I have it on jump. It most resembles the early setting from last year and I love it. Sometimes I feel like I can’t miss now that I’ve found that sweet spot

After spending at countless hours in 2KU, scrimmage mode and blacktop mode, I settled on set point, jump feels good as well. Still having trouble hitting contested shots though.

Think I will stay on shot timing this yr because I love the ProPlay landings.

Set point and Push seem to be my favorites.

I don't even understand these shot timing settings. What are they supposed to mean?

Saw a video on YouTube of someone using curry's jumper to try to explain what each means. It varies depending on the jump shot.

This should help a little. I think I settled on Push but it was tough because it kind of depended on the player and jump shot. For me, Set and Push felt best. I don't even know if I tried Jump because even Set felt quick for me. Release was too late.

It's likely I will repurpose this into a front page thread as we've had various discussions about it across multiple threads.
