Aerodynamic & Goal Analysis
Target Hoop Diameter:

Effective Opening Ratio:
92.7%
Energy Dissipation on Rim:
64.5 J (Soft Bounce)
Simulated Outcome:
SWISH PERFECT
Why High Arcs Work:
As release angle increases to 68°+, the ball approaches the 18-inch hoop from nearly directly above. This maximizes the visible rim target cross-section compared to a low line drive where the hoop target narrows dramatically.
