I′ve been playing basketball for a few years now, and I′ve always struggled with my shooting. No matter how much I practiced, it felt like my shots were inconsistent. It wasn′t until I started tracking my shot data that I realized the importance of contact quality—how cleanly the ball leaves my hand and its trajectory. This made me wonder: How does optimizing contact quality specifically impact a player′s shooting performance? Are there any analytics or metrics that can help identify areas for improvement in this regard?
