§ 22 · Shooting & timing

dip / no-dip

The gather at the start of a jumper; a no-dip shot skips most of it and releases sooner.

The dip is the gather at the start of a jump shot, when the player brings the ball down before rising into the shot. A no-dip shot skips most of that gather and goes straight up, so the release comes sooner.

Holding L2/LT while stopping out of the dribble produces the no-dip version of the stop.
