Title: A couple Vids of myself....1st time ever
Post by: BrunsMike on January 27, 2008, 03:00:56 PM: Okay im no Nick Smith but heres 2 videos.. Recently Ive been in a slump and decided to get a few shots of myself. Sorry for the sideways shots, I thought I could edit the videos to fix it turns out I can't. So, any constructive criticizm welcome. Any comments that are obviously meant to cut me down will be ignored as I expect those to show up.

I used to do the same thing, thinking I was getting a little more hand into it, but found out later that more precise timing gave me a much better ball reaction.

For me, I want to release the ball into a roll (very little/no loft) and make sure the release coincides with the arrival of my plant foot to the foul line. In other words, my foot stops and I release the ball at the same time.

Obviously everyone is different, and what works for me may not work for you, but that is the first thing I would try if you were looking to change something.

A half ten is not a great shot. No, you shouldn't have carried it.

Post by: BrunsMike on January 28, 2008, 03:46:54 PM: There will be new videos taken in a few weeks. As I had already stated in my opening post, I thought I could edit the video's to where they arent sideways like they are. Once I got everything uploaded to my program I quickly realized I can not do this kind of editing. Sorry for the kinked necks but I did warn you guys in the opening post.

Mike, I'd love to comment on your Video but I'm having a problem with the weight of my Monitor, I've never had to lay it on it's side to watch a Video before!

that was too funny! if you have windows movie maker, you could rotate it 90 degrees. but to sum it up coachlefty & SprayNpray pretty much hit it on the head.
