Interesting thought. I guess your shooting stroke takes years of practise, while your hair may change every couple of months.

Edit: Unfortunately, I doubt we'll be able to have an actual conversation between everyone's pictures.

Easy to understand and seems logical but not a thing that you normally think that would matter (or at least i haven't thought about it) but clearly you can see the effect of haircuts on shooting form.

Interesting stuff

I thought it was a troll thread but after watching that video it actually makes a lot of sense.

he's got a load of hair but it's actually flat.

Meh, Korver and Nash and Bird are three of the G.O.A.T shooters and all three sported long hair for a long time, not buying it.

I've actually never given this much thought, but after watching that video OP might be on to something here!

There goes any hope of Elfrid Payton getting a decent shot.

All have long hair but none of them have high haircuts that interferes with the normal shooting form, did you watch the video?

Having a ponytail or mullet doesn't affect your shooting form, but having a Shumpert like flat top does.

When it rains where you are and you dont have an umbrella and you are exposed to the droplets... You get wet.

Their hair was low though. It didn't impact where they released the ball. Did you watch the video? It's more about height of the hair than length.

I laughed at the premise at first but after watching the video it made perfect sense.

Do beards improve shooting?

Well this explains Elfrid Payton's struggles

Korver is actually one of the examples shown in the video. I had the same initial reaction, the difference is I watched the video before commenting.
