It's pretty easy. Train with a Noah (there are a lot of them around) and build muscle memory. Check out the player stories.

Half the teams in my high school conference own a Noah. We use ours every day during the season and off season. Two teams in our area just bought their second Noah. I guess some people don't think it is waaaaaay too expensive if their 3-pt team percentage goes up by 10%. Hard to put a price on the sound of swish as you win your games.

Well if a basketball team owns that expensive crap to improve the shooting of the whole team and win games then it definitely worths it. But for us who are mostly not basketball coaches and don't have a job then I don't think any of us can afford to buy that thing just to hear the sound of swish (I would rather use that money to improve my vert and hear the sound of cracking backboards).

That makes no sense at all. Maybe it's just me.

This thing sounds like a huge waste of money.
