Noah Basketball has taken this information to heart, designing a machine that analyzes a player\u2019s technique&amp;nbsp;based off of their scientifically proven, ideal shot.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;While their two primary shot tracking machines, the Noah Instant and Noah Select, have been on the market for college and professional programs to use, on Thursday Noah announced&amp;nbsp;that their three-dimensional data service is now available to the public.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Noahlytics is the brains behind the Noah operation, providing the user instant feedback on the positioning of the ball at all times, the ball velocity and whether or not a player has achieved the perfect shot.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 &lt;strong&gt;Get the latest sports tech news in your inbox!&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Noahlystics uses a sensor that is mounted 13 feet above the rim to gather the necessary data on a shot. The user can then access the information on their shooting session via Noah\u2019s&amp;nbsp;website&amp;nbsp;or mobile platform. Additionally, the machine can call out the exact degree that a shooter achieved right after they take the shot.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So far, four professional teams and two college teams have implemented the system in training.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u201CHow many times can a coach tell a player to \u2018shoot out of the phone booth and over the Ferris wheel\u2019 until they get it?\u201D&amp;nbsp;said&amp;nbsp;Tony Bennett, head coach of the University of Virginia men\u2019s basketball team, which is a client of Noah Basketball. \u201CYou are also telling them their shot is flat without scientific proof. But it\u2019s impossible to dispute Noah because the proof is there, and the feedback is immediate. That\u2019s when the body starts to self-correct.\u201D\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Noahlytics also uses charts, graphics and a grading system to influence a stubborn player even further. It can show exactly where each shot was coming from, and break down a shooter\u2019s success rate from different areas of the court.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And for anyone watching the NBA Finals, Warriors guard&amp;nbsp;Stephen Curry has used the Noah Basketball system. His shot is actually more than perfect\u2014he consistently hits a 46-degree angle, to account for his need to get his shot over taller defenders.\r\n&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
