    dude i just started shooting basketball at this year at the age of 36 and was terrible until 2 weeks ago after watching your video's and practicing them twice a day. I went from making 2 of 20 shots to 11 of 20. thanks man gave me a passion for basketball. I can make them 3 pointers like a beast now. 🏀🥇

    More than 20 shots no luck, watched your video and applied only the hand positioning and spring in the heels and hips, so far 3 out of 3 shots went in. I'm too excited not to comment 🤣 thanks

    Elbow tight to body
    support hand in front
    Drop hips to scoop elbow under ball
    shoulder width stance
    Practice dribble then shoot stance
    Guide hand drop off around head height
    Keep guide hand thumb vertical so it doesn't hit ball
    Open hand
    Arm about 67.5 degrees
    Ball spin backwards off index and middle finger (drill thumb touch that finger after release)
    Practice pronation with ball to get into shooting arm position

    @barberenforcement172 3 роки тому +24

    More tips- Imagine a red dot on the middle of the rim, concentrate on your set point, it’s always the same shooting form nothing changes, for the arc , you want to shoot straight not too much arc. Watch Kobe arc it wasn’t that much. I am a great shooter and That’s what I think when I shoot. Set point and arc. Set point it’s where you start your shot, everybody has a different one, Larry bird was on the side, Damian lillard in front of the face, so it’s whatever you feel comfortable, elbow should point towards the rim, wrist should be bend all the way back. Always do what’s comfortable for you don’t force a shot mechanic that doesn’t feel comfortable. But the most important be consistent with your form.

    @nouher5613 2 роки тому +3

    When transitioning the ball into your shooting hand off the dribble or a catch, you should learn to quickly adjust the ball so the grooves are perpendicular to your hand. Have a set point preferably above eye level, even one motion shooters have a set point. Snapping your wrist at the top of your arm extension is important for the ball to rotate. I find it helpful to look up and follow the ball’s path after release to see if I’m putting enough height on the ball.

    I definitely have the thumb flick and usually it doesn’t bother me, but I can tell when I get tired it gets in the way a bit! If I know the ball is coming off of my hand weird I subconsciously use that thumb to adjust a little and hope for the best😂 I’m decent at basketball, but this is a great video and hope I can keep improving!
