Desc. of Swish by an Indiana
High School Coach,
"More Mechanical than Mysterious"

Swish 2 was voted one of the two best shooting videos available by
Breakthrough Basketball of Marion, Iowa in their special eBook on Shooting.
Here is their Review of Swish 2.


Would you like to become the best shooter
on your team?
Are you looking for a more
effective way to coach Shooting?

You're not alone!  Shooting is a lost art! Shooting percentages have been declining for over 20 years! Players at all levels miss free throws and open jumpers to lose games! Major NBA stars are embarrassed at the Free Throw Line! You see top college teams shooting under 50% Free Throws at times, and team percentages in the high 50's and low 60's are quite common.  International players can shoot better from outside and from the Line. Something's not working!  

The USA team could manage only bronze medals in the 2004 Olympics and at the 2006 World Championships. However, our team just dominated the world at the Beijing 2008 Olympics to win the gold medal, and the team and coaches deserve great credit for an outstanding "team" accomplishment!  As to the shooting, however, there is still work to be done.  It appeared to me the victories were accomplished more by athleticism and defensive pressure than offense.  We still need shooting breakthroughs in this country.

  • Players don't know what to practice
  • Coaches often don't know how to coach shooting 
  • Coaching just the "Fundamentals" (how to stand, how to hold the ball, where the
    elbow should point, etc.) isn't enough!

and completes the Method. One for $29.95, both for $44.90

"Jedi of the jumper could teach Lebron"



GREAT FOR A YOUNG PLAYER OR COACH ANYTIME!

Get the Swish videos for your kids (or your coach friends).  
It will become something they'll want to watch over and over.

Finally they will have a Method that is both simple and practical
(they will see they can do it).  Anyone can learn the simple
stuff these videos talk about and demonstrate.  Now when
they practice, unlike their buddies who don't seem to get much
better, they'll improve quite quickly.  Soon their friends will be
asking them what they did to shoot so well, and your kids
can be generous and tell them about the Swish videos
.
