Which leaning technique is most effective?
When defending a shooter is the straight lean more effective or the jump when they are shooting? Yes it may depend but any advice please?

i prefer to do a lean, but when done correctly a jump action at just the right moment ie just as they are about to release the ball is very effective too. it all depends if you can keep your 3ft after you complete the jump, or do you need to reset you distance before jumping again if they fake the shot. thats why i prefer the lean and block technique. but it is whatever puts off the shooter the most, which will change from shooter to shooter.
