Don't play with me like that girl.
Hi welcome to Shot Mechanics.com I'm Coach Castellaw and this is the hesitation pull-up
move.
The hesitation pull-up move is a great move to freeze your defender and allow you to score
an open jump shot.
Basically what you are doing is using a hesitation dribble to get your defender to sink lower
in their defensive stance allowing you more room to shoot your jump shot.
So it starts like this.
As you approach your defender you are going to do a hesitation dribble where you dribble
just a little bit higher then normal and keeping your hand on top of the ball.
As you do that you are going to chop your feet this chopping of your feet makes your
defender think something else is coming so they are going to sink a little lower into
their defensive stance and get ready to move.
That is what we want because now that they have sunk a little bit lower it allows us
to pull up into a jump shot with separation uncontested hopefully.
Alright now let's check out LeBron James do it.
This move works best if the defender is afraid you are going to drive on them.
If they are afraid of your drive they are going to over react to your hesitation.
So LeBron begins by sizing up his defender, he then gives a small stutter.
As he steps his foot forward it forces the defender to drop their foot backwards allowing
LeBron enough space to pull up straight into his jump shot.
