You’re probably right. To say that Hopla’s form isn’t great is probably silly. ‘Good’ and ‘Great’ are immeasurable, relative terms anyways. It was said more or less to prove a point that you don’t need perfect shooting mechanics to shoot the ball with a high percentage.

Thank you for the kind words about the Shooting System!

You’re correct about the photo. You cannot take one photo and accurately assess a shooter. It seems to me the photo was taken well after the shot and his arms are heading towards the relaxed position- who knows how fatigued he was- he may have just finished 300 shots. I’d guess if you saw him in video or framed photo you’d gather what many have about the guy. ‘He is a great “clinician” of the most important skill in the game – shooting. And a great tactician is needed considering shooting % has been on the decline the past two decades.

I also like and own Herb Magee and Tom Nordland DVD’s (I bought Nordland’s two Swish DVD’s after reviewing your information). Herb Magee for his ‘shooting through the guide hand’ and his thumb closing and 2 fingers adding the last soft touch to the flight of the ball. Tom Nordland for his “UpForce” and the ‘Pure Release’. Great stuff! They each have their thing which is why I appreciate your work in ‘Breakthrough Basketball Shooting System’ which brings the best of the best shooting experts wisdom into one good resource. A Basketball Shooting Holy Grail. You saved me lots of study time. I coach two AAU teams and am an acknowledged ‘basketball junkie’. My three sons and two teams and I have submitted to these teachings and they have improved markedly. Good work. Kindest Regards, Coach Moore
