Learn how it works
Everything about filming your shot, what our AI looks for, and how to get the most out of every analysis.

Step 1
Film your shot the right way
- Stand on the shooting-arm side, halfway between in front of the shooter and beside them. For a right-hander, that is out to their right-front, about 45 degrees. Not under the basket and not straight on: from straight in front the camera looks along the elbow's bend and cannot tell a proper L from a wide V.
- Hold the phone at chest height and keep it still. Not down low, not walking.
- Whole body in frame, head to feet, and close. The player should fill most of the height of the picture — from across the gym the elbow and hands are too small to read.
- Start recording before the dip and keep rolling through the landing. The stance is graded from the moment before the shooter rises; a clip that starts at the gather has no stance in it.
- One shot per video — a few seconds is all it needs. MP4 or MOV, straight from your phone.
- Want arc and rotation graded too? Film a second clip from the side, with the ball's whole flight and the rim in frame.

Step 3
Read your report, then re-test
Your report shows a score and coaching notes for every criterion. Pick one or two things to work on, put in the reps, then analyze again — your history tracks how each part of your form improves over time.
Tokens & teams
Each analysis uses one token. Buy them one at a time, get them included with the training ball, or join a team — coaches and organizations can send tokens straight to their players and track the whole roster from the team dashboard.
