[@buddyvance5326]

Ok, I am 81 years old, Back in the dark ages, I was a division 1 player but now I don’t have the strength to get the ball to the goal from the free throw line, so I started shooting with 2 hands. My form is to get the guide hand to work exactly like the right hand so the follow through is exactly the same for both hands so now I can make a respectable percentage 3 or 4 feet beyond the free throw line. I am just trying to shoot around with my grandsons. Just wondering if any of your readers had similar experience.

[@TheManSoup]

Na, but w grandpa hope your grandons appreciate you still being able to hoop with them and being there for them along the way

[@ROMANTIKILLER2]

The fact that at 81 you are still going on the court to play with your grandsons is amazing.

[@ADDG880]

I hope I have that determination at 81. Inspired by your comment.

Omg it actually worked , I can see a real improvement, the thing that ruined my shooting form was the wrist, i had break it even more like you did and now I notice a real accuracy improvement

[@santiagodejesusgutierrez9167]

Im 37 never touched a basketball in my life skateboard and music took over im now trying tnx for the tips.

[@AS10.05]

You guys deserve atleast ten million more . You‘re a whole group of coaches for basketball players and your videos are amazing . I started basketball and had the ugliest shooting now it‘s decent . Still not good but much better . I don‘t have a basketball and I only play it at school . And because of this I can‘t do your exercises and even without it helped me so much . So thank you for your great videos ❤❤

I’m ten and for three years I’ve been trying to get good form and now I have it thanks to this video highly recommend

[@Itsrunzo]

buddy if you’ve been playing since 7 and stay consistent and play 3-4x a week you will get good, make sure you get some nice healthy food in and you sleep 8 hours a night. Keep your body healthy and agile and lessen how much junk you eat

[@SportsJames82]

Great video, been teaching my 9 year old proper shooting mechanics, and 100% agree about the loaded wrist, we have been trying to get get use to it.

[@TheGameRoomGuy]

Also from What I’ve Seen some players do If they are short Is leaning back slightly while shooting to get a better arc

[@aprilcavins8577]

I’m excited to share this with my son. Thank you!

[@Caibro8000]

The loaded wrist was something I wasn’t doing before I watched this video.Thanks!

Thanks bro been struggling with my shooting for a while

[@tufti]

Hello, great video! I just have a problem where when i shoot my guidehands happen to go to the right and like make an X with shooting hand and guide hand ( im a right hand player) Please help me fix this, i shoot pretty good but im worried in the future its gonna mess up my shot when i get to the higher leagues.

[@YehudaSlater]

This vid made me shoot better in seconds

[@smrtbutsmart]

Yo thank u so much for the vid! But is it possible to give a detailed breakdown of the U shape method? (Namely the transition from the U to the release square to the basket) ❤

[@Ellymaxey180]

Coach hw can get my shooting hand under the basketball every time I shoot

[@CynthiaKelly-v1s]

This tutorial was the perfect guide!

[@miguellee5896]

Normally I shoot with my ball going up through the centre instead of my dominant hand side, but I think this worsens my shot, since one of my eyes are not able to see the rim when I release. Should I stick with my initial form or change it up?

[@tmacattack8302]

Honestly I’m the type of person who preaches just do you. The cleanest form doesn’t always equal the best shot. That being said you should switch it up!!! There’s a reason most NBA players have the typical shooting form. It’s what works best for most! If you had to search up this video and ask this question in the comment it means you need a change. It comes with time and it’s a pain to redo your whole jump shot, but it’s definitely worth it! Keep grinding man!!

[@supreme5166]

Try setting the ball slightly on the side of your head like how to Steph curry does it. At first gonna feel weird but you gotta build the muscle memory I use to have the same problem until I readjusted my form instead of straight in the middle mine is slightly towards my left side sense I’m a lefty

[@phantomgaming5645]

thanks coach❤❤

[@quay91white70]

Any tips how to shoot with the base of your finger tips and how to release while following through straight also how to flick it at the same time

[@Donggles23]

I like your mechanics shit on point

[@chonky8067]

Whenever I release the bal from that height, I never seem to have the strength to shoot it from behind the three point line. Is this because my legs aren’t in sequence?

[@CR7_LM1O]

I agree with you, I can never seem to shoot accurately behind the three point line. The aim for me is really good, but the strength needs working on. I asked one of my friends about this, since he has really good shooting ability and I’ve seen him shoot halfcourts before, and he told me it was about the arm strength and all that. I’m not sure about the legs but my friend told me it was the hands.. but im not sure if he’s a reliable source.. just telling you what I know 😂

[@spartanA01]

Yes, it's all legs and how smooth your overall motion is. Also more practice will make your wrist flick stronger.

[@supreme5166]

Either your set point is to high or your not adding enough legs and arm strength. If you’re gonna shoot further you want to have a low set point but not so low you mess up how you form looks just not placed as high as you would normally have it when shooting close to the rim.

[@ryleejacobabella7375]

Thank you so much for this guide i have a bad shooting form and my coach wont teach me how to shoot properly but u teached me how to shoot thank you❤

[@theYT_moderator]

I was curious to see if he was gonna use standard form or that side of the head steph curry form

[@shaemillington826]

Wow thank you! 3 people are in ICU thanks to your advice coach👊🏾

[@SuperExadidas]

[@supreme5166]

Ye do it

[@damien69666]

Do it broski I’m not fat or overweight but I haven’t been active in so long ya know. It gets you moving and it’s one of the easiest sports to get into especially if you find a court that’s welcoming to beginners.

[@fotismallinakis7267]

Fantastic video keep it up!!

[@engkoilegaspi2056]

My classmates do shooting the wrong position they use 2 hands when they shoot and i know it is more easy when you use 2 hands but i do it the right way thanks for it.

[@aliciacarmichael2646]

Great job❤

[@endu2fine]

Weight room and this is coming from a short guard I started 4 months ago and I've been more physical in games

[@ROMANTIKILLER2]

If you want to have more physical presence, I'm afraid the only solution is hitting the weight room in the gym.

[@syloentertainment1100]

You can also use your middle finger, works better for certain players (definitely including me)

[@jonroda7270]

What about the legs? How much bend in your knees?

[@maketheworldabetterplace5624]

I feel like your thumb on your shooting hand hasto be used at least a little?

[@briangauthier3345]

Very great insightful video , the only 1 thing I disagree with is to put your strong hand's leg in front because it's put you out of balance as opposed to 1 feet 🦶 next to the other ...

[@user-gq6kr6yf5h]

Havin problem where should the ball be when i start upper release? Like should it be on top my eyebrow or should i look over the ball

Around ur eye but u definitely shouldn't be looking over the ball

How do you have a dominant eye?

[@Mysteriop]

I am a new hooper like when I was kid I had surgery so I couldn't do sports until I was 10 but I still didn't hoop till today since it summer I wanna try new things

[@jimmyrh247]

Nice, but use of legs should have been included, especially as younger players with a lack of physical strength was mentioned (in relation to the guide hand problem leading to two handed shooting). See at 5:17 how the coaches heels come way off the ground even on a short shot. Young kids are going to struggle if they're using just their arms or upper body.

[@Ssmssral]

And I hope you go get 10 million subscribers

[@elvandvarrelski3182]

Hi bro I once saw that great shooters like trae and steph they don't always load their wrists, instead put it on the side or top and load it on the way up. I heard it's because of our body's muscles not being build to generate as much power when the wrist is loaded. Is this true and can I do this as well? Because loading my wrist actually feels really stiff to me

[@sets1]

he said it’s bad to load your wrist

[@AnthoneyIsOnYT]

Loading the wrists is a very good thing but don’t OVERLOAD ur wrists to the point it doesn’t feel comfortable. Just load your wrists to your personal preference/comfortability and go from there

[@AnthoneyIsOnYT]

Loading ur wrists too much makes ur hand feel stiff but just loading not too much makes it a lot more bettwr

[@DiegoMartinez-rn7nb]

Thanks man!

[@RaidenSmith-g6e]

I had a game before this and I made 3 points shoots that is so much

[@n.laughpuff6653]

Im surprised more coaches aren't teaching players to do 1 handed shots. If you think about it most players dont shoot well either because they cant balance the ball well in their hands while in their shot path thus they cant shoot straight, or they arent strong enough with 1 arms so things like pushing the ball too hard or offhand comes into play.

Use your legs more. If you get the rhythm down right you will have the power. Also just more practice. Your wrist flick will get stronger over time.

Are you using your legs and arms at the same time to generate power? Is so than maybe your set point to high needs to be lower try lowering little by little until you find your sweet spot maybe that help hard to give good tips without a video of your form
