Definitions of Hand-Angle & Hand-Distance

Hand-distance and hand-angle, one perspective

This diagram shows the angle of the base of the shooting hand ('B') relative to the top of the forehead ('A'). In the particular instance illustrated in the graphic, this angle is 27 degrees. The shortest distance between 'B' and the line that both intersects with 'A' and also runs parallel to the line that runs from one eye to the other, is what I refer to as the distance between the shooting hand and the top of the forehead. These definitions apply to my discussion of the the position of the shooting hand at the start of the ball-propelling segment of the shooting motion.

Hand-distance, a Perspective

The graphic illustrates what I am referring to when I discuss the distance between the base of the shooting hand and the top of the forehead. To be exact, my definition of this distance is: the distance between 'B', the base of the shooting hand, and 'A', which is the point closest to 'B' that is on the line that intersects with 'C' and also runs parallel to the line running from eye to eye. These definitions apply to my discussion of the the position of the shooting hand at the start of the ball-propelling segment of the shooting motion.

These graphics are related to the sports-log entry for November 30.
