Scientific knowledge that can form the basis for shooting at the korf. 

In korfball, mechanics,  bio-mechanics and anatomy form the basis for the shooting at the korf.

Mechanics: Mechanics is the part of physics that deals with balance and movement of objects under the influence of the forces acting on them.
Example: When shooting, you're dealing with gravity. A ball thrown up will always have to fall again. A ball on the korf will spurt away and then fall.
The trajectory of a shot can be compared to a parabolic flight (ball trajectory).

Bio-mechanics consists of the application of physics mechanics by the player when performing movements .
Example: The shooting of a ball into a korf is done by a player who launches the ball and thereby gives speed to the ball.

Anatomy: and functional anatomy: If we are going to analyse a person and the movement he makes, we must first know what the anatomical posture is: this is when the person is standing upright and has both palms facing forward. Then we can start looking at the plane in which the movement takes place.
Example: Shooting in korfball is a total movement that, if done correctly, takes place in 3 planes. Legs use the shot. The speed of stretching of the involved joints is transmitted to the trunk, shoulder, arms, wrists and hands.

If you use this knowledge and what you see in practice then you encounter the following problems.
Every player has his own way of shooting, using the laws and rules that belong to the above mentioned sciences.

Anatomically, players are different: tall players; small players; agile players, stiff players, fast players and slow players, players with straight backs and curved backs. These characteristics take the players with them when they shoot.
The problem of mechanics: According to physics, the ball must always have been higher than the korf in order to hit the goal. The trajectory of the shot: the most theoretical flight of the ball is a parabola that allows the ball to pass silently through the horizontal korf. This is practically possible when the player launches the ball almost under the korf. In practice this flight will always change. The flight between 23-45 degrees, becomes higher when the shooter launches the ball and the distance to the korf increases.
Bio-mechanics:
We make the most use of this.
Balance when shooting or a compensated balance. With the help of balance in the position at shot the player can best control the direction and speed. Balance literally means control during the shot. Do not fall backwards. There are many examples of this in other human actions: Turret or rifle shooting; dart arrow throwing.
Shooting is aiming. It's about balance, direction and speed of the ball trajectory.
Read about the ball track what I wrote in The IKF Guide and what I wrote above about flight of the ball.
Direction:
Shooting and aiming are more precise and faster if the player has eye contact with the basket when shooting.
So moving on a main axis and facing the korf is a good starting position for shooting.

Speed: If the player shoots and has structure in the movement then you do so from a total coordination. Legs trunk arms and hands.
When you want to give extra effect to the ball, a player makes shooting unnecessarily difficult.
