The perfect basketball shot approaches the hoop at a 45-degree angle and lands 11 inches past the front rim. Noah Basketball has taken this information to heart, designing a machine that analyzes a player’s technique based off of their scientifically proven, ideal shot.
While their two primary shot tracking machines, the Noah Instant and Noah Select, have been on the market for college and professional programs to use, on Thursday Noah announced that their three-dimensional data service is now available to the public.
Noahlytics is the brains behind the Noah operation, providing the user instant feedback on the positioning of the ball at all times, the ball velocity and whether or not a player has achieved the perfect shot.
Noahlytics uses a sensor that is mounted 13 feet above the rim to gather the necessary data on a shot. The user can then access the information on their shooting session via Noah’s website or mobile platform. Additionally, the machine can call out the exact degree that a shooter achieved right after they take the shot.
