In Addition To Coach Torbett, Who's On The Video?

To demonstrate Better Shooting 2nd Edition's techniques, we used players from all levels and all areas of the globe. Below is a list. Regardless of your age, gender, or location, there will be players on the video that are at your level, illustrating the video's techniques. And the use of both men's and women's pro footage proves the techniques work in real games!

Section A: PREREQUISITES FOR TRAINING

The second secret in Section A, "The Best Kept Secret to Shot Training", will show you how to get rid of those nasty bad habits that will slow down significant improvement. This method isn’t theory! You’ll even hear a couple of examples of how real players used this method to replace poor shooting techniques with good habits that led them to success. What’s the secret? Get Better Shooting 2, and find out.

Section B: SHOOTING TECHNIQUE

Section B is the meat of shot development, and the video's longest section. It contains three chapters purely on the physical aspects of building a game winning shot. These chapters serve as the backbone of shot development in that they build your shot from the beginning, as if it is the first time you’ve picked up a ball! By the time you finish this section, you will be able to shoot in any game situation: on the move without the ball, from a triple attack stance, off the dribble, and always with the correct footwork for the right situation.

Chapter 1: HOW TO BUILD YOUR SHOT; STEP BY STEP

The title says it all. The DVD’s first chapter is HOW to build your shot form, step by step, without any explanations, without any why. We skipped the why (for now) because this is a chapter that you may be revisiting time and time again, so we wanted to keep it short for you. All of the detailed rationale is spelled out and explained in Chapter 3! This chapter contains all of the steps for development: the stance needed to recruit power from your legs; hand position on the ball before, during, and even following the shot; and how everything works together to start, stroke, and guide the ball along your shotline to the center of the goal. Want to know how to "ride your power wave?" Find out in chapter 1. This technique is why even young kids of 8 or 9 should be able to shoot from deep, by riding their power wave. 11 minutes, 27 seconds

Chapter 2: HOW TO BUILD YOUR FOOTWORK; STEP BY STEP

Chapter 2, which is on building footwork, picks up where Chapter 1 leaves off. In fact, chapters one and two are simply two halves of the whole shot development sequence. This chapter will prepare your feet for the game movements that lead you into every shot. This video is not built to make you a great HORSE shooter, it's built to make you a great shooter in REAL GAMES, whether you’re shooting off the dribble, catching and shooting, or shooting from triple threat. You’ll learn the 10 specific foot movements by watching JJ Redick perform each one. Then you’ll see an example of each movement in real games by men and women professional players from all over the globe. 10 minutes, 58 seconds

Chapter 3: NOW TELL ME WHY; STEP BY STEP

If you want to know the exact why for each and every aspect of the in Chapter 1, then the explanations are here, in chapter 3. But chapter 3 goes beyond simply satisfying your curiosity for details. Sometimes you need to hear an aspect of your shot development said in a different way or illustrated in another manner before it really sinks in. Understanding why you do what you do is the first step towards breaking unsuccessful habits and replacing them with the techniques that will lead you to the next level. It’s a long, but absolutely necessary chapter. It will serve you well to truly understand what a great shot really is, and the result will be a fulfilling journey to developing a great shot for yourself. 26 minutes, 33 seconds

Section C: SPECIFIC TRAINING

Section C details the three most common areas that need isolated attention in order to create new muscle memory. Whether you’re a veteran or a beginner, you may have a specific part of your shot motion that must be developed to a greater degree before you can see an overall improvement in your shot.

Chapter 4: TRAINING INTRODUCTION

Chapter 4 introduces chapters 5, 6, and 7. It explains WHY these chapters have been included. Helping you to understand the benefit of these chapters is so important, we needed to make it a chapter of its own. 2 minutes, 24 seconds

Chapter 5: TRAINING YOUR SHOOTING STROKE

Chapter 5 addresses the final touch that you’ll put on the ball at the end of the shot motion, the shooter's stroke. Even if everything else in a player's shot is correct, if he or she has a bad stroke, they're going to be a bad shooter. On the other hand, regardless of differences in footwork, how high they jump, or almost any other factor, all great shooters have a great touch at the end of their shot motion. In addition to explaining the technique, multiple drills designed to build and refine the shooting stroke are included. You’ll learn how to drill it by yourself, standing up, lying down, even in a chair! 5 minutes, 37 seconds

Chapter 6: TRAINING YOUR SHOT LINE

Chapter 6 will teach you to train both your all important shot line, and your overall form, without the use of a goal. Because, in some situations, training your shot form on the basket is not the best thing to do. It’s so easy to get so caught up with making the ball go in, that you forget what you’re working on. The solution for this problem requires moving away from the basket and getting on a line. This is one of the best ways to focus solely on training the ball to stay on your shot line. You can get in a high amount of reps in a short period of time since you won’t be chasing the ball all over the court. You’ll also see two young players drill every aspect of shot development from chapters one and two by using a line on the floor, instead of a basket! 10 minutes, 13 seconds

Chapter 7: TRAINING THE EYES OF A SHOOTER

Chapter 7 is a unique chapter, especially when you consider all of the possible shooting drills that are out there. Shooting a basketball has always been, and always will be, the ultimate test of eye-hand coordination. There are hundred of drills to develop the hands, but where are all the drills to develop your eyes! Part of the reason there are not many drills for your eyes is how complicated the eyes are. For example, in the video, Coach Torbett notes that in Byte Computer Magazine, Dr. John Stevens states that it would take the Cray super-computer a minimum of 100 years to simulate what takes place in your eye many times every single second! Well, Better Basketball has drills that will improve your eyes. In the still to the right, WNBA player Shay Doron demonstrates one that is guaranteed to challenge you, and increase your accuracy at the same time. 4 minutes, 05 seconds

Section D: WHAT ABOUT...?

Section D contains the "WHAT ABOUT THESE?" chapters. When shooting is being discussed, the subjects of these two chapters will often rise to the surface, and create debate! Better Basketball refuses to leave a stone unturned, and proves it in chapters 8 and 9.

Chapter 8: THE WOMEN'S CHAPTER

Chapter 8 is Better Basketball’s answer to the question "WHAT ABOUT OUR FEMALE PLAYERS?" Shooting technique and training is no different for females than it is for males. At least, it shouldn’t be! However, since there seems to be a perception from many people that there is a difference, and since women are seen making different kinds of errors in their shooting form than males, Better Shooting has a chapter dedicated solely to female players. You’ll learn the origins of these errors and what can be done to correct them. But we don’t stop there. Like the rest of the video, we’ll show how making these adjustments benefits females in every shooting situation! 8 minutes, 25 seconds

Chapter 9: WHAT ABOUT THESE SHOTS?

When shooting is the subject, many think only of the jumpshot and the free throw. What else is there? What about the bank shot, the tricky 5-foot pull-up, long distance shooting, shooting in the post, and lay-ups? These types of shots must be included when shooting is being taught, so chapter nine breaks down the adjustments that are needed to round out your shooting skills in these areas, thereby making you a complete shooter. 9 minutes, 46 seconds

Section E: WHERE THE RUBBER MEETS THE ROAD

This section describes the realistic training methods needed to take all the techniques from the previous nine chapters and put them into practice. Remember, it doesn’t matter how much you learn about proper shot form if you never pick up a ball. These chapters explain your "ball-in-hand" development steps.

Chapter 10: SHOT TRAINING FOR THE SERIOUS

Until now, the only way you could get the contents of this chapter would be to train privately with lead instructor Rick Torbett. This is HOW everything from chapter one and chapter two is trained into your body and developed into your shooting habits. This is where you’ll pay the price that must be paid to become a great shooter. A very unique Shot Development Chart, emphasizing 20 specific shooting points (ten on form, ten on footwork), will be included with your video. Using it, you’ll follow a proven, tried and true workout that will improve your shooting forever. Your daily, written log will keep you on track, keep you accountable, and encourage you to stay on course until your goals are realized. And after 20 workouts, you’ll discover a unique way this chart can even help you get out of a slump - while you’re playing in a real game! 11 minutes, 06 seconds

Chapter 11 , Chapter 12

BONUS SECTION: JJ REDICK

INTRODUCTION, CONCLUSION, & FINAL THOUGHTS

In addition to its five Sections and JJ Redick Bonus Section, Better Shooting 2 contains a brief introduction and a 5-minute conclusion, rounding out the 3 hours and 36 minutes of running time. Plus, an incredible TEN interactive menus on the DVD version make navigation easy. With the click of a button, you can quickly review those sections most applicable to your improvement (and with a DVD this detailed, we know you will).

The purpose of this video is to explain, inspire, demonstrate and illustrate how you can develop a shot that has minimum parts, maximum efficiency, and can be easily applied to all the types of shots used in real game situations. We’ve used every possible teaching tool to achieve that goal. We’ve used middle school, high school, college, and pro players, of both genders, in order to show that these shooting skills can be performed by anyone, at any age, with any body type. Professional men’s and women’s game footage is even employed to illustrate the basketball shooting concepts. And not only does the video teach the physical aspects of shot development, but we delve into the mind of what it takes to be a great shooter, including picking the brain of JJ Redick. And finally, you'll even learn how to train with the new training chapter and chart (chapter 10).

If you can shoot a high percentage, you can play at any level. Then, if you can add the techniques from Better Ball Handling, Better 1-on-1 Offense, and Better Post Play, you will become an unstoppable threat with the ball. Add the skills on Better Passing, Better 1 on 1 Defense, and Scoring Without the Ball, and you will become a complete player. With the Better Basketball DVD Collection, we have given you the tools to succeed in basketball! Now, it's up to you to add dedication, discipline, and sweat to become a better basketball player!
