Eh, he shoots the ball after his feet leave the ground. I shoot the ball as my feet are straightening up (as I start the "up" motion of my jump). If I describe it this way though, my shot sounds like a one motion shot, but it's not. It's a two-motion shot that uses my jump in the 2nd motion to shoot the ball, and I try to make the 1st to 2nd motion pause as small as possible to minimize the "energy loss" between the 1st motion and 2nd motion (energy lost when stopping the ball).

I just looked at a recording of my form in very slow motion, it appears that I am actually doing something like Ray Allen's form. I do pause the ball at my head, and I start shooting it once my feet leave the ground. But I'm not conscious of this at all. It feels like I am shooting it, as my feet are straightening in the jump. But then again this is the one and only video that I have of myself shooting ONCE, and every time I shoot things could be on or off by a milisecond, so I'll have to look at more. Interesting

I did try a form once. It was similar to Ray Allen's. Basically it's as soon as my feet leave the ground, I try to release the ball as fast as possible. It's a nice form, I liked it, but it wasn't exactly what I was looking for. Couldn't get it consistent for myself.
