How to increase your layup percentage: 1. lay the ball up high (top corner of the white box) 2. get even higher than that (softer touch) 3. get some spin on the ball - chest toward the wall - rotate thumb - shoulder rotated away - rotate pinky Thanks Coach Collin!
Hi, I got a question. I'm playing basketball (just for fun in ours playground here in Italy, surely I will never be a NBA star, but still..) since a couple of months, almost every day an hour or 2 a day. My jumpshot is improved significantly since, but I'm really struggling with layups. When you say "rotate thumb/pinky" where do I want to rotate? Towards the basket or towards the outside? I forgot to mention I'm a right handed. Especially for a finger roll or a lay-in.. Tysm so much for your answer, and I beg your pardon for my bad English.
just the fact that you were able to identify this tips essential to ballers makes me believe that you really know basketball, i hope you get more recognition, thank you, coach C!
This really helped a lot, especially on the part on how to spin the ball the right way, and where I should aim at on layups, ty so much, Im a defender and I usually come up with a lot of steals and I would get nervous on the fast break sometimes and just miss the layup
Hi i just wanna say that you have helped me alot after 2 years of watching ur tutorial vids i became a pro a basketball and my dad is so impressed of me and alot of other people and my family thank u so much❤️
Im starting basketball in September and i am actual dog water at layups so hopefully this will help Hello this is future me speaking here it did… it helped a lot
I have been trying to fix my niece’s layup for years and this is the first time I heard of the thumb spin or pinky spin🤯 this might be the key I needed. Thank u. Every bit of knowledge helps. I ❤️ fundamentals.
Hey! Can u please make a video of how to finish soft off the glass?! One of the biggest issues with my layups is that I throw the ball up off the backboard too strong(unintentionally), thanks!
@@roninbtw on your last two steps you need to slow down and focus on the top right square. what helps me is i do a move before i lay up the ball. avoid scoop lay ups & finish soft
Aye coach i have a question how do u get rotation on your shot if u have small hands? Cause like I can shoot alright but I can’t get the ball the rotation backwards enough to make it have a better chance at going in. PLEASE HELP
Recently my layups have been too strong off the backboard, and Ive been using the same mechanics I always do, this wasn’t happening before. Even when I reduce my power of the layups, it’s still too strong 😭.
If ur layups are too strong just put the ball lower on the glass I unconsciously shoot my layups stronger when I have defenders around me or jumping to block me but a way I can get the ball from not bouncing off the backboard over the hoop is aiming my layups right inside the lower middle of the box it just bounces right in similar to how if you shoot and the ball hits the backboard you’re able to bank the shot
You need to flick the ball up when you're going for a layup. If it is going to strong, you are throwing the ball at the backboard which will make it bounce back
thanks coach for this video im a huge fan your videos help me a lot its sad that i dont have shoes for our school varsity team so i cant play but its ok i salute to your videos coach :>
Aim for the square in the backboard, go full speed, and push the ball into the square, dont throw it, dont lightly tap it, push it and dont make it too strong
Idk sumtimes when i layup it bounces off the backboard, idk maybe because idk how to control my strength doin layups or i just dont got dat soft touch yet, im more of a shooter than a finisher

Ok sorry, the Coach does explain it pretty clear in the video, I'm just bad at listening I guess 😅

Just saw Curry warmup here in Bay. He practices using highest deck ever in his drills on layups. Amazing shooter. Just amazing finisher.. the best.
You are the best. Thanks so much for all of your tip videos you share with us.
Richard E 😊 Thanks!
I've managed make more layups thanks to this video. Couldn't have done it without you
Never had a clearer explanation in such a short time in my life. Thank you so much❤
Aye now I know how to spin the ball. Thanks coach

Try to let it roll off your fingers

@@kiahisme thanks bro will try this
If u can't make a layup u don't get the chance to shoot
PREACH!
I make more 3s than layups. To be fair, though, I don't attempt many layups 😂
@@DonDeLem true spot up shooters rarely go to the rim but you do need the skill especially in transition
Facts
Nah I'm a shooter
This Helped My Son Make Almost Never Miss His Layups. THANK YOU
Super informative thanks man
my layup accuracy increased from 1.0% to 1.1% thank you
Good job on the improvement
Well done buddy

@@bazillionaire8 I’ll try but when I do a layup how I described it in my last comment it will bounce in instead of over the hoop
I am eight and pretty good but I love watching these basketball videos
Thx dude
Thanks for watching!
I love it sirr💕 thank you for the video More blessing to come sir! Keep it up
Normal layup - Rotate thumb to basket
Reverse Layup - Rotate pinky towards basket
Great vid!
Appreciate the feedback!
It is so helpful for me 👍
This helped me SO MUCH tysm
super helpful, thx
An important tip about the spins. if you are left handed then do exactly the revers of what he said
All your videos are really helpful
Helpful. Could use some better shots of thumb rotation technique
DUDE U ARE A LEGEND U FIXED MY AVERAGE FROM 1.5PPG TO 10.5PPG U ARE DA BEST!
No problem, thanks for watching 👍
I have a game next next day I hope it helps. Thanks in advance man💪💯🏀

Watching their eyes is helping you expect them.
i liked that thumb vs pimky spin 👍👍👍👏👏👏
This is awesome bro
KB 24 thanks!

So good to repeat that stuff all the time. When it’s clutch time or pressure situations you always forgot the fundamentals..
Thank you!!
Awesome 25292 thank YOU for watching!
I’ve always been bad at layups and have not been confident about it I really hope this will help lol

How do you make layups while going full speed tho.
Slow down.

Keep a little speed but slow down your wrist a lil bit

1 thing idk what’s better to go under arm or like ur shooting with one hand
How tall are you coach . You teach very well
First! Love shot mechanics!!!!!
Zachary Bressard #NotificationSquad 😀🙌🏼
I miss every wide open layup i hope this works
Pov you watched this after you missed a open layup
Not always.
Baseline drive from the right side, reverse layup, using left hand. Chest opposite wall, but left hand thumb twists to the basket..
Hi god bless have a good one
TY
Thancks
Canal muito top, só falta legendar em português hehe!
Omg this helped so much i aimed for the middle of the square the whole time
Ben Simmons should be watching this
Coach, when I hit the board with the ball higher, the ball bounces too much and doesn't get into the ring. How can i fix that?
Karu - kun are joking or being serious
Slow down ur movement right before the layup. That's the secret
Thanks, and btw im serious
Karu - kun bruh hit it softer on the backboard lol
Its hard lol, especially when you're 5'7 and a teenager
Coax people make fun of my jumpshot form what should I do
Straight goods eXpress
0:10 what’s the move giannes is doing

Thanks coach. I’m gonna keep putting work into it
☝☝☝ Great video again bro
basketball is the best
I scored 12 points in 7 games my team is so bad that I’m a starter sg
You're horrible if you get 12 in 7 what do u mean
Bro don’t expose yourself. Gives you a bad image
Fo Vo Ik I’m just saying my team is worth
Joke ting. How the heck are u still a starter with that 1.7 ppg average lol. U gotta improve man. If I was coach you’d permanently warm the bench
Chef Jeff bro this was 11 months ago the season is over
Did he make a another video of this
The wide open layup is the hardest
Idk sumtimes when i layup it bounces off the backboard, idk maybe because idk how to control my strength doin layups or i just dont got dat soft touch yet, im more of a shooter than a finisher
Control your arm power, try jumping as smooth and high as possible so you can litterly shove the ball in the net, works pretty well for me
The top corner he said right?
I like the fact that kyrie was the pic🙂
Yess
Hey! Whenever I use your shooting techniques like tilting the feet, bringing the feet forward , my coach always scolds me.
Any solutions??
Plz..
get a better coach
I'm saying
🔥🔥
Once I started putting the ball higher up on the top square I started making more lay ups.
I’m getting real frustrated at basketball practice when I’m the tallest and can’t make a layup 🙄
