Table of Contents for Better Basketball Shooting 2 DVD
Section A is "pre-content." It contains 3 secrets that are prerequisites for the technique and training in the video, which is everything that follows Section A.
In the first secret, entitled "PRACTICE: 8 Secrets to Real Training", lead instructor Rick Torbett let’s you know that there’ll be no sugar-coating regarding what it takes to become a great shooter. To get there, you must engage in real training. Actually, "Realistic" training is the best way to put it. If you want to improve your shot, then you’ll have to put these secrets into practice.
The second secret in Section A, "The Best Kept Secret to Shot Training", will show you how to get rid of those nasty bad habits that will slow down significant improvement. This method isn’t theory! You’ll even hear a couple of examples of how real players used this method to replace poor shooting techniques with good habits that led them to success. What’s the secret? Get Better Shooting 2, and find out."The Best Kept Secret to Mental Training" is the third secret in Section A. Shooting involves muscle memory that must be trained into your physical body. The gateway to the body is the mind and in order to train your body, you must start by training your mind. Have you noticed how the word "Training" keeps creeping in to these titles? That’s because knowledge in itself is not enough. You’ll see this Section A’s themes recurring throughout the video. That’s why it was placed first.
Chapter 1: HOW TO BUILD YOUR SHOT; STEP BY STEP
The title says it all. The DVD’s first chapter is HOW to build your shot form, step by step, without any explanations, without any why. We skipped the why (for now) because this is a chapter that you may be revisiting time and time again, so we wanted to keep it short for you. All of the detailed rationale is spelled out and explained in Chapter 3!
This chapter contains all of the steps for development: the stance needed to recruit power from your legs; hand position on the ball before, during, and even following the shot; and how everything works together to start, stroke, and guide the ball along your shotline to the center of the goal.
Want to know how to "ride your power wave?" Find out in chapter 1. This technique is why even young kids of 8 or 9 should be able to shoot from deep, by riding their power wave.

Chapter 2: HOW TO BUILD YOUR FOOTWORK; STEP BY STEP
Chapter 2, which is on building footwork, picks up where Chapter 1 leaves off. In fact, chapters one and two are simply two halves of the whole shot development sequence.
This chapter will prepare your feet for the game movements that lead you into every shot. This video is not built to make you a great HORSE shooter, it's built to make you a great shooter in REAL GAMES, whether you’re shooting off the dribble, catching and shooting, or shooting from triple threat.
You’ll learn the 10 specific foot movements by watching JJ Redick perform each one. Then you’ll see an example of each movement in real games by men and women professional players from all over the globe.
10 minutes, 58 seconds
Chapter 3: NOW TELL ME WHY; STEP BY STEP
If you want to know the exact why for each and every aspect of the in Chapter 1, then the explanations are here, in chapter 3.
But chapter 3 goes beyond simply satisfying your curiosity for details. Sometimes you need to hear an aspect of your shot development said in a different way or illustrated in another manner before it really sinks in. Understanding why you do what you do is the first step towards breaking unsuccessful habits and replacing them with the techniques that will lead you to the next level.
It’s a long, but absolutely necessary chapter. It will serve you well to truly understand what a great shot really is, and the result will be a fulfilling journey to developing a great shot for yourself.
26 minutes, 33 seconds
Chapter 4: TRAINING INTRODUCTION
Chapter 4 introduces chapters 5, 6, and 7. It explains WHY these chapters have been included.
Helping you to understand the benefit of these chapters is so important, we needed to make it a chapter of its own.
2 minutes, 24 seconds
Chapter 5: TRAINING YOUR SHOOTING STROKE
Chapter 5 addresses the final touch that you’ll put on the ball at the end of the shot motion, the shooter's stroke.
Even if everything else in a player's shot is correct, if he or she has a bad stroke, they're going to be a bad shooter. On the other hand, regardless of differences in footwork, how high they jump, or almost any other factor, all great shooters have a great touch at the end of their shot motion.
In addition to explaining the technique, multiple drills designed to build and refine the shooting stroke are included. You’ll learn how to drill it by yourself, standing up, lying down, even in a chair!
5 minutes, 37 seconds
Chapter 6: TRAINING YOUR SHOT LINE
Chapter 6 will teach you to train both your all important shot line, and your overall form, without the use of a goal. Because, in some situations, training your shot form on the basket is not the best thing to do. It’s so easy to get so caught up with making the ball go in, that you forget what you’re working on.
The solution for this problem requires moving away from the basket and getting on a line. This is one of the best ways to focus solely on training the ball to stay on your shot line. You can get in a high amount of reps in a short period of time since you won’t be chasing the ball all over the court.
You’ll also see two young players drill every aspect of shot development from chapters one and two by using a line on the floor, instead of a basket!
10 minutes, 13 seconds
Chapter 7: TRAINING THE EYES OF A SHOOTER
Chapter 7 is a unique chapter, especially when you consider all of the possible shooting drills that are out there. Shooting a basketball has always been, and always will be, the ultimate test of eye-hand coordination. There are hundred of drills to develop the hands, but where are all the drills to develop your eyes!
Part of the reason there are not many drills for your eyes is how complicated the eyes are. For example, in the video, Coach Torbett notes that in Byte Computer Magazine, Dr. John Stevens states that it would take the Cray super-computer a minimum of 100 years to simulate what takes place in your eye many times every single second!
Well, Better Basketball has drills that will improve your eyes. In the still to the right, WNBA player Shay Doron demonstrates one that is guaranteed to challenge you, and increase your accuracy at the same time.

Chapter 8: THE WOMEN'S CHAPTER
Chapter 8 is Better Basketball’s answer to the question "WHAT ABOUT OUR FEMALE PLAYERS?"
Shooting technique and training is no different for females than it is for males. At least, it shouldn’t be! However, since there seems to be a perception from many people that there is a difference, and since women are seen making different kinds of errors in their shooting form than males, Better Shooting has a chapter dedicated solely to female players.
You’ll learn the origins of these errors and what can be done to correct them. But we don’t stop there. Like the rest of the video, we’ll show how making these adjustments benefits females in every shooting situation!
8 minutes, 25 seconds
Chapter 9: WHAT ABOUT THESE SHOTS?
When shooting is the subject, many think only of the jumpshot and the free throw. What else is there?
What about the bank shot, the tricky 5-foot pull-up, long distance shooting, shooting in the post, and lay-ups?
These types of shots must be included when shooting is being taught, so chapter nine breaks down the adjustments that are needed to round out your shooting skills in these areas, thereby making you a complete shooter.
9 minutes, 46 seconds
Chapter 10: SHOT TRAINING FOR THE SERIOUS
Until now, the only way you could get the contents of this chapter would be to train privately with lead instructor Rick Torbett. This is HOW everything from chapter one and chapter two is trained into your body and developed into your shooting habits. This is where you’ll pay the price that must be paid to become a great shooter.
A very unique Shot Development Chart, emphasizing 20 specific shooting points (ten on form, ten on footwork), will be included with your video. Using it, you’ll follow a proven, tried and true workout that will improve your shooting forever. Your daily, written log will keep you on track, keep you accountable, and encourage you to stay on course until your goals are realized. And after 20 workouts, you’ll discover a unique way this chart can even help you get out of a slump - while you’re playing in a real game!
