I think shooting is more seeing whats comfortable alongside technique. Rather than forcing something uncomfortable and technique

[@averymacneil3822]

Every technique will be uncomfortable at first. That goes with baseball, hockey, golf and every single other sport. So learning the proper technique will be difficult yet rewarding

I already knew how to shoot in kind of my own way but similar to all techniques but this was pretty helpful for review. Thanks :)

This tip helped me know mostly I make my shots

[@firelord7797]

I tried your technique and now I am shooting better already

[@tangyace5019]

This shot is a two motion shot which isn’t usually good for 1on1 close on. For wide shots this is ok but when your covered or performing a fade-away, and step back, you should raise the ball to around your eyebrow the same time you go into your jumper. Pulling up and moving with the ball is good for man on man times releasing at the highest peak of your jump, or releasing right before that. If you are not as physically active u should do what he does but bring the ball up and your legs with a two hand push but the right hand should be used more.

Thx now I get the shot more and it’s more satisfying

[@lb128scout]

At a young age the ball should be closer and closer to your chest. From like 4-7 I'd shoot this way but at my chest, from like 8-10 i'd start putting it near my chin, and now i put it just a bit above my mouth so the ball is in front of me, but I can still see the hoop as a target. I once had 7 threes in one game at like 9

When u haven't made a shot all day so now you have to look videos up

[@blueofficial785]

What do you do with your non dominant hand? I’m really confused what do you actually do, like do you push the ball?

[@Spin24Doctor]

The non dominant hand is only meant to be a guide hand to help support the ball in place. Using it will likely mess up the trajectory of the ball. There are rare exceptions where some great shooters will add a very small amount of force from the guide hand making sure it keeps the ball on same path. However most if not all coaches and players will tell you not to use it!

[@johnraesayson6059]

Nice👍

[@AhkSair]

I just turned 15 and I'm 6'2 with a 6'7 wing span and it I shoot the ball like u said, the ball will go over the rim automatically

[@bystander-1842]

Not really, one thing the video didnt mention was focusing on your arc when shooting. If you are shooting over the rim then put more arc to you're shot. You want the ball to be coming down as it reaches the net.

[@МилошСредојевић]

I'm 15 also and 6'3 with a similar wingspan but all of my shots hit the back of the rim and it bounces straight out

"If u Wamt to shoot Good Hear me out"! 1) Go to the Boxes near the basket then make 50 shots and per week on each side/ 2) Go to the free throw line and make 100 per day for week and NOT :CHANGING UR FORM:!! 3( Do this for 2 weeks and also do 20 pushups per day and exersize its fine if u dont if ur not serious! 4) After these 2 weeks Go to the 5 corners on a 3 point line and start shooting 10 on each spot for 2 more weeks and making 50 free throws aswell 5) Optional: Try Out Jumpshots at a fast past on eachside of the basket fast pace! 6) After 1 month u should be doing well and a scoring machine congrats/ If ur not scoring at least 10-15 points a game then Keep doing this!!❤

I’m gonna try this

[@jellybellymikeb7938]

Thanks man this helps. Try outs are in 6 weeks. Do u have any tips tho

[@dove6069]

Practice makes skill so practice stuff on KZbin tips for basketball homie

[@nguyenkhangdo2300]

Im one month late but u still gonna make it I got my try out and u better practices lay ups on both hands and practice using your pivot foot, passing and dribbling. Just keep them simple, no need to practice on shooting a lot that’s my tip🙂 Sorry 4 my English tho

[@lb128scout]

Jellybellymike B I just finished my tryouts, hopefully you still have some time. Based on the players around you, the best thing you can do is work just a bit harder than him. Just be focused on the things you know how to do, because if you focus on impressing, more often than not you're gonna try to show off, miss a layup and they'll write up saying he can't make his layups, or his jump shot needs work. Good luck, if you haven't tried out already

[@chromegproductionz]

Thank You!!! 💯🏀

[@vickhj6333]

I did this technique and it worked but I was just not accurate. Sometimes I hit like 5 in a row, and sometimes I missed every single shot I take no matter the position I stand in. I had the right amount of force, but not control over the balls direction. Do I have to hold the ball tightly and let is loss when I shot? Do I have to practise a lot for these issues to be fixed? Help would be appreciated, thanks.

[@vickhj6333]

I will make an update in a few days and rewatch the video. I might have missed some vital parts that might be needed.

[@jakebellinger8496]

Guys, watching KZbin videos does NOT teach you how to do physical activity. You can learn tips from them, but they don’t tell you what you are doing wrong. Pretty much every time you try a new activity you are going to do something wrong. With nobody there to make your personal corrections, you will never get past the first level. GET A PERSONAL TRAINER.

[@nothing-xu8ef]

How much would a personal trainer cost?

[@jakebellinger8496]

@@nothing-xu8ef It depends. Some cost money, others are free. But if someone wanted to be a good basketball shooter bad enough, they would pay the money for a personal trainer if they could not find a free one.

[@z_ebb]

I know that everyone's shooting form is different but this type of shooting you're teaching limits the range of the shooter. Check out Shotmechanics' channel.

I have the same form as you,one hand on the bottom and the other on the side.but how I do it,I don't put one of my hand on the top of the ball or the other on the side.I put both of my hands on the side of the ball,and hold the ball at a certain angle.

Close. Except the feet don’t need to be squared up to the basket. They can tilt away like Steph curry and most great shooters do most of the time and you can finish with your middle finger instead of middle finger and index finger

My knees point and I have a wider stance. And I create a "v-shape" with my index and middle fingers. I score but doing it your ways increadbly uncomfortable.
