ABSTRACT:
A method is provided for improving a basketball players's shooting skills. A basketball player's shooting skills are improved by aligning a shooting arm with a mirror containing a guiding chaser light. A players's arm follows the vertical movement of the light to the rim in a straight motion, as the basketball is released. This action correctly positions the players' arm in reference to the chaser light bulb. Once a shooting throw is taken, using the product, it will enable the player to achieve the correct arc and trajectory release. The mirror containing the guiding chaser light is placed between the shooter and the basketball rim at any distance allowing the shooter to have visual contact with both the target and the mirror itself, simultaneously, allowing self-correction to take place. The method promotes three vital ingredients to increase correct shooting skills: 1. Muscle memory; 2. Hand and eye coordination; and 3. Allows the shooter to square up correctly.
