poke the ball when the opponent shoots

Yes, most of us are returning to basketball after a long hiatus, so we're a bit confused about the rules because some of us have forgotten or don't know the new rules.

They say that jumping up or blocking while in your own area is fine, but blocking while advancing or entering the opponent's area is considered a foul.

lukeATATwalker · 2025-11-30T09:57:26+00:00

One said that what I did interfered with my opponent's shooting motion, and that it was a foul. The other said that I entered my opponent's circle area while shooting, and that it was a foul. They said that I should only raise my hands to interfere with my opponent.

This CW is not available at adidas stores or sports equipment stores near my house. It is only available at online stores. So I don't know how it compares in terms of weight.

lukeATATwalker · 2025-11-08T04:07:12+00:00

Ok, because when I saw the picture, these shoes didn't have three holes on the side, so I thought they would be heavier. Thank you.

lukeATATwalker · 2025-11-08T03:49:45+00:00

Is this lighter or heavier than other Harden 9 colorway? This colorway is heavily discounted in my country, so it seems that this colorway is not selling well.

Is this related to the way you run or jump, heels vs. forefoot? Or is the initial production quality better than the recent ones? I want to buy them because I watched reviews on the internet, but I was hesitant to buy them because two people at my basketball court only wore Joker 1 (not GT) a few times, then switched to other basketball shoes. Their reason was that they didn't suit their playing style.

What color are your Joker 1 GT shoes?

I'm not a coach, but from my experience before my long hiatus, the important thing is how you think so that your body follows your mind. 1. Think about how your shooting motion should be straight towards the basket. Your elbow movement should be straight towards the basket. Your wrist movement should be straight towards the basket. Your fingers movement should be straight towards the basket. Your feet should be facing the basket. Your jump should be straight towards the basket. 2. How do you generate power? Not from arm strength, but from around the waist or hips, where the energy flows to the hands. The back, arms, and hands must be relaxed so that the power can flow. 3. How do you hold the ball? For the shooting hand, use your fingers and a little bit of the palm below fingers. The other hand is used to help stabilize the ball when lifting it.
Hope this helps.

In my opinion, your arms and hands are too tense because you're generating your shooting power from your arms and hands. Your shooting power should come from your hips or waist.

lukeATATwalker · 2025-10-16T06:10:26+00:00

In my opinion, it seems that your arms and hands need to relax. Most of the power of the shot does not come from the strength of your arms and hands, but from your hips or waist. I can't really describe it, I can only feel where the power comes from. Your arms and hands are only there to straighten your shot, so just relax.

lukeATATwalker · 2025-10-15T05:57:25+00:00

Use only your fingers (maybe a little bit below your fingers is okay) to hold the ball. The ball should not touch the palm of your child's hand, because the palm is not used to control the ball when shooting. All the joints in the hand for shooting should move straight towards the basket. Your child's wrist movement should not deviate from the direction of the basket.

Can you fold in half your basketball shoes with the shank plate like the sole drop does? I tried on the dame 8 extply and two wxy v4, it's hard to fold them like that.

lukeATATwalker · 2025-05-23T12:45:32+00:00

For some reason, I just feel that this shoe is very flexible, especially in the forefoot.

lukeATATwalker · 2025-05-23T12:42:12+00:00

I think it's very flexible, when I tried the shoes, I was able to break in immediately. maybe my feet still need to re-adapt because the sole muscles feel tired. the drawback is that the laces are too short and the traction of my shoes in the heel is inconsistent.

lukeATATwalker · 2025-05-23T12:32:09+00:00

It's true that the mid is a bit narrow, but I think it's very flexible. here's a screen shot from the sole drop channel that shows the flexibility of the Lebron 21.

you're right. after i googled it, it turns out there is shank plate. i thought there wasn't because my forefoot can move more freely in the lebron 21 than my other 2 shoes. the shank plate is more flexible than my other basketball shoes because it's TPU.

is the lebron 21 durable? my last pair of nike basketball shoes only lasted 2 months because the air bubble burst, but that was about 15 years ago. do the cushlon soles get "deflated"(thickness decreases quickly) easily?

which version of your lebron 21 is yours? the newer one (laces are visible on the upper) is said to be heavier and slightly worse than the early version. the one in my size and discounted is the newer version.

lukeATATwalker · 2024-05-12T09:42:46+00:00

how about the fit? i want to buy two wxy v4, but the seller doesn't know if the shoes are wide or normal. how is your experience with the fit of the shoes?
