What the AI basketball coach looks at
Like a skills trainer breaking down film, the coach studies your player's shot frame by frame:
- Jump shot — feet set and balanced, shooting pocket (ball resting on the fingertips), elbow under the ball, guide hand coming off at release, a high follow-through ("hand in the cookie jar"), good arc, and a balanced landing.
- Free throw — a consistent routine every time, knee bend, the same release, and holding the follow-through until the ball hits the rim.
- Layup — correct footwork (right-left for a righty), protecting the ball, and a soft touch off the board.
Every analysis comes back as 3 coaching tips ordered by impact, each with dead-simple "try this week" steps any beginner can run in the driveway — a ball only, no hoop required where possible.

Basketball shot analysis questions, answered
How can I analyze my jump shot for free?
Film a 25-second clip of a jump shot, free throw, or layup and upload it above. The AI basketball coach studies 10 frames from your video and returns 3 personalized tips with practice steps — 5 free analyses per day, no sign-up.
What does the AI basketball coach check in a jump shot?
Feet set and balanced, the shooting pocket (ball on the fingertips, elbow under the ball), the guide hand coming off at release, a high follow-through, good arc, and a balanced landing.
What are the BEEF shooting cues?
BEEF stands for Balance, Eyes (on the rim), Elbow (under the ball), and Follow-through. The coach uses these classic cues and explains each one in plain words, so even a total beginner can follow them.
Can it help with free throws?
Yes — pick Free Throw when you upload. The coach checks for a consistent routine, knee bend, the same release every time, and holding the follow-through until the ball hits the rim.
What does it check on layups?
Correct footwork (right-left for a right-handed layup), protecting the ball from defenders, and a soft touch off the board.
We don't have a hoop — can we still use it?
Yes. Form shooting against a wall counts — the coach reads the shooting pocket and release without a basket. A driveway, park, or gym all work.
Is this a replacement for a shooting coach?
No — it's a free companion to lessons. A real trainer sees you live and adjusts in the moment. Use Free Virtual Coach between sessions to lock in good form.
Is my video stored or shared?
No. Only 10 still frames are pulled from your clip on your own device. Nothing is stored, and your video never uploads as a video.
What's the best free basketball shot analyzer app?
Free Virtual Coach runs right in your browser — no app to download. Built for basketball players at every level: upload a clip, get 3 plain-language tips, free, 5 times a day.
