welcome back to gatekeeper media's new year's resolutions it's january 15th and the next couple days we're going to talk about scrambling from some unusual positions i'm about 75 or 100 feet away from this basket and ordinarily this would be incredibly easy it requires no thought because there's nothing in the way but if i take a few steps this way and i think about having a lie that's behind this bush or a tree or a folding chair if you don't have this naturally this is a lot more work for me so i can either like throw a more aggressive angle or i can change like my release point i can throw from higher or lower or with more extension or all of the above so put yourself in this tough spot and try to find creative ways and creative release points that can get you out of trouble i'm going to give a couple cases here first i'm going to step out and throw a backhand from normal height this is about getting maximum extension and then i'm going to do the same thing on this side with a forehand now let's imagine that the forehand is kind of covered up or i'm a backhand dominant player i'm going to throw a backhand where i'm kind of like doing a reverse step out and then do the same thing over here with a forehand that's like a little bit unnaturally close to this tree the idea here is not to worry about where your shots are landing relative to the basket it's about extending what you're comfortable with for your release points and extensions let's try a couple with really high or really low releases you probably won't be able to get the same amount of pop out of your lower body so this is about learning to isolate a little part of your throw and change the speed angle and spin that's required to get it there i'm set up so that i have to throw over a portion of this bush that's pretty close to me the way to do that is to get my wrist involved very heavily and then the same thing with a low release there's only about a foot or two of head space from the ground up to the first branch but i'm going gonna try to hit that...
