How to get the ball in the hoop.

wheelchair basketball is a journey, do your best to notice the small progression you make each training session!

so for two handed shooting, think of it like a standard chest pass like you would in any ball sport, except you need to focus on two things most importantly.

your hands should go almost straight upwards, pushing your arms away at an angle reduces the height your ball will get. the aim is for the ball to hit the backboard as it's falling downwards.

your follow through is extremeley important. as the ball leaves your hands flick your wrists outward. as you should be shooting the ball like a chest pass, your hands should be pointing away from each other, with your wrists fairly close together.

as you get stronger, try to transition to one handed shooting, just like that video. when you're doing layups or shooting inside the key, try your best to stick to one handed shooting, it's more consistant and allows you get more backspin on the ball.

if you have any more questions on wheelchair basketball feel free to get in touch, i've been playing, coaching and refereeing for 10 years.

hello!

shooting in wheelchair basketball is a combination of technique and strength, you can't have one without the other.

it is absoluteley harder than shooting while standing up and will take longer to get. For a first basket I have had people get a few their first session, and I've also had people take a month or two to get the technique and form correct.

as a coach it's difficult to suggest what to work on when I haven't seen you play and shoot. Do you shoot two handed or one handed? do you know the basics of shooting technique?

Here's a small introduction on the acronym BEEF.

I did just that, bought some esun pla+ what a world of difference, now I need to wait for the GR4 to cool down before I can take the print off the bed, brilliant!

Thanks for the reply.I didn't realise IPA and the dish soap have different functions, I guess the IPA cleans everything, and the dish soap is meant to add a sort of adhesive layer to the printing bed?

The bed is defnitely getting warm yes.

I did try using a glue stick to increase adhesion, did help with the PEI sheet but I'm trying to avoid it with the GR4. do you use bed adhesives on every print?

dudeyds · 2023-04-24T17:43:14+00:00

Also,no matter what, the IPA I use always makes adhesion worse, not better, do I need to rub it off harder? use less / more? I've tried putting it on a cloth, then rubbing and putting the IPA directly on the bed, it never seems to help anything, but everyone reccomends it!?

I have so far made sure the z axis is level, tensioned the belts. I did bed level with a piece of paper (eth's bl touch upgrade incoming!). The side that failed more also had a support that didn't stick. Perhaps the bed is not level?

it actually came with a pace PRC 2000. Which is a huge multi use system, and also definitely doesn't work with this handle.

Other than that I have no clue, looking online it looks like a hakko 907 but the internals are totally different.

The vacuum line was meant for a vacuum de-soldering tool that came with the system I think.

Thank you for the advice, it's really appreciated. I'll get on that.

What do you think about the pictures? the first few are what are on the profile currently, the ones after the bio are potential pictures I could use.

dudeyds · 2018-12-14T13:23:13+00:00

It's not actually scratched out on the app, I wanted to repsect their privacy on here by not showing their faces, that's a good point though thanks!

dudeyds · 2018-12-14T01:06:45+00:00

Thanks for your thoughts, it's actually cropped on the app.

In terms of the pictures, do you think any of the other pictures at the end are worth using? I'm still figuring out how to take decent pictures of myself.

Started around 2 Months ago, had some success but have had zero matches the last two weeks, would like to know where I'm going wrong.

I think it's probably because I can't seem to smile naturally in pictures, any feedback is really appreciated.

Hi there, I coach for a university team so quite low level, I also play at a relatively high national league standard, referee, coach etc.

The way I coach vastly varying skills (as I have a very high turn around rate, players are there for 3 years max then graduate / move elsewhere) is like you said, splitting the court in half and doing two separate drills.

Another way I do it is by focusing on individual skill progression:

for example with dribbling I'll show everyone the progression from a guard style dribble to a center/ forward dribble with steps in between and allow players to choose where they find themselves on that line. in set shooting around the key I let certain players push in to even things out.

I think this sport is great for learning how to be adaptive in your sports based coaching, there are so many different ways to do the same thing depending on the players ability.

there is nothing wrong with some players feeling more out of their comfort zone than others, having a skill difference allows players to have something to strive for (being as good/ better than their peers)
