Benefits of technology

The patent text explains that shots with high arc-angles, such as shots taken from far out, are more difficult to make and can result in lower shooting accuracy due to the longer trajectory paths of the shot. However, the disclosed shooting method allows the shooter to mentally and visually "see" the target, resulting in a perfect "bulls-eye" shot.

Problems solved by technology

Basketball hoops used in playgrounds, recreational settings and for personal use, however, often lack such a flexible connection and are rigidly attached to the backboard.
Yet, while players may develop the ability to improve their shooting accuracy, the lack of a true “target” for which to aim, particularly longer perimeter or 3-point shots, creates difficulty for coaches, parents and more advanced players to help teach budding or less accurate shooters how to improve their shooting skills and accuracy.
