Do people lift their back leg heel off of the ground? Do they lift both heels off of the ground? Or do they keep both flat? Just curios what is conventional wisdom or what most people do and if it varies depending on the jump shot.
 
Was watching Brandon Jacoby, give a few guys lessons at their booth at our state tmt the other week and he just stood there and as smoothly as could be, jumped the balls effortlessly with no tippy toes. He made it look so simple, it was humbling.
 
At 5' 9", I do not consider myself tall, but I try to keep both feet flat on the ground.
