Ball rotation

It seems to me that Stephens, Mathias and sometimes Cline don't have good rotation on their 3 point attempts and they clang hard off the rim. Their shots don't seem to die at the rim like other shooters do.
Vince and P J seem to have good rotation, and Cline seems to from the corner, more than from the top of key.
Is there a shot analyzer similar to Track-man in golf which evaluates spin, trajectory in golf shots. If not, should there be one, developed at one of the great engineering schools in America? A computer analysis of video from shooting that looks at ideal trajectory and spin, compared to other great shooters? I remember D J Byrd having such a flat shot as a freshman and seeing a change over the years. Just wondering as soft 3 point miss would be to our advantage, with our rebounding edge.
Final point: Davis should ONLY attempt 3 point shots from the corners; PLEASE
 
I think that the reason some of our players have difficulty making 3 pointers is a matter of squaring up to the basket and getting within a foot or 2 of the line. Too many times Kendall is 4 to 6 feet behind the line. PJ has been somewhat effective because he ALWAYS shoots when he is close to the line, and totally square!
