Arm and hand push phase

From elevation position, the player flexes the shoulder further and extends the elbow in order to give a push force on the ball. In the end of this phase shoulder is in 150 degrees of flexion, elbow is fully extended and wrist is flexing to give the final push on the ball. This phase finishes when the ball has no contact any more with the middle finger of the shooting arm
