Lot of good tips here .. especially about your legs/base and soft release being the key to shooting. The ball should roll off your finger tips. But I prefer to describe the elbow positioning as tucked directly under your hand as much as comfortably possible .. forming the straight U shape he described at the basket. This ensures your arm will push vertically straighter and more consistently towards the basket than if your right shooting elbow sticks out further to right than your hand. So your elbow placement depends on where your hand is lined up .. not really your ribs. Some player have ball closer to center of body, some have it outside their head. A little outside the head is much easier to learn and to do more consistently. Because it makes it easier to get your elbow directly under your hand than if you shot release is closer to center of your head/body. Guys like Reggie Miller have terrible form with his elbow ... but he practiced his butt off to do it the same every time. This is very hard to do for most people. Tuck the elbow under the hand as best you can. The longer you work at this, the easier it gets over time (months to years for some). There are very few Reggie Miller's .. don't shoot like he does assuming you will be able to shoot like him ... 99% of you will fail. As for right leg forward (for right handed shooter), agree it can be a little forward. But it is critical to work hard at getting your legs as close to parallel as you comfortably can. If you come to depend too much on right leg being too forward. It will make it easier to shoot going to your left because squaring becomes way easier. But you will have much harder time squaring to the basket when your are dribbling or running to your right, if you need to swing the right leg further to get it out front. So be sure it is only a little forward. As for your hands ... learn to shoot same with and without ball fakes. This will ensure you are gripping the ball properly AND are able to pull back your shot if it looks to be contested/blocked or you want to pass to somebody with much better shot. This is also something that takes time to get comfortable with. Over gripping is not good, but so is under gripping. Work on these things over time and you will get more comfortable doing it right over time. Learning to shoot is a process if you don't have good form already. p.s. Alan Houston needs no advice from me .. this is more for up and comers trying to iron out their shot.

High release is theoretically the ideal release, and it is for midrange, but you get less friendly bounces from 3 than a 60-70 degree release which is still high but not straight up. This has been proven. Also look at any excellent mid range shooter, wade derozan, high release. Curry and Thompson, 70 release

This form is so outdated please don’t mimic this form. This dude is way too squared up. If you look at any decent shooter in the nba, they all turn a substantial amount while getting set and shooting. Curry for example land almost 90 degrees from the basket on almost every shot. The rotation helps alignment and gives more range in your shot. You also should be dipping the ball and not releasing it where ever you catch it. This gives you range and removes tension.
