Re: What do you mean, fades and hooks are bad?

But the title was more of a jab than actual statement

See above. I have no idea of the offline scene. Title was merely a jab at the complainers here, meant to draw attention

I know I personally don't have many issues with this from a PNO perspective, but there are countless threads on losing the ball in the post....even from a Park POV....what would you say you're doing different?

There's only a few instances when you lose the ball while posting:
1) there's a double/triple team on you where defenders are not on your backside, but on your side/front. This is the result from the defence either actively double teaming you, or happenstance because your teammate is crossing Too close to you, giving the defenders a chance to swipe at you.
In the first case, pass out of open shot.
The second is harder to anticipate. If i can, i try to position myself so the running defender is at my closed side. If i cant, try to keep moving. I feel it's harder to swipe the ball while i'm moving.

The 2nd way i get stripped is during a post drop/spin animation. Usually that ends in a foul called, bit for some reason you still get the lose ball penalty, before getting the draw foul bonus.

All in all i barely get stripped.

My fades are +80% Too, and my hooks +60. Most hooks i miss is becuz i just love to do them from the perimeter, which is a bit far out to justify a higher percentage.

Release timing and game timing are key.

Exactly. Give me an inch and i'll Fade in you. Guard me close and i'll spin/drop. Double team me and i pass out.

Hard to guard
