary distance by practicing with the Shooting Window.

Often, up-close shots, where distance is so close that a shooter may easily exert too much force, are thought to need a shooter’s touch. Even at the free throw line, well-developed muscular players are thought to need a shooters touch. The Shooting Window provides a consistent arc height necessary for comfortable force and shooting mechanics for up-close shots.

Typically, a “shooter’s touch” is referred to as a smooth, soft shot with just the right amount of force. Players simply try so hard to put just the right, soft touch on the ball, that they prevent themselves from using the same crucial shooting mechanics as they normally would. Often, a shooter’s touch is mistakenly interpreted and practiced by shooters as an alteration to their normal release. Common mistakes in shooting mechanics for up-close shots are low arm extension and/or less flick of the wrist; often recognized as not following-through.

The Shooting Window eliminates a player of even thinking of needing a “shooter’s touch”. The Shooting Window provides a consistent arc height necessary for comfortable force and shooting mechanics for up-close shots. You don’t have to change your mechanics or struggle finding just the right touch. You simply adjust the shooting window’s height to accommodate for the excessive force resulting from your comfortable and correct release.
