stumbled on this video randomly but it's just what I needed. I felt like my footwork on the move was messing up my jumper so this helps a ton! If you are running baseline and have to do like a 180 almost does the same footwork apply like the 1-2 step inside outside foot?
So glad you found my video! And yes, you can still use that same footwork but it’s the difficult at that angle. Try to “do your work early” and start to move up the floor at the last minute to create an easier turn, rather than having all your momentum going towards the sideline. I will say that if you’re moving to your left, and you’re right handed, there are a lot of guys who will basically hop on the catch and just see their feet. I think that’s a viable option as well. Most important thing is to practice the shot a lot in workouts and figure it out with repetitions.
Figuring out the footwork on the baseline is tricky, but once you do, the shot really isn't that tough. Basically, you want to make sure to turn before the ball gets to you. Instead of planting your inside foot, you plant your outside foot to open up to receive the pass. For example, if you're right-handed and running the baseline towards the left corner (from the perspective from the top of the key), you'd be going to your right side. The normal footwork would be to plant your left foot, catch and do the "full turn" to bring your right foot and shoulder all the way around. However, if you're catching it in the corner after running the baseline, you want to step your right foot behind the three point line to open up to the ball and then step back with your left foot. You should be starting this process before the ball gets to you. As the pass is in the air, my right foot plants behind the three point line. As I'm catching the ball, I'm bringing my left foot back behind the three point line so that I'm aligned to the basket and ready to shoot once I've gathered the ball. It's the opposite on the other side. Going to your left towards the corner, you plant your left foot behind the three point line first to open up to the ball before the pass gets to you. Then as you catch the ball, you step your right foot back behind the three point line and go into your shot. The trick is to start the turning process early. You can't wait until you catch the ball. Watch videos of Ray Allen. He was the best at this. His footwork was impeccable on these corner threes after running the baseline.
i find the full turn easier because my inside foot is the left one so the foot work is pretty much the same than with the catch and shoot when i half turn it feels weird to have my right (front) foot on the floor first
Can generate power and lift through the squaring turn-which could be an entirely separate video lesson! I practiced this for hours in the driveway-reps bring comfort , familiarity and precision.
I have a group of 8th grade girls. We started them all with hop shot progressions last year, which was a departure from the 1-2 step footwork we thought them from 5th grade. They seemed to learn it faster and be more consistent with the hop than the 1-2 as the season progressed. Also, none of my girls are strong enough to catch a ball going away from the hoop turn 180 degrees and shoot it with any accuracy with any footwork. On a dribble pull up they can easily do it off the hop, but really struggle getting the rhythm of the 1-2. All shooters should probably learn both footwork. At what stage of development are you suggesting adding the hop?
Thanks for reaching out. I would agree that learning the hop footwork is easier, and can be retained in live action much quicker. However, I think the nature of that footwork is ultimately going to slow them down & cause them to hit a ceiling of progression faster than the 1-2 step. I don’t think the lack of ability to make a full turn going away from the basket should discourage you from continuing to teach the 1-2 step. But I do understand the difficulty of that shot. To answer your question, I would say that the hop footwork shouldn’t be implemented until your players have the ability to consistently do a 1-2 step in live action. And I would say the hop footwork should be situational, not an “either or” when you teach it. And the main reason for me feeling that way is because it’s proven across all levels of basketball that the best/most consistent shooters have the foundation of a 1-2 step, and supplement other footwork. Happy to help more if you have follow up questions!
@@TheFilmRoom1 So you are suggesting that learning the 1-2 first than the hop is preferred although the hop is easier to teach? Or maybe that the hop has more limitations? It's interesting, that as a coach of young kids seems to be much easier to teach the 1-2 after instilling the concepts of balance that comes from learning the hop than it has been the other way around. To your point, all elite shooters have a variety of footwork, and in the video your critique of the hop is the difficulty of shooting moving away from the basket which is extremely challenging no matter the footwork. Can you comment on the negatives of the hop in other situations like moving laterally or towards the hoop the same way you show the 1-2 in the video?
@@mydrcohen yes, exactly. I think teaching the hop first will limit their growth as the game gets faster, but with the 1-2 step - that will survive the test of time & adding the hop can give you more options. As far as the negatives of the hop, I think the first reason is when you’re moving at full speed forward or laterally, it will always be slower or less balanced to hop. The example I use when I train is watch a group of kids playing the game “red light - green light” and see how many of them stop on “red light” by hoping. Hardly any of them will do it, because our bodies know it will lose balance moving that fast and trying to abruptly stop on two feet. I also think that overall, it becomes easier to 1-2 step off the dribble when going into a pull up than the hop. The 1-2 step allows you not to break your rhythm and it’s easier to sync it up with your dribble vs the hop (this obviously takes time and a lot of reps, but in the end it’s more efficient)
Good video but over-simplified. For a righty curling over his left shoulder, using a 1-2 gets L-R footwork, but a hop may be better at squaring up on the full turn, or easier than a 1-2 on a catch when the inside foot is already down. Curling over the right shoulder, it's not as far to square up so a 1-2 can be used, but it's not L-R footwork so a hop may be preferred, can then get to a left pivot foot (Steph Curry). On a pop or baseline cut, a hop is used less than a reverse hop or, on one side, a reverse pivot into a 1-2 (L-R for a righty).
I don’t disagree. I’m not sure if you watched the whole video, but I mentioned that your primary footwork should be the 1-2 step (which I can support with all of the best shooters who’ve played the game). I wouldn’t suggest there’s never a time to have other footwork, I’m merely saying the 1-2 step is the foundation that has to be built first before the other things are stacked on top.
So, i shoot right handed. I'm a sub-par to decent shooter, but something i do that's always been considered weird, i plant my left foot and bring up my right, is that as bad as some people say? Is that why I'm sub-par
Unless I’m reading this wrong, that’s what you should be doing & what the video explained. Your left foot should be forward when receiving the ball and you step into your shot with your right foot.
The moment you suggested all great athletes have the same footwork made my day, you have no idea how many details you missed that is why you so blatantly say it.
I’d be happy to hear your disagreement(s) with what I explained in the video. I do want to make sure I wasn’t misunderstood based on your comment. I suggested that every successful shooter has the same foundation of footwork when getting into their shot.
He is talking about foundations of shooting and pretty blatantly says that throughout the video. Of course anyone could take hours breaking down every great shooters unique shooting techniques but that would be much less helpful in an informational video because every shooter is going to be slightly different
I think you would be amazed at how many players don’t have this footwork (or consistent footwork of any kind). And I would make the argument that there is a direct correlation between footwork and shooting percentage.

That’s understandable for sure. Easier on the feet, maybe a bit harder on the shoulder turn. But I get it!

this is basics and but isnt what would seperate 30% shooters vs 50%. who doesnt shoot with this footwork?
