The explanatory model of all motoric movement actions states that you can’t factually throw a ball into a basket. Please comment on the derived remarks which seem to be connected to the main question: "Are we capable of factually throwing a basketball into the basket or are we solely capable of executing an initial phase of a perceptual image of an outgoing ball trajectory shape?
a. Factually you are solely capable to beforehand (!) construct a perceptual image of a latent action trajectory shape regarding future positions of the basketball of which the end of the ball trajectory shape will disappear into the basket[1].
b. Factually you are solely capable to beforehand (!) bring down the aforementioned perceptual image of the whole action trajectory shape to just the beginning of that latent line segment shape c.q. to solely that part of the ball trajectory shape within which you (your hand) is manually capable of actually manipulating the ball. The explanatory model defines this part of the motoric action as the initial phase.
c. Within there you yourself are capable to factually determine that the construction of a perceptual image of an initial phase needs to be finished prior to any actual execution whatsoever[2]. Which not only leads to the novel revelation that this can and must be detached but that it provides a huge advantage that it can be detached from the actual execution of the motoric action. It is exactly the clarification of that decoupling phenomenon that provides the definitive understanding in regard to the clarification of all functional perception processes within any imaginable motoric action.
d. In fact solely the positions of the basketball will determine the initial phase of a ball trajectory shape and although you are capable to haptically (even blindly) perceive the ball on the outside of your fingertips you are also capable to factually determine that we absolutely aren’t capable to move the ball at the end of our fingertips. The explanatory model of all motoric movement actions also shows that within the free throw in basketball almost simultaneously two foci (need to) arise in relationship to two autonomous movements. In which you are factually capable to determine that the (external) focus in relationship to the autonomous perception of the movement of the basketball and the (internal) focus in relationship to the autonomous perception of the movements in relationship to the throwing technique belong to two irreconcilable worlds. The outside of the fingertips can solely be moved by autonomous movements from within the body.
e. In regard to the two aforementioned foci can further be remarked that the throwing of the ball within the initial phase of an outgoing ball trajectory shape will fulfill the essence of the execution of the egocentric formulated will. Therefor the external focus needs to be regarded as the primary focus and the (internal) focus belonging to the applied technique model must be pointed at this central objective. The internal focus is definitely subordinate to the primary goal and is therefor designated as the secondary focus.
[1]That we always construct perceptual images of latent action trajectory shapes has already been explained extensively in multiple articles. Within the scientific proof it all comes down to the conclusion that if you place a massive huge glass (shopping) window at a position between (!) a basketball and a basket a test person will never throw a ball towards the basket with the intention to score. That idea can be maintained from every position P closest to the hand and every position P closest to the basket and every position P in between there (!). Which takes care for the factual proof that we beforehandconsider all those consecutive (!) positions P which will ensure a successful passage of the complete entity (!) of the ball. Further see: (PDF) The scientific proof in relationship to the prior construction of perceptual images of latent action trajectory shapes out of the perspective of the action object - The brief version (researchgate.net)
[2]It is very essential to emphasize in here that we construct a perceptual image prior to the execution of any imaginable motoric action. Although that explicitly doesn’t mean that we are not capable of changing our mind during the execution of a motoric action. If a sort of set goal/target at a sudden moment starts to move unexpectedly or if an intended possible ball trajectory shape is suddenly blocked then we are capable to instantly adjust the initial chosen ball trajectory shape. In spite of the fact that this will happen in just a fraction of a secondalways a perceptual image of a “new” latent action trajectory shape will be created.
