HomeCourt shot tracking with a phone leaned on a water bottle
A player who mainly wants shooting percentages leans their phone against a water bottle and lets HomeCourt record the whole session.
What they did
They use HomeCourt to track shots, propping the phone against a water bottle to record the full session.
How it went
They said it works pretty well. A tripod adds arc and form data, but they mainly want percentages.
Worth knowing
You do not need special gear to start tracking makes. Add a tripod later if you want form data.
Try it yourself
Zero-gear shot tracking
- Lean your phone on a bottle or bag facing the hoop.
