Duncan Robinson Seriously Considered for Final USA Roster Spot

/0 Comments/in , /by

(With Brady Hawk)

As Team USA looks pretty close to complete, while Bam Adebayo headlines things for the Miami Heat, I can report that Duncan Robinson was seriously considered for one of the final spots on the roster, per a league source.

The latest addition of Kevin Love most likely would’ve been Robinson’s roster spot, but possibly the lack of bigs led to them going that route, since Adebayo, Draymond Green, and Jerami Grant were the only guys with size.

As known in that type of setting, you can never have enough shooting, especially when the team is full of a bunch of shot creators and on-ball threats. A roaming Robinson could’ve been a decent spark off the bench, considering the shooting year that he just had.

Even after a rocky start, he finished fourth in the NBA in total three-point makes, only behind Stephen Curry–who opted out of playing for the USA team, Damian Lillard–who will most likely be the starting point guard, and Buddy Hield.

Is rest the worst thing in the world for Robinson after a quick turnaround following a late bubble run and playing all 72 games this past season? The answer is no, but frankly, it’s quite the accolade to go from an undrafted NBA player to a member of the USA team.

As Robinson has discussed on his podcast, The Long Shot, this period of time will be for his individual improvements. And while Adebayo has a better chance of making a leap in one-on-one drills in USA training camp, Robinson seems to be better fitted for specific training including both basketball and body workouts.

Is Kevin Love a better fit for the USA team’s roster? Probably not, considering the year he just had, dropping to 12 points a game, which his only worse year statistically was his rookie season. But the combination of rest and individual improvement feels to be the focus this off-season for Robinson, as he prepares for a decent sized deal in the coming weeks.

How To Become a Better Pool Player

/0 Comments/in /by

Do you want to become better at the pool? There are lots of helpful tricks that will impress your friends. There are plenty of books to read, videos to watch, and cues to follow. However, one fantastic trick isn’t enough to turn you into an excellent player. Even though practice is the surest way to get better, these tips and tricks may also be helpful. 

 

  • Understand Your Angles

Knowing your angles will make you a better pool player. You don’t need to be excellent at math. When playing, you should have a feel of the way the balls move around your pool table. Determine how much power you need to exert to achieve different results.

Walking around your table and checking out shots from various angles can be very helpful. It may help you identify the best place to cue your ball for the next shot. The cue over your object ball may also help you decide the best position to strike with the cue ball. Understanding your angels will improve your pool skills faster than other tricks. 

 

  • Practice Your Break

Try practicing your break if you want to be a better pool player. When you are at a certain skill level, your break shot may be a huge contributor to your success or failure. Even when you don’t think you are at that level yet, some practice will be helpful. 

When playing eight-ball, you want to break straight in front of you. If, however, you are playing nine-ball, break at an angle. According to the team at https://pooltablemaster.com/slate-pool-tables/, you should be able to pocket an object ball on the break legally. Do it without scratching. This way, you will have the chance to shoot again. It determines if you will be shooting stripes or solids all through the game. If you get a good break, you may have a serious advantage over your competitor. 

 

  • Choose Between Solids and Stripes

When the table is open in an eight-ball, many players do not think about their choice of stripes or solids. It is easy to assume that your choice will make no difference. However, that isn’t true. Depending on the position of the balls, it can be an important decision. Always look around before making your decision. 

 

One of the first things to consider is if you can take multiple shots. How many shots can you make with each of the suits? Do not think about shots that you may or make. When making your decision, you want to consider the shots you are likely to make based on your skill level. Overestimating your ability sets you up for a loss. 

Think about your opponent’s shots as well. If it seems like you can make several shots in a row on a certain suit, you have to look at the other one. How would your opponent fair with the balls as they are? Would they have simple or tricky shots? If both stripes and solids seem unlikely to give you any shots, you need to play defensively. Choose the suit that would make things harder for your competitor. 

 

  • Work On Your Bridge

The bridge is the formation made by your hand in the pool, allowing you to connect the cue and the cue ball. The hand that you aren’t using to hold the cue is your bridge hand. Depending on your shot, it may be the right or left hand. 

The perfect bridge is not just about your hands. It is a combination of the game and a proper stance. When working on your bridge, remember that it is a matter of personal preference. Different situations demand different bridges. 

Having a solid bridge makes it possible to get the cue back and forth without any problem. In addition, it makes it easy for you to make accurate shots. 

 

  • Come Up With a Process

 

Like with any other game, you must have a process when playing pool. Be consistent and avoid making random moves. With a pool, consistency is just as important as skill. If you rely on luck, you won’t win consistently. Instead, think about your skill and use it to create a ritual. Always think about it before you shoot. The process doesn’t seem to be lengthy or complicated. It can be a set of small actions that make it easier for you to win. Simple tips include checking your angles, taking note of your best shots, and taking deep breaths. People are different, and what works for one person may not work for another. 

 

In conclusion, there are lots of ways to get better at the pool. However, no simple trick is enough to automatically wow your friends and make you great. Whatever tips you choose to implement, the best way to perfect them is through practice. 

Collin Sexton’s Immediate Fit with the Heat’s Current Squad

/0 Comments/in , /by

After a report came out that the Cleveland Cavaliers have begun exploring trade options for Collin Sexton, the Miami Heat’s name got thrown around social media. Why is that? Well, if any player hits the trading block this off-season, there’s no doubt in my mind he will get linked to Miami in some way.

Aside from that, this piece will be about the fit with the Heat, since there’s enough transaction talk going around when discussing these type of trades. Personally, before diving into it, I like the fit, but it does become interesting when discussing the players going out the door.

It’s very clear that Miami lacks a ton of assets, and though you’re opinion may differ about Tyler Herro at this stage, he’s their one and only asset. Does the organization believe Sexton will make the difference to try and contend in Jimmy Butler’s window? Well, that’s up to them.

The comfort levels rise if you can make that move along with adding Kyle Lowry, but there must be a certain amount of confidence about that back-court meshing. In my opinion, Lowry’s off-ball abilities allow this to work offensively, while he can possibly size up defensively if needed.

Anyways, let’s get right into some of the film on Sexton, beginning with a lot from his match-up with the Brooklyn Nets earlier in the season, where he recorded 42 points on a career night…

Loading
Loading...

Defensive Fighter

When focusing on the defensive end with a bunch of players, I always begin with the attributes and capabilities that guy has. The thing about Sexton, is that he forces you to begin in a much different area: his will on that end.

People knew from the moment he played in high school to going 3 on 5 in a college game to a photo surfacing the internet in Summer League, as he locked in on his match-up, that he competes on that end of the floor and doesn’t take plays off. That’s a Miami Heat guy.

He may not be the greatest defender up to this point, but it seems like the defensive potential outweighs the other stuff.

It doesn’t matter if, arguably, the best scorer to play the game of basketball is hitting the open court, he’s going to chase him down to at least try and get the stop. On this play, he did just that, and gave him a pretty great clip to add to the highlight reel.

This element of his game alone showcases an upgrade, but as I mentioned earlier, is it enough of an upgrade? Once again, that can only be answered by the front office, but it feels like a guy with that type of skill-set already is quite the enticing piece for a franchise.

The Mid-Range in Two Parts

I always touch on the mid-range in these articles, and there’s a reason. For one, I believe it holds more importance than some like to acknowledge as the love for the three-point line has expanded. But it’s also essential to dive into regarding the ways you can score in that area.

I’ve talked about guys like Herro and Kendrick Nunn getting to the mid-range all season where they thrive, but that’s due to the fact the elbow pull-up seems to be their only option at times. Sexton is able to mix that up as most of the top scorers can, but it always starts with the basics…

He’s very capable of getting to that elbow/free throw line area, as he increased the attempts on his pull-up, but more importantly, efficiency rose with it. After shooting a little over 41% on the mid-range pull up, he increased that to 44% this past season.

If you want to get an idea of how the ranks against some of the Heat’s guards, Herro shot 40% and Nunn shot 41% on the mid-range pull-up this past season. But the true difference maker occurs in the second part of this discussion…

As explained previously, it has been harped on with the Heat’s guards due to them lacking diversity on the ball. We’ve talked about needing a constant screen in those spots, but Sexton has shown improvements this past season.

Offensive creativity seems to be an area of need for this Heat team, and he gives them some of that. By that, I mean scoring in different ways, aside from the pick and roll pull-ups. As seen above, he’s able to take it downhill one-on-one. The interesting thing about him is that he’s quite physical, and by the way, that’s another translating factor.

That physicality leads to the creativity that I’m discussing, such as the one-legged fade-away on this possession. That’s just a single example, but you get the point: that secondary option in the half-court changes things for a team.

In a league that plays a ton of drop coverage, of course it’s important to get to those dead spots, but it doesn’t stop there. You need a guy that can do that, along with forcing mismatches against switching defenses, and Sexton gives you that.

Added Attempts from Deep

The pull-up three wasn’t Sexton’s best friend this season and I don’t believe many expected it to be. After shooting 35% the year before, that number went down to 31%, which comes with the territory of attempting more of them on a bad team.

That situation basically eliminates a ton of catch and shoot threes, even on a team that has a constant chain of point guards, but that’s where I’m intrigued. Yes, the Heat need a point guard, and I’ll show next how that can be useful, but the spot-up stuff makes things interesting.

He shot 40% on catch and shoot threes this year, and when creators like Butler and Adebayo are on the floor, that number will increase. Plus, if we’re acting as if Lowry would be on the squad as well, then spot-up shooting becomes even more crucial for Sexton. And when narrowing things down for a player in a structured franchise, it can happen quickly.

But as seen in the clip above, we see tremendous growth as an outside shooter, even if the overall numbers don’t show it. Taking the lengthy Kevin Durant off the dribble late in a game is no cake walk for a small guard, but combining that confidence and lift is quite the outcome for a tough bucket.

In the second clip, Jeff Green is guarding him tightly, and defends the shot attempt perfectly. The thing is that Sexton mixing in that side step changes some things. Not to constantly relate things back to the Heat’s guards, but this is where those small layers come in handy. Continuing to build on that skill puts defenses in an awkward position.

PnR Controller 

Speaking of those point guard attributes, we get a taste of that here. I honestly hate talking about the pace of a player, since it gets thrown around so freely when talking about basketball, but that’s a key part of Sexton’s PnR success.

Let’s take a look at the first clip above. The takeaway may be that his slow pacing following the snake dribble led to a perfect lob pass, but there’s something small in there that must be noted. When passing the free throw line, he turns his head slightly, and that tells me a couple things.

For one, the patience that he has in these spots is super impressive, awaiting the roller before being put in no man’s land. Secondly, and more importantly, he basically controls the tagger, in PJ Tucker. That head movement, surveying the corner, freezes Tucker into a decision making stage. When a 22 year old can do that in these offensive sets, you’ve got something special.

The other thing about this is the Heat wouldn’t be relying super heavily on his play-making and creation, and that could be beneficial. Not only am I talking about Butler and Adebayo, but as mentioned earlier, this could be Lowry in these sets at times if that move was made.

Also, reiterating an earlier point, Lowry being able to play off the ball so effortlessly makes me think PnR dissecting could be left to Sexton. But the overarching takeaway is that they would have options, and Erik Spoelstra loves options.

The Hidden Gem

Sexton had a pretty great night against Miami early in the season, so why not highlight the element that he ran into the ground against them: off-ball cutting.

Off-ball shooting question marks may be one thing, but trust me, there are no question marks next to his ways of navigation among screeners to receive the ball in stride. If you wanted a video example, I could just show most of his scoring possessions against Miami, but let’s just take a look at this one above…

For one, this action has two of the most versatile defensive wings in the league in it, Butler and Trevor Ariza. Butler goes over on the screen as Sexton dives, and Ariza doesn’t cut it off. Easy bucket for Sexton.

Why is this important to note? Well, this is Miami’s offense. The utilization of screening for easy buckets at the rim in their movement offense is something they harp on, and the addition of somebody that fits that offensive mold seems like a no brainer.

This whole discussion is going to come down to how Miami elects to treat the limited assets that they have, and the value that they feel they can get in return. But if you’re asking me if Sexton fits the things that Miami likes to do on both ends of the floor, it’s undeniable that it’s a perfect fit for not only the Heat, but also Sexton.

Five Keys to the Eastern Conference Finals

/0 Comments/in /by

What will decide the NBA’s Eastern Conference Finals?

Here are five factors. 

 

*****

 

Khris Middleton playing like a star similar to how he played vs Miami and Brooklyn. The first round series vs Miami wasn’t competitive (sorry Heat fans). The second round series vs the Nets showed much more the X -Factor Middleton is in determining a win or loss for Milwaukee. In losses vs the Nets Middleton shot 32% from the field and 26% from three and 18 ppg. In the wins vs the Nets he shot 47% from the field, 58% from three and 28 ppg. Ten points is a lot in a playoff game not to mention the large differences in shooting percentage. When Middleton is hitting his shots, it creates more open looks for other players and most importantly takes attention away from Giannis.

****

Trae Young scoring over 30 ppg. In game one of the Eastern Conference Finals Trae scored 48 points and the Hawks upset Milwaukee on their homecourt. There were times in this game where Trae looked simply unguardable even with Giannis switching out onto him he still was able to score. When Trae is scoring at that level it creates so many other possibilities for Atlanta’s offense. Many other players on the Hawks rely on Trae to create for them and when he’s scoring at will it opens the floor up. An example of this is when teams are playing Trae so far out on perimeter he can then drive in the lane and lob it up to John Collins or Clint Capela. Kevin Huerter is another player that is important off of Trae in the backcourt. Huerter scored 27 points in the pivotal game 7 win vs the 76ers in the second round. Without all the attention on Trae that wouldn’t have been possible. 

Loading
Loading...

****

Hawks must win the 3-point shooting battle. To have any chance the Hawks must outscore the Bucks from 3 and we saw that in game 1 Wednesday night. The hawks shot 25% from 3 versus the Bucks 22% and it took 48 points from Trae Young to win by three. If they don’t have the three-point advantage it will take similar heroic performances from Young to even have a chance. The Bucks have two all-stars in Giannis and Middleton along with a borderline all star in Jrue Holiday while the Hawks had no all-stars this year. Trae Young certainly should’ve been named an all-star but regardless the bucks are defiantly the more talented team. To make up for the talent gap Atlanta needs to win from the three-point line. 

Loading
Loading...

****

Giannis needs to play the 5 position more than he has in previous series if the Bucks want to advance to their first NBA Finals in 50 years. This isn’t a series for Brook Lopez as we saw in game 1. When Lopez is in the game the Bucks often play their drop coverage and have Lopez sagging off leaving plenty of space for Atlanta’s guards. When this happens Trae Young eats that coverage alive all game. He can either use his floater game or simply lob it up to Capela for an easy two points every time. When Giannis is at the 5, they don’t play drop nearly as much and some of those lanes for Young and Capela aren’t nearly as wide open. If the Bucks make it as hard as possible on the Hawks in terms of getting in rhythm and easy buckets, it will make it much harder for Atlanta to win games in the series. The Bucks are the more talented team, but they must make the in-game adjustments as well or this series will be longer than anyone in Milwaukee wants. 

Loading
Loading...

*****

Jrue Holiday needs to play up to his max contract and be a top 5 player in this series. While guarding Trae Young will be a lofty task for Holiday he can’t forget about the offensive end as well. Jrue was excellent in the Miami series and a clear difference maker but was less efficient vs the Nets on the offensive side of things. In the second round series Holiday averaged 15ppg, 36% from the field and 26% from the three-point line. Those numbers need at least a slight increase in this series for Milwaukee to feel good about winning the series. The Nets were missing Kyrie Irving for most of the series and James Harden was playing on about one leg when he did play the final three games. If either of those guys were healthy Brooklyn most likely advances and Milwaukee can’t count on the Hawks being shorthanded, so they need all hands-on deck this series. In game 7 vs Brooklyn Holiday shot 5-23 from the field including being 2-17 before hitting a three late in the fourth quarter. They were lucky to escape with an overtime victory but that won’t happen with a healthy Hawks team. On the flip side if Jrue plays up to his capability on both ends it will be nearly impossible for the Hawks to beat the Bucks.

Jimmy Butler: Excelling at the Small Things

/0 Comments/in , /by

We have reached the final stage of my Heat roster evaluation series, and clearly, we must end it off with the star of the show, Jimmy Butler. A disappointing end to the season, after a poor first round performance, should not be the season takeaway, since frankly, he had a career year at age 31.

Career highs in rebounds, assists, steals, and field goal percentage doesn’t even tell the full story, due to the fact he did that in such an uneven year. Going out for a long period after some Covid effects, then trying to will the team back into Eastern Conference contention after a slow start.

He got them into a reasonable spot to try and make yet another post-season run, but it just felt like there was nothing left in the tank. The short turnaround after an all-time Finals performance contributed to that, but as Butler would probably say, none of that is an excuse.

Now the focus is to move forward into the off-season and the 2021-2022 season. Some players that he has close relationships with could be on their way in, which could truly fulfill the next run they try to make with the Miami Heat.

Anyways, these pieces are always about taking a brief look back. With Butler, we already know all of the things he’s good at, which is why we will take a slightly different approach. We’re discussing some of the small things.

Why will that be the focus? Well, Jimmy Butler is really good at the small things.

The PnR Passer

We all know how good of a passer Butler is, especially following his career year, recording 7 assists a game. But this stuff transcends the numbers, since it’s more about the degree of difficulty.

There aren’t many teams that have their two best players as non-perimeter shooters. To that point, there aren’t many teams that have their best pick and roll set including two non-shooters. The reasoning: there aren’t as many 2 on 1’s created in the Butler-Adebayo PnR, since most defenders aren’t racing to go over on the screen.

But still, it’s somehow super effective. Adebayo’s soft touch and threatening lob catching ability definitely factors in to that success, but most of the credit goes to the crafty passing of Butler.

When taking a look at the first clip above, something well known with Butler jumps off the screen immediately. He holds such gravity when moving downhill, that the defensive player of the year and a skilled perimeter defender stay locked in on Butler all the way to the rim.

The difference with guarding him in the PnR, is that he can make passes that a lot of guys just can’t. He throws the wrap around bounce pass to Adebayo for the easy flip shot, which makes this pairing effective with the correct spacing.

Now, take a look at the second clip above. The same situation, same defenders, and well, the same result. As mentioned before, the defender smartly goes under and contains perfectly to eliminate the roller. I mean, try* and eliminate the roller.

He hits a much different wrap around bounce pass down the baseline, while he knew Adeayo was drifting toward that spot. Elite shooting seems to be the consensus for an effective PnR in today’s game, but an exceptional passing ability basically levels things out, especially when a Duncan Robinson type is on the floor to eliminate any help or tagging on the roller.

A More Fitting PnR Role

As I just dove into previously, Butler as the ball handler in those pick and roll sets clearly work, but when teams like the Bucks begin to muck things up in the middle of the floor come playoff time, things can change.

It’s not just about adjusting to a defense, it’s also about tending to the star player. The reason Butler had so many reps in those spots was due to the team lacking a point guard. Yes, they had guys who can run primary actions to find spots on the floor to lift, but it wasn’t a play-making role.

Now, I consistently bring up the Goran Dragic-Butler duo over the last two years. Dragic isn’t the play-maker you want running those sets, but he’s been a capable one at times. It’s why the Butler-Dragic PnR, both normal and inverted, became such a primary action at the end of games.

Speaking of inverted PnR’s, that is where Butler needs to be most of the time. When there were three spacers on the floor, while Dragic and Butler ran their set at the top of the key, allowing Butler to catch in stride toward the basket, that’s when he’s at his best.

It allows him to play to his strengths in every facet of the game: get moving downhill, play-make via kick-outs as defenders crash, and of course, embrace contact around the rim.

Fast-Break Freight Train

I spoke a lot about fast-break opportunities in my last piece about Adebayo’s next steps, but it is really special what Butler can do in the open court. Adebayo has shown to be very good in that area, but he doesn’t seem to take advantage of it enough. Butler, on the other hand, may take advantage of it a bit too much.

For an aging player, taking contact each and every game for easy points in transition may take a toll on him. It’s a staple of his game, and it’s pretty clear Butler will never shy away from that type of physicality. But it feels like we’re rapidly approaching the point where it’s no longer Adebayo surveying for Butler on those possessions, and instead it’s the other way around.

Aside from that, I feel the one major element to this elite ability in Butler’s bag has to do with something that occurs at the end of the clip. It’s all about the stuff at the rim. Adebayo has no problem getting to that spot on the floor with his versatility and skill, but the interesting part is that’s it’s not the same type of scoring as it is in the half court.

Take a look at the clip above. When Butler gets to the rim, he does something that we see much more than just this one clip. He hangs in the air for that extra half a second. That extra time allows him to adjust and score as defenders fly right by at full speed. That’s just Butler’s thing, and I believe that’s the key for that to become Adebayo’s thing.

This is why I mentioned earlier that it’s about the small stuff with Butler. All of those things add up, and it leads to him being such an elite player without a primary ability in the game of basketball, shooting.

Put-Back Expert

As we talk about stuff in his game that isn’t discussed frequently, why not dive into his oddly effective ways of being a put-back expert? Put-backs aren’t always an important area to highlight, mostly since it comes with the territory of being a big man.

The difference is that Butler is 6 foot 7, and somehow works that in repeatedly. The reasoning for that is just his basketball IQ, which I will dive into a bit more down the line on the defensive end.

We always discuss his methodical movements, knowing when to speed up the game or slow it down, and that just refers to the word: timing. And that’s why the put-backs have become second nature for him.

Once again, go watch the clip above, but don’t watch Adebayo with the ball, just watch Butler. Most guys sprint to the glass to try and tip it in, which ends in plenty of possessions where the offensive player flies right by the rim as it results in a defensive rebound.

Butler doesn’t speed up here, though. He takes his time as the ball goes up in the air, then explodes upward as soon as it bounces off the rim. This may not seem major, but everything is measured regarding Butler’s play-style.

The Helpful Actions for Downhill Success

There’s always a section on these pieces where we must discuss the utilization of each player. It may not be a huge deal for a team’s best player, since he will obviously be in so many different spots, but there’s a clear outcome for Butler thriving offensively.

When diving into film on Adebayo and Butler, it makes you realize how alike they are within their strengths. The hot topic with Adebayo next season will be running offense for him to get moving downhill, and well, that was where Butler truly thrived this season.

In the first clip, we see the usual DHO from Adebayo, but there are a bunch of layers attached to that. Tyler Herro sets the off-ball screen for Butler to flow into the DHO, while Duncan Robinson sets the back-screen on the big guarding Adebayo. We saw this 3-man set quite a lot this season, with the main option being a Robinson three as he sprinted to the wing for a kick-out.

No kick-out was necessary here, as Buddy Hield, who was originally guarding Robinson, is put in an uncomfortable spot as he’s no longer glued to his defender. An easy lay-in for Butler is the outcome.

The second clip above is very similar, as Butler’s battling to flow downhill and Herro sets the back-screen for him to get to the rim rather easily. As I’ve discussed, a point guard will be necessary to acquire in free agency, but a guy who can play off the ball will be even better for Butler to run stuff like this.

Spoiler alert: a close friend of Butler falls under that category.

The Defensive Skill that Sums It All Up 

There hasn’t been a ton of defensive talk in this article, which is Butler’s best side of the ball, but this one skill sums it all up. He essentially doesn’t have a defensive weakness, but after watching him closely this season on that end of the floor, his defensive IQ clearly lands at number one regarding his strengths.

In my opinion, the best way to discover defensive IQ is positioning and off the ball tendencies. When a defender doesn’t have to be on-ball to be effective, that’s when it becomes impressive.

The play above is a perfect example, since as I’ve mentioned repeatedly throughout the season, he has a special ability to unexpectedly double for a positive result. He notices Naz Reid receive the ball without accounting for his backside, which leaves Butler taking a costly gamble that leads to easy fast-break points.

After this game, I asked Butler about those unexpected doubles specifically, which he responded, “I think you gotta look at who has the ball, right or left handed, what their skill-set is, and I guess some good timing, some timely gambles…If I get them it’s a good thing, if I don’t I gotta here Spo telling me to stop doing it, but I think I got them tonight.”

Once again, every major part of Butler’s game has evolved so fluidly due to all of these small elements coming together. He has already shown what he is capable of on the basketball floor in a Miami Heat uniform, and now it’s time to fill out the roster to get him and this team back into contention.

It’s not hard to find likable characters to put next to Butler, since he just wants one thing: guys who care as much as he does. And once they find that after a resting period this off-season, it’s pretty clear they will be back.

Like Playing Golf? You Will Love These 4 Tips

/0 Comments/in /by

Golf is one of the most challenging games. There’s a lot to learn for beginners and seasoned players alike. It requires the right technique, perfect equipment, precise hold, and accurate shots for you to be awesome at the game. If you constantly look for tips to play better and have more fun in the game, this article will help you discover the things that most professional players apply perfectly to be so good. If you like playing golf, you’ll love these 4 tips.

 

1. Choosing the Right Equipment

Once you’ve spent enough time swinging an iron on a golf field, you realize the importance of playing with the right equipment. Quality golfing equipment may be expensive, but it’s crucial in deciding your gaming experience. If you’re just beginning at golf, choosing the right clubs, gloves, ball, and shoes can put you ahead in the game instantly. With the right driver, you can hit the golf ball better and farther with a lot more control over the trajectory.

Choosing a club that is lighter means you’ll be able to swing better. In addition to this, you should ensure that your club provides proper grip. To protect your hands from blisters, you can invest in good gloves. Apart from this, the type of ball you choose to play with also impacts your game. If you’re a beginner at golf, make sure that the ball you choose emphasizes less on spin and more on distance. As the rule of thumb, remember that softer balls provide more spin with shorter clubs.

2. Holding a Golf Club

The way you hold a golf club decides how accurate your shot is going to be. According to golfing experts, if your grip on the golf club is wrong, chances are high that your stance and swing will go wrong as well. Did you know that there are three ways of holding a golf club? You can either have a 10-finger grip, interlocking grip, or an overlapping grip. Although you will find the grip that suits you the best by the method of trial and error, it is best to learn the basics of holding a golf club first. If you are right-handed, grab the golf club with your left hand in a way that the heel of your palm ends at the top of the club. Once you’ve got a good grip on the club, make sure that it is aligned diagonally with your fingers. After doing this, place the heel of your right hand’s palm over your left forefinger and thumb. This will give you a neutral grip, enabling you to rotate your wrists more freely.

3. Proper Golf Stance

The way you stand while hitting your golf ball has a great impact on the outcome of your shot. It is vital to stand in the correct posture while taking a shot. In addition to this, you need to align yourself while taking the swing and put in the right amount of power. If your posture is askew, you might hit the ball in a direction that you don’t intend to. According to the basic golfing tips shared by https://simplegolfpath.com, you must have a narrow stance while using irons and wider for drivers. The face of your golf club must be aimed behind your ball in a way that it is facing the target directly. The ball should be kept directly in the center while your legs are spread as much as the width of your shoulders. If you are right-handed, the pectoral muscle of your left shoulder should be directly above the ball. When you’re getting ready to take the shot, you’ll need to push your hips out and bend forwards. However, make sure that you can freely swing your club.

 

4.Driving a Golf Ball

To hit the perfect shot, you’ll need to mark a target right where you want your ball to land. It is best to use a vertical target like a tree or a pole. Make sure that your stance is perfect, and you are using the right equipment. If you are going for a powerful swing, you’ll need a wide stance with your head position slightly behind the ball. In addition to this, even the shaft of the club must be positioned a little behind the ball. On the other hand, if you’re looking for a controlled shot, you’ll need a narrow stance where the ball is positioned slightly closer to your swinging arms and not exactly in the middle of your legs.

 

If you wish to improve your golfing results, you must invest in the right equipment that includes clubs, gloves, balls, and shoes. With a proper grip and changing stances, you can alter the direction, trajectory, and distance of your shot. With that said, it’s okay to swing and miss at times. Keep learning and improving.

Which Martial Art Should I Learn First?

/2 Comments/in /by

Martial arts have roots that you can trace back to ancient history. At their very essence, these combat forms were developed for protection and self-defense. As such, many of them are used in the military and remain part of most people’s cultural heritage.

That said, a military-like approach is not the only way to learn a martial art form. You can also start practicing specific MMA styles for recreation or as a hobby. You might also want to get into them for career reasons and to become a professional.

So, which martial arts should I learn first? Let’s go over the popular forms of martial arts and the top things to consider when learning them.

Popular Martial Art Forms

What’s great about martial arts is they change you holistically. They aren’t just about the physical. Rather, they are about the mental and spiritual, too. You’ll find these values ingrained in the following popular combat practices:

  • Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
  • Muay Thai
  • Karate
  • Taekwondo
  • Jujitsu
  • Judo 
  • Aikido

As you may have noticed, Japanese-originating martial art forms dominate the “most popular” list. In essence, this gives you a clue as to how self-disciplined Japanese people are and where their worldly values stem from.

Things To Consider When Taking up a Martial Art Form

Your preferences are likely to determine which martial art form you take up first. However, you might also want to consider the following factors for choosing a particular practice:

Ease of Learning

We wouldn’t exactly call easy martial art forms “easy,” but they can be easier to learn than others. For instance, some forms allow you to learn the basics from available audio-visual content online. They might also make practicing fundamental techniques and formations at home easier.

If a particular type of martial art lets you practice with dummies, then it’s likely one of the easier types to learn. For example, Jiu-jitsu is one such discipline that enables you to get started at home with dummies. However, eventually, you will need a partner to spar with to hone the most important skills of the practice. If you find one who’s just as interested as you are, or perhaps even more skilled than you, that would be even better.

One of the things that make Jiu-jitsu a great starter is its purpose. Initially, this martial art form was developed for taking down bigger, heavier opponents with as little fuss as possible. The fact that it’s one of the lighter disciplines out there makes it even more of a draw for first-time learners.

Motive

Why do you want to learn a martial art form? Think about it deeply, as failing this part could prevent you from seeing your journey through to the end.

You could have several motives for engaging in a combat practice, including self-protection, fitness, purpose, and discipline. Whatever these motives may be, assess them thoroughly and see if they can get you through training long-term.

If your primary purpose is recreation, you might want to go for a martial art form that’s a little less structured, like Jiu-jitsu. For as long as it serves your particular purpose, everything goes with this discipline. You can also opt not to learn the set of Jiu-jitsu moves in its entirety and simply attempt to master those that serve your specific motive.

A form that’s significantly more solid in terms of structure is Muay Thai. It turns parts of your body into weapons for delivering offense and defense. The purest form of Muay Thai is governed by a set of rules that are as solid as they come. That’s why one doesn’t take Muay Thai learning lightly. More often than not, a person only pursues the art form when he or she plans on going professional.

Capacity

Your physical traits and personal characteristics should very much be considerations for pursuing a martial art form. That’s because some forms hold a really high standard for even their beginners.

For instance, Krav Maga is almost impossible for non-physically-gifted individuals to get into. This and other martial art forms requiring the same level of intensity could test your pain and endurance levels to their limits. After all, it takes an extremely tough and determined individual to fight through immense pain and deliver techniques powerfully and accurately.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu: One of the Safest Forms of Martial Arts

These days, there’s a lot of buzz surrounding Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu or BJJ due to it becoming a major component in most MMA styles. How do you think you’ll fare in it? How safe is it, exactly?

BJJ is among the safest martial arts disciplines due to its solid set of rules governing training and competition. So much about this combat sport is rooted in honor, respect, and discipline, resulting in most of its mid- and high-level practitioners being more concerned with safety than anything else.

In terms of journey length, BJJ is one that takes your entire life to learn holistically. That’s because it doesn’t simply focus on the technical side; it also centers on the internalization of a lifestyle.

Nevertheless, from a purely technical perspective, a black belt in BJJ could take at least 10 to 15 years to accomplish. Some prodigies have gotten there in less time, but not all of us have these individuals’ gifts and skills. The quickest route to a BJJ black belt was achieved in just three years, an impossibility for many. Modeling your journey after this progression could prove fruitless and potentially dangerous, so don’t do it.

Nonetheless, the fact that BJJ centers on safety and lifestyle internalization means that it’s one of the best martial arts practices for first-timers.

You Can Learn Most Martial Art Forms First

Learning a martial art form has less to do with the art form itself than the learner. Basically, most popular combat practices can be ideal for beginners if they meet the person’s needs for learning, motivation, and physical and mental capacity. Considering your specific strengths and weaknesses should lead you to select a form of martial arts that’s right up your alley.

Goal consideration is also as important. You might want to be studying it at your place, and not all martial art forms allow for that. You might also be interested in taking up more than one martial art form, which is great but not always advisable for a beginner.

The Past, Present, and Future of Bam Adebayo

/0 Comments/in , /by

Bam Adebayo’s season had an unfortunate ending after being swept in the first round by the Milwaukee Bucks. But that shouldn’t dictate his overall progression and career year he had in the regular season.

This obviously was far from a normal season in the NBA, which made this period of time even more developmental centric than usual. He recorded a career high in points, assists, steals, and free throw percentage, while slightly adjusting into different offensive schemes.

As we know, the dribble hand-off was ran into the ground the year before with Adebayo and Duncan Robinson, while opposing defenses were prepared to start the season this year. This led to some new base sets for these two offensive sticking points, and both sustained that effectiveness in the regular season.

In most of these roster evaluation pieces, we take a look back at the positives and negatives of the season, but for the Heat’s young centerpiece, it’s necessary to take a different approach. I always highlight “what’s next” for each player, in terms of an off-season deal, but Adebayo’s next steps are more important than them all.

But before we look into that, let’s take a quick look back into the two primary areas of sustainability and growth…

A Brief Reflection 

The Shooting Expansion

One again, recency bias has seemed to completely takeover the season perception of Adebayo. When watching a certain player or team super closely throughout a certain period of time, it’s important to take a step back at times. That moment is now.

The latest discussions that I’ve had about him is the unwillingness to take the given jumper against the Bucks in the post-season, but don’t allow that to blur the number of leaps he has made in this short amount of time.

The mid-range jumper has become a staple of his offensive game now, but take a quick look at the clip above. Retreating the ball out to the perimeter as the shot clock trickles down, he turns into a deep two with a great contest and buries it.

Yeah, he wasn’t doing that a year ago.

I’m going to dive into his jumper later in this article with a closer lens, but the progression to this point must be noted. This one ability opens up the rest of his game tremendously, and it shifts into a much cleaner fit with Heat’s star Jimmy Butler.

Continued Defensive Excellence 

This wouldn’t be an Adebayo breakdown piece without touching on his defensive excellence. I could turn this article into a novel if I highlighted each of his suffocating perimeter lockdowns this season, but let’s just cut it down to one.

And why not showcase how he’s able to slow down the greatest shooter in the history of the sport.

He switches onto Stephen Curry, arms up eliminating the shot, great cut-off when he tries to dribble left, and the perfect angle with the basket to put him in no-man’s land. This is nothing new for Adebayo.

Similar to the shooting, closely evaluating Adebayo this season left us pointing out unnecessary soft switches or easy dump-offs to a big being defended by a guard, but this isn’t the time for that. Opposing guards were aware, when Adebayo switches onto them, it wasn’t the normal big being forced to stay in front of a guard. With this guy, it’s his happy place.

We focus so much on his perimeter defense, but I don’t believe his interior positioning is touched on enough. Yes, bigger guys are able to overpower him at times on the block, but the key phrase there is “at times.” Trust me, he gets his fair share of wins down there.

Just watch this sequence against Portland: he catches the ball out of mid-air off the Damian Lillard blow-by, showcasing not only athleticism, but more importantly, his defensive positioning to get to that spot.

In a matter of seconds, Enes Kanter gets Adebayo in the post, but Adebayo ends up sending it back. As Jayson Tatum knows really well, Adebayo knows which hand to utilize when going for a block without fouling. Off the spin, he switches into a right hand contest as Kanter goes up with his right, and it leads to an absolute stuff.

The defensive IQ is absolutely through the roof when watching him rotate freely each and every night, mostly since miscues don’t occur often from an individual perspective.

The Next Steps

Now, that’s enough reflection regarding Adebayo, since as Pat Riley likes to say, it’s always about the next thing. Well, the next thing for Adebayo isn’t just one thing, especially being labeled as a guy with no ceiling. He recently committed to the USA team in Tokyo, which I believe will be very crucial for his development.

Playing against top talent, getting some extra game reps, and just a great confidence booster for a guy who is never done making leaps. But as for specifics, let’s take a look at some things that have caught my eye for the future, and the possible ways of utilization for Erik Spoelstra and the coaching staff.

The “Go-To”

When diving into the next steps of his shooting, this would be number one on my list: a go-to move into the mid-range jumper. As I’ve reiterated many times, this is considering his defender isn’t camping out under the rim when he has the ball in his spots. And clearly, I don’t think he will allow that to take place again.

Aside from that, this go-to move changes everything. He completed the first step of knocking down the shot at the elbow consistently, but he has to allow his talent to takeover at times. That talent definitely took-over in this match-up with the Brooklyn Nets when he dropped 41.

An iso for him as he turns toward the basket. A hard jab towards the empty corner leads into a hard drive right and an immediate pull-up at the free throw line. He has the length and high release point to make the jump-shot pretty close to unblockable, but the process before that jumper is the part to harp on.

There were times when an overly emphasized pump-fake came into play, where defenders would stop and stare without biting. There were also times when he threw his favorite jab-step, not just to create space, but to get into a comfortable motion.

His jumper always looked smoother when it was followed by that quick jab, and that’s exactly why that go-to move is important. A move that’s comfortable. A move that gets him to the free throw line consistently to fire away. A move that increases shooting confidence.

He’s obviously capable of doing so, but it’ll be necessary to see it come into NBA game speed next season.

If you want an example, here you go. He faces the basket with a scoring mindset, and flows right into that jumper that I was just discussing. After teams watch film on him, they know he likes the pull-up jumper after the jab. But well, he mixes in an extra element.

After that jab, he gives that quick hesitation, acting as if he’s going to shoot. Instead, he explodes by and finishes with his left at the basket. The point of this clip isn’t to say that he needs to utilize the hesi consistently as his go-to move. It’s showing that these added layers to get him to his spots go a long way.

Referring back to him joining the USA team this year, maybe some of those fun one-on-one drills that we saw once upon a time with Jayson Tatum and others will surface the internet again. It’s another reason that type of experience can elevate his game more than a normal off-season. There’s nothing like facing NBA talent, no matter if it’s game seven of the Finals or a competitive one-on-one in pre-game.

A Three Point Shot?

If I’m going to be honest, the three-point shot just doesn’t seem to hold high importance this off-season for Adebayo. Of course that expanded range would change a lot for the team’s offensive scheming, spacing, and possible acquisitions, but pushing the young centerpiece into a certain direction is not necessary at all. Natural development is the essential part for a player of his caliber.

Loading
Loading...

Yes, he has had plenty of end of shot clock moments where he shows that it’s in his bag, but as I pointed out previously, the focus should be to completely master the second level in the half-court before jumping the gun.

It’s why I just don’t see that happening at this point. Do I think it will eventually come about? Absolutely, but a few more boxes are going to have to be checked before that is harped on.

More Transition Offense

On a positionless team, Adebayo is essentially the point guard for a good portion of the game. The takeaway from that statement is two things: Adebayo is really talented and Miami needs a point guard.

That’s a discussion for another time, but those possessions as a point center have showcased a huge strength that I don’t believe was taken advantage of enough. An exceptional scorer in transition.

On this play, Adebayo correctly decides to just go make a play early in the shot clock, instead of setting up offense in the half-court. It leads to him going at the defender, taking contact, and knocking down the one-hand push shot plus the foul.

Why is transition offense such a positive for Adebayo? Well, that’s easy: he’s playing freely on those possessions.

Here’s another example of that fast-paced excellence. While running the floor quickly, he acts as if he’s going to flow into a DHO with Robinson, but quickly dives toward the basket instead.

It leads to a wide open lane as he takes the bump and lays it in at the rim. It’s one of those reasons the way he’s being utilized comes up so much, even being mentioned by Pat Riley in the latest press conference.

The spots that he is put in are clearly comfort areas. It allows him to survey the floor and play-make in the middle of the court, which is something I’ve noticed a lot of current playoff teams are missing at the moment. But although he’s terrific in that spot, a player with that type of talent shouldn’t be your half-court play-maker each and every possession.

He needs the same amount of freedom that he has in his fast-break offense to translate to half-court offense. But well, what’s one way that can be shifted over?

Inverted PnR’s

They’re going to have to be creative with blending Adebayo into a scoring role, but the best way to do that is getting him downhill. I’ve talked about his self-creation from the mid-range, but his best offense still seems to occur when he’s moving toward the basket with the ball in his hands.

We saw some inverted PnR’s, but not enough. Almost every one of them were created by Robinson, who is the perfect guy to run it. His defender is always glued to his side, which he began to utilize to his advantage. He would use the defender as a screener into the guy guarding Adebayo, leaving him with a run-way to the basket as seen above.

Loading
Loading...

Adebayo can then use his athleticism to his advantage, and it opens up the floor for everybody else out there. There are plenty more ways to free him up in this exact way, but some extra inverted pick and rolls would be a great start.

The future is bright for Adebayo, and this last playoff series doesn’t change that. He has all of the tools to continue to build upon his game to take this Heat team to the next level, but it’s all up to him to develop that. And with his work ethic, that shouldn’t be in question.

He’s taken his game to the point where everybody knows who Bam Adebayo is. But now it’s time to show them who he really is.

Is Phil Foden Going to be the Star of Euro 2020?

/0 Comments/in /by

Phil Foden has had an incredible career to date. The Greater Manchester-born 21-year-old has managed to force his way into the Manchester City first XI, despite competing with a wealth of world class superstars for a starting berth at the Etihad. Now, the PFA Young Player of the Year and three-time Premier League winner is getting a chance to star for England in his first major international tournament. Many people think that he could be one of the standout performers in the competition.

There Has Been Serious Hype Around Foden

As tends to be the case when England prepare to enter a major soccer competition, there is a lot of hype around some of the players that manager Gareth Southgate has at his disposal. Few have been talked up as much as Foden, though, who is expected to be one of the main players to watch at Euro 2021. The youngster was pivotal to City’s title-winning campaign in 2020-21, and he also played a crucial role in his team’s journey to the Champions League final.

The hype around Foden is justified, with Pep Guardiola having previously referred to him as the most talented player he has ever seen. From someone who has managed Lionel Messi, that is an incredible statement. It underlines the explosive potential that City have nurtured so brilliantly to date.

Southgate Has a Lot of Quality in Attack

The only problem for Foden is the fact that he is not necessarily guaranteed to start every game for the Three Lions this summer. Southgate has a vast number of options in the positions that the Stockport Iniesta likes to operate in. Foden has played in a variety of positions for City this season, although he has mainly featured in central midfield and on the left or right of a front three, so he will be hoping to pin down one of these roles in the England team. However, he is capable of playing in all the attacking positions, including as a false nine.

England Have Other Players Who Could Shine

Along with Foden, there are few other England starlets that could use Euro 2020 as an opportunity to show the world what they are capable of. Jack Grealish has been such an impactful player for Aston Villa for many years now, and he finally has the chance to display his incredible talent in the national side.

Chelsea’s Mason Mount is another player who is expected to produce big things for Southgate this summer. The 22-year-old’s versatility means that he can play in a number of positions across the park, and he is highly likely to make the first XI consistently.

With Foden in the form of his life and reminiscent of a young Wayne Rooney, England fans have a lot to get excited about for this summer’s tournament. If the City man can nail down a spot in Southgate’s setup, he has the potential to set the world alight.

A Look Back into the Second Year Burst from Kendrick Nunn

/2 Comments/in , /by

Kendrick Nunn’s situation this off-season regarding the Heat is a bit different from other players on the roster that I’ve discussed. Guys like Goran Dragic and Andre Iguodala have team options, meaning Miami dictates how they want to deal with them.

Somebody like Duncan Robinson is in a similar spot with Nunn, but obviously seems much more likely to be back on the roster next season with the Heat. After Nunn’s sophomore season bounce-back, following a tough run in the bubble and start to the season, he will now test the market to see what is out there.

To that point, it’s clear that many expect Nunn to take a much bigger deal from a team willing to give it to him. But the only way I can see him returning, would be if Miami pulled off a huge deal through trade. If they send out a bunch of guys through sign and trade, while there’s enough money to retain Nunn, then I would see them doing it.

Other than that, it’s just hard to say at the moment.

Anyways, this piece isn’t about projecting forward, it’s about taking a look back. Nunn made a bunch of strides this season to get to a point where a good sized deal could be coming his way, so let’s take a look at those primary areas…

An Interchanging Shooting Ability

Sometimes shooting numbers relate to the role you’re in, and Kendrick Nunn is the perfect example of that. Even though Miami is a position-less team, while Butler and Adebayo are the primary play-makers, Nunn is essentially the 1. To that point, he runs a lot of the Heat’s sets when he’s on the floor, which began to decrease a bit as the season went on.

And that’s a good thing.

Once he jumped into the starting lineup, his shooting from deep really progressed. The issue was that his pull-up threes weren’t falling. By that I don’t just mean transition pull-ups, but also the stop-and-pops out of the high pick and roll. That was his best three-point ability last season, shooting 37% on pull-up triples, which then plummeted to 27% this year.

If those numbers decreased so drastically, how did he become such a better shooter from the outside?

Well, insert the catch and shoot three. When I mentioned his role being so important before, that proved to be true within these numbers. He began to run a bunch of actions off the ball, even running some of Robinson’s sets when he exited the floor, which I called Robinson-lite.

Loading
Loading...

Roaming baseline off pin-downs or basic off-ball screens into a wing three became his specialty. The usual kick-outs became huge for him as well, which increased the chemistry of Butler and him offensively. That spot-up three allowed him to stay on the floor for increased minutes, and honestly, that will keep him on the floor wherever he lands in free agency.

Finding the Elbow

If you asked me what Nunn’s go-to shot was in his rookie year, it’s pretty obvious it was the elbow jumper. The question this season, once he regained his usual role, was if that shot would be sustainable along with the other attributes.

And yet, it was. 45% on mid-range pull-ups last season to 48% this year may not seem major, but it answered one of the main questions that we had.

Not to focus on the past post-season too much, but that’s why many people labeled him as a major X-factor for Miami to win the series. As I’ve called him in the past, he’s a drop coverage killer, but when that shot isn’t dropping, it allows a defense to completely dictate his shot chart.

Aside from that, the main reason this shot held such high important had nothing to do with the numbers. It was more self inflicted stuff, which is exactly what I will dive into here…

PnR Decision Making

The stats don’t tell the full story, since the true tell for mid-range excellence had to do with his decision making. One of his biggest downfalls in his rookie year was that he didn’t seem to know when to shoot and when to pass. It made his time in the PnR quite unexpected, since there wasn’t a high trust level with him in those spots.

But as soon as he filled into that starting spot early this season, things seemed to change. He knew when to pull-up at the free throw line. He knew when to throw a floater. He knew when to explode to the rack. And he knew when to throw the lob.

That was the element that would allow him to take that next step. And essentially, that’s the element that would get him that nice sized contract.

This whole discussion ties back to an overarching point that’s been harped on forever with Nunn: confidence. When he is confident in his scoring ability, he’s hard to stop. It’s why his end of the season struggles in his rookie season seemed to be dictated by the first shot of the game. If the ball wasn’t falling early, he wasn’t going to be effective.

Flipping that switch this season into a competent reader in the pick and roll elevated his value, and of course, elevated his play.

A Free Throw Line Dip

The one negative aspect from his sophomore season that I expected to make a jump, but didn’t, occurred at the free throw line. Not about knocking them down at the charity stripe, but actually getting there.

He attempted 1.5 free throws a game in his first season with the Heat, and for a player who continued to flow downhill, it was going to be big for him to draw contact continuously. That was a theme for many of Miami’s guards, since a lot of them avoid contact at the rim instead of embracing it, which is odd due to the bull-dozing role model they have at the top of the roster.

Not only did the free throw attempts not increase this past season, but they dropped to 1.1 per game. Some of that may have something to do with that shifting role that I discussed previously, but still, the frequency at the rim didn’t translate to that number.

Maybe a bigger role with another team would lead to an increase in that stat column, but that should be a focus as he heads into his third year in the NBA.

Finding His Spots Instinctively 

To finish it off, the decision making wasn’t the only area of major growth, since his on-court instincts jumped off the screen. In a motion offense, you must be instinctive at times instead of continually being predictable with your movements.

We saw Nunn learn that over time, and the off-ball role really brought that alive. If you’re wondering what I mean by that, just take a look at the clip above. He looks at his defender, Trae Young, totally ignoring him on the wing as he’s focused on Adebayo with the ball.

As soon as he notices this, he darts to a dead spot on the floor in front of the basket, catches it, and scores at the rim. This may not look like a key play from the season or a big deal from an individual perspective, but it was a big deal for Kendrick Nunn.

These small elements add up, and we saw a much more complete player by the end of the season.

As stated earlier, the future of Nunn is unclear at the moment, but it is clear how he will treat it. Plenty of teams with money will be willing to give a skilled offensive player a good sized contract to possibly make that leap, and Nunn deserves that chance.
