Love this tip! Definitely going to use when coaching kids not to “snatch” at the ball. Love the 100lb ball analogy to visualize it

Awesome, glad it was helpful! 🙌🏾

I have a question about stringing- How do nylons and shooters influence a shot? Does it give you more whip? Would a low pocket with little whip need a shooter and a high pocket with lots of whipe not need a shooing string?

That is a great questions. Shooting strings & nylons are all about "feel." Any well-strung pocket should perform adequately without any shooters. The purpose os a shooting string is to lift the ball out of the pocket as it travels through the channel, to the target. A normal "cotton" shooting string will make for a softer feel as the ball releases. A nylon shooting string will give more of a 'thud' feeling when releasing the ball. Most people use 2 straight cotton shooting strings bc that is what most people see. A higher pocket will need less shooters because the ball has less space to travel before it releases. A lower pocket can use 3 shooters for a more smooth, gradual release, or you can use one lower straight shooting string to have the ball release a bit earlier. Hope this helps!
