BUSTED BASKETBALL MYTHS: “Get More Legs in Your Shot” | Basketball Shooting Tips

I did the free workout and I waited like four hours and still haven't got it

[@romeosmith4102]

I feel this applies more towards one motion shooters. Most of the distance shooters are one motion, Lillard happens to be the exception. It's more in regards to fluidity for one motion shooters. Two motion need the load due to that slight load. You can absolutely see Lillard load his hips for his longer distance shots. Ray Allen great shooter but I don't feel he could get nearly the distance of a Curry based on his shot type.

[@Misterstallworth]

@@romeosmith4102 that’s because Ray Allen is a high jumping jump shooter… like the vid explained… 2 motion high jumpers do not have the same power and range as a 1 motion low jumper..

[@StreetballStrategies]

Love this! I’ve been a set shooter for such a long time, I always took the old-school approach to lengthening my jump shot, more legs. But studying the NBA over the last few years, the momentum idea is right on.

[@ShotMechanics]

It's all about fluidity! Glad you are seeing some better results by focusing on optimizing your momentum! :)

[@davidf2244]

Fluidity and momentum. The secret behind the secret is to tailor fit your abilities to your attributes. There's lots of ways to do things wrong, but precious few "right" waysto do them that you benefit neither from studying nor clinging to. I'm teaching myself to shoot. I'm loosely following Curry's model. Quick release. High arc. Drilling my Handels. Especially behind the back. Extremely useful for small dudes.

[@Paden-y3p]

Love this vid it's helped me analyze a problem I've had for years, but how do you keep your arms from getting to your set point before your legs are extended?

[@mikewyant1063]

It's important to read the disclaimer. This is a message for advanced players. "Get more legs in your shot" is typically being told to a younger player, who uses their upper body (without bending their knees) to shoot the ball. As you see from the video, all players, including the trainer bend their knees and most jump. With that said, the momentum tip is spot on.

[@gabebower3257]

I’d just like to thank you for the progress in my game I went from a bench warmer to a starter in the state championship all thanks to you going from a 20% three point shooter to a 39% three point shooter

[@ethanroh7416]

THX for this vid!! I was checking online for how to increase my range bc I’m always missing threes by less than an inch.

[@torosloan22]

I never equated to using your legs to jumping higher -- using your legs to me is exactly what you said is important - create power and momentum from your hips (lower body). And, yes, Stephen Curry does have strong legs. Deadlifts 400 lbs.

[@curseddribbler2043]

So I went to the gym and tried to get more legs in my shot, to be honest it actually worked thanks bro 😄

[@ShotMechanics]

LOVE IT! I'm telling you all it WORKS! 🔥

[@lesir2245]

Glad to hear this. I’ve been changing my form too many times from this myth. At least I can become a better shooter now thnx.

[@itsb_rose]

Your videos have helped me improve so much in basketball many thanks 🙏 it would be amazing if you could break down Klay Thompson’s shooting form love the videos man keep up the good work

[@MrCelticjazz]

I’ve watched a lot of the shot mechanics videos over the years and some are more helpful than others (at least to me). I can say this one is really important. If you want to shoot three pointers especially you should follow the advice.

[@00heyymill]

Always here

[@ShotMechanics]

Thanks for watching!

[@jmarcguy]

Been following this channel for YEARS!! I’m in my 40’s & I’m still getting knowledge from these vids!

[@DanisF22]

I started watching your videos and from other shooting coaches hoping for consistent 3pt shot,but somehow I forgot how to shoot the ball like before. I had around 40% from 3pt and now its like 30% or less. And I screwed up my release,I was shooting with my middle finger,now with middle and ring finger. And guide hand kinda feels awkward now. So any advice how to get my old shot back?

[@jacksonsummers5389]

Same thing is happening to me, I'm still trying to figure that out. My best advice is to practice shooting easy shots that you are comfortable with while focusing on releasing it the same way you used to, until shooting that way becomes muscle memory again. Again I'm not really sure what exactly to do but that's my best advice.

[@Lucas-zf8yq]

Danis F0322 man just jump around at home and practice the right form. Practice the motion. I did that over quarantine and i came back shooting like Ray Allen

[@paopao3923]

I have trouble that when I shot it air ball or too a top or go to left or right. I need help to shot good

[@ShotMechanics]

We have a ton of free content on this channel that can help with that issue you take a deep dive on our shooting vids and that's a great place to start! :)

I really needed this I had perfect form but was always missing by an inch looked at my tape and I looked like Russ shooting. Thanks Coach now I know I dont have to exhaust myself jumping high and leave that for the dunks

[@yanis6344]

Thank you shot mechanics

[@jakerogers7916]

Yes and no. You are correct about momentum and how you explained it, but if you're a below average height player like myself, using the "jump peak shoot " method works better when within the 3 point line. It allows for elevating over the taller defenders and getting the shot off. Where as the. Momentum method you cannot get the same elevation needed to shoot over taller defenders

[@quzxy429]

Thank u so much for all that u've done for us u have helped me make a really consistent jumper and most of my friends say I'm one of the best in my high school and that's going up against some kids who have won state here in aus

[@madsdamgaarda]

It's unbelievable, you keep on having so much quality content for us!

[@bendmadio]

Yeah, momentum is the right words to describe it, great stuff that's sure will help to teach shooting basketballs

[@pushpasingh6764]

Thank you for showing my mistake and now I can shoot from anywhere in 3 pointer

[@DonKJB]

Momentum is very important but nobody is gonna start off shooting from 30 feet using momentum. Accuracy, slowing the mechanics is how you start that process. After countless reps, then you can start using momentum after getting a feel of distance, weight and arc necessary for the shot. You're basically describing the last phase of the process. U gotz to check off a couple boxes first or else people will be shooting bricks n airballs in real competition. You don't get Dame's, Steph's shot accuracy from deep over night. U didn't really demonstrate your own proficiency from that range in this video either. In fact, Trae Young was tryna use momentum to shoot 30 footers in rookie summer league and was shooting bricks and airballs.. folks called him a bust before he got used to size of athletes and different elements of his competition impacting his release-'was shooting those ALL DAY at Oklahoma. Getting a quick release from that deep of a range takes time. Put a disclaimer in that people won't start making 4 balls over night. Using just "momentum" as a tweak... Come on now!

[@YourAverageG]

actually steph and these guys have strong legs.they not be huge but they are really strong.steph deadlifts 400 pounds and maybe the others do too

[@_Maxten]

i try to get in a habit of jumping high while shooting on the way up like JJ reddick. but thats because i take a lot of mid range jumpers. i feel like if I don't jump like steph in the mid range, then i gotta shoot quick and high arcing and thats kinda tougher to control when you're closer in my personal opinion.

[@benjenkincpa]

Excellent video

[@jubitahajarimayum1378]

Coach my set point kind of like Trae Young's when I normally shoot but when I shoot fade aways my set point goes higher like kobe. Do you think it is alright or not?

Its better like Kobe if u fade cuz its higher and harder to block but if ur not strong enough then idk

Question for you..... I've been playing basketball most my life and I'm pretty good at it. After several years of playing ball I just realized I set my feet as if I was left handed (I'm right handed). I'm trying to switch my stance and it feels a bit awkward at times. Would you recommend me changing how I set my fee or should I stick to what I feel comfortable with?

Try downloading the app and just doing it. That’s what I did and it analyzed my form. Although there were a few errors. Nevertheless it’s a great app. I did signup on the waitlist. But before I got the email saying I’m good to go, I did the analysis of my form

[@paopao3923]

Thanks

[@fhedrickcaoili]

When I shoot, my shooting arm crosses my face and my shooting arm also chickens out. I mean, there’s “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”, but I can shoot the ball. But also, I’m inconsistent, like I could have a day where I ain’t missing shot, then the next day I’d still be making some shots, but I’m missing left, right, and air balling

[@Anon.G]

When I hear get more legs in your shot, I think get the release timing closer to the jump timing

[@houstonilagan565]

Can you breakdown Jayson Tatum shooting form??

[@sagirkb]

Can you please make a video on how to stop your follow through hand from going across your face

[@destructionwarriorevolved9248]

Question, how many arm strength do you need to apply when shooting the basketball? Cuz I'm a one motion shooter and I always having problem lately. I mean I always lock my wrist, relaxed off hand, feet tilted, no pause or hitch the way up, heel off the ground, split finger shooter, hip and leg loaded.

[@joshlitz4509]

This was a lot harder to do than you’d think

[@lokeshyadav6815]

its a nice trick it helps a lot.... by the way how about the AI tech app, isn't it ready by now....

[@northerniggy8261]

Coaches need to find a way to describe this situation if its not supposed to be "more legs". There are some shooters that use almost no dip or hop... they just load with their arms like free throw shot.. and as a result they tend to have limited range or almost no shot arc. I don't think a coach saying "work on your timing" to a player conveys the concept clearly enough for them to get it. Outside of showing them this video.. how would you describe this process?

Can you make a video that can fix your arm and body when you shoot? (Unless its already there) My arm and hand go all over the place when I shoot. Thanks

[@prestonshipley8598]

Not exactly true. Nobody was talking about jumping more in your shot... leg strength and foot work definitely play a factor in your jump shot. It is not a myth you just didn't understand.

[@danielboyd7561]

You clearly said use your legs and get mote power. The legs ARE very involved, they are the largest muscles in the body and when used fluidly with all mechanics are indeed crucial to successful shooting. True, one need not jump high but ya gotta have legs. Listen to yourself near the end saying to use the legs.

[@themasterpro6500]

[@darmstrong9334]

How in the world can you say power does not come from the legs? Make a video of you shooting after you just ran 10 suicides in a row. All runs must be under 1 minute with a 2 minute rest in between.

[@darmstrong9334]

Bman Mcdowell he literally said “power does not come from the legs”. I have and still shoot just like he is teaching and I know you need legs to generate power. I extend the same challenge to you with the suicides. If you don’t have legs, you can’t shoot period. Do the drill and see what I’m talking about.

[@ryzeclan6203]

Does anyone know how to fix this, sometimes I shoot and it will hit the back of the rim and bounce out, then I try to shoot lighter and it airballs, and idk how to fix it

[@Kisskissblingbang]

I would suggest shooting from closer. Start at a spot you can hit 6/10 - boost your confidence while using good mechanics. Take a step back and repeat until you're making 6/10 from desired range.

[@rshinn8776]

Players with power consistency issues often don't lock their elbow on the release. Make sure to lock out and take that variable out of the equation. then you can focus on the power needed for different ranges.

[@practice11111]

I don't think this is good advice. The easiest way to shoot a ball with most momentum is to shoot the ball with knees bent and elbow bent wrist bent and the ball actually leaves your hand when the knees, elbow and wrist all lock at the same moment. It you shoot at the height of your jump (when the legs are almost straight AND THEN start your elbow moving up, youl not benefit from any upward momentum from the knees as their is no more upward momentum and you might even start to be coming down slightly. YOU WANT THE SHOT to have maximum momentum of the legs elbows and wrists previously bent and moving up with speed (force) and the ball being released at the maximum force (which is when the knees, elbows and wrists all lock together.
