Dirk speeds up shot release

[CeltsGarlic]

dirk will be rolling a dice with those early releases

[josh99]

Changing your shot after refining it so many years could be tricky. He might have an up and down year trying to adjust. Not sure if he has the years left to do this, considering his shot has been pretty deadly already with this current technique.

This.

Still gonna release quicker than Detox

he trying to get on that stephen curry time

[Pointguard]

Wasn't like he was taking too long with it or that it was in danger of getting blocked... . At this stage anything you try to do quicker/faster is a bit of an energy drain as well. He doesn't know that now but this even happens with a gulf swing.

He doesnt need it. Hes already one of the best shooters ever. Id be more afraid of this tanking his %s

It is a huge benefit for him to shoot quicker. And I imagine Holger is not talking about his actual shot as much as the "windup" for the shot.

And because of the knee problem he has had the last couple of years, his release/windup for the shot has been way slower than it used to be. Especially since it is harder for him to drive to the basket so defenders crowd him more than they ever have. Quicker release will equate to more opportunities.

But don't equate speeding up his shot to changing the mechanics of his shot. Holger aint trying to change the release point,etc...

(Oh and Holger uses the physics/trajectory of shooting anyway. He wouldn't put it out there for Dirk if he wasn't sure it would be better for him. This is the same guy who has trained him since he was 16. And he basically molded him in the shooter that he is... Dirk uses unorthodox form in many ways... such as the inverted knee lock while shooting free throws.... )
