Number 1 Reason You're Missing Shots: How To Shoot A Basketball

[@lakermark2006]

3:56 - this is an absolutely perfect way to explain this. the results i got allowed me to smooth the transfer of power from the lower body to the upper, I was wearing the net out today. thank you so much for putting this great content out there!

[@prettyperson8107]

Defending is more suited for me i guess

[@owenxie1103]

Gacha Potter yup my offense absolutely sucks

[@klhofficial3552]

Talented makes stars Practice makes great athelete Defend makes champions But combines all equals your best

[@m.a.g-05]

Anybody can become a shooter, just gotta put the work in

[@anonymous6661]

Same and dribbling

[@T1Oracle]

All I did was defend when I was in school. I would snatch the ball the instant someone tried a between the legs dribble.

[@Sashimansour7]

really used lonzo ball to show bad form ... damn shots fired

[@alexwong9586]

mansour taveras at what time?

[@parkerlbrady]

mansour taveras he's trash I hate Lonzo

[@brandonr1590]

😂 it's just because his form looks odd

[@brandonr1590]

Alex Wong the thumb nail

[@ShotMechanics]

Bang bang ;)

[@cory8318]

Thanks Coach for constantly putting out these helpful videos. Keep the great work up!

[@nicolewalker9]

I was air balling so much shots. This helped me so much!

[@itstonnix7348]

Under the goal? Cuz same... I kept hitting the top of the board and then decided to flatten out my arc and just hurt my shots so bad

[@Vortex_Feedz]

I be airballing on double rim 😞 I gotta shoot even higher

[@soldier2gud4me]

Thank you very much. Your tips in every video have done a lot of improvements in my shots. Love your videos. Actually works for me having my feet fall forward. But actually before i had the idea of tilting my back to have a proper 45 degree view before making the shot. Your explanation is way better and less stress to the spine.

[@trynagetrich582]

Coach C really evolved my shot I've been watching his vids for over 2 years now thanks coach

[@cynicallockyy8932]

I’m watching this cause I brick alot😂

[@bigsmoke9074]

Im scoring (most times with bankshot) but i throw bricks

[@darkne55drifter]

Yeah man when I shoot it’s literally look like it’s gonna go in but it just hits the back of the rim and goes to the other side of the court

[@cholloadiong9349]

Been shooting a lot of bricks my friends call me JohnWall 🤣🤣

[@Nanascorin]

@@cholloadiong9349 😂😂😂😂

[@Nanascorin]

@@darkne55drifter facts for me it goes over the whole backboard sometimes or I air ball when it looks like it's going in

[@G8r_24]

Where were these videos when I was in high school!? Love the explanations. So clear.

[@Anonymousunknownaka]

Coach really be splashing bro😂😂😂

[@ericevan12]

Thanks for the great content, coach. I've been using your tips for the past year, and my game has dramatically improved. I couldn't be happier.

[@rell4514]

a lot of people told me don't jump forward but when i do it works but can be dangerous during contested shot just be careful when doing this you can do push ups to help your shot get better to

[@LucasRodriguez-mr5ol]

It helps me with all of my games keep up with the good work

[@ViceArancibia]

savage thumbnail on the GOAT

[@micverse90]

“Of course Lonzo doesn’t listen to nas. I can see it in the way he plays ball!”-Michael Rapaport-😫😂

[@basketballerzay6310]

Awesome that's why I've been missing shots

[@vintagesnowruto6990]

I still come back to this video ahen my shots feeling broke that jump forward with your shot makes your arc better 💯®🔥

[@baraka99]

Amazing video. You are a great coach

[@teamocristo3]

I am a dribbler and a sbooter playmaker really but learning from this video dont even try pulling up

[@TUKUMZ]

Been watching your videos for about a month now. Good stuff. You communicate well. Hopefully I’ll be a sniper in my games of Pig against myself. I’ve thrown more bricks up than a full time Brazilian mason.

[@BlackSupes]

You HELPED me a lot thanks for the advice.

[@nitoldragneel8017]

Thanks.The feet forward trick worked greatly for me

[@studyster1660]

Thanks! This helped me a lot I made my release a bit higher and I made soo many more shots

[@lucasconway2286]

Thanks this helped me so much

[@Carl-dj6cs]

I’m nasty at mid ranges but I need help with ball handling and threes I’m really short too I can’t drive to the rim usually or pull mid

[@24djparker]

Carl work on your floater. If your floater drops consistently when you drive the ball defenders will step up which will give you room to blow by for layups even if you’re short. 3 pointers come with lots of work on your form. Ball handling comes from repetition also.

[@jasonmoehl6994]

Fantastic content. Thanks coach

[@tiffanyrojas1874]

i'm so glad i found this guy

[@stanleyho8446]

Excellent, works for me..

[@Cowgirl0009]

nice job on this video and you are really good at 3 point shots

[@TheLostMc2003]

The best coach i swear

[@samrathjohn9331]

Could you please make a video to explain whether we push the ball from set point or using our arm as a catapult? I’m so confused regarding this. When I use my arm as a catapult then my ring finger is always touching the ball. I’m making 1 basket out of 10. Really need to understand what exactly is happening once the elbow is in L position. Would be nice if it’s explained in a video in slow motion. I never learned the technique in school so I’m struggling a lot with shooting 😢. Nobody wants to pass the ball to me. I sit on the bench for 55 minutes and play for only 5 minutes. It’s so depressing.

[@jacebarlow108]

Thx so much this tutorial helped me get more than 15 points in my games! Keep up the good work!!!

[@robertperlman5150]

I started working out and didn’t play basketball for a while and now every shot I take slams off the backboard

[@jaylinpack6180]

YOU SHOULD MAKE SOME MORE VIDEOS ON SHOOTING. THANKS COACH FOR THE TIPS

You and ilovetvbasketball i love you and him help me out on shooting

[@ashleyrose180]

@shotmechanics can you make a video on how to jump higher to dunk.

[@ashleyrose180]

@Livingston thanks

[@T4nish]

You are great coach

[@azraelhazee]

But when I shoot high my aiming is off, how do I fix that

[@CALISUPERSPORT]

Maybe you're being too wild with the wrist flick.

[@soniczgaming6556]

Shoot lower unit it is comfortable then slowly build it up

[@motivatorsprods2920]

very good sir I want a video about never missing shots and good short form this video was fabulous☺☺☺☺

[@esinoah8909]

Thanks coach! Appreciate it.

[@cslusher8258]

This was so helpful

[@mannyjunior_gameplay9165]

This helped alot

[@grantlawler8106]

Could you make a video on ways, and workouts you can do to get a higher ark and release on your shot, as well as ways, and workouts you can do to get a quicker release?

[@rocketskyvolta3004]

Jump forward. Ha. Land on defender's feet and get jacked up like O'Dell Beckham. Nah.. just concentrate on high arc. Plus jumping in you can commit fowl or defender is taller than you chances of blocking your shot higher. The goal is always to make space to release. Jumping forward only works IF YOUR PLAYING BY YOURSELF

[@HasibYouTube]

Thank u its very good information

[@alexvkcr]

AMAZING TIP

[@omarelgarawany3481]

nice vid!

[@johncarlomorre4157]

[@Ns-jm8es]

Thanks coach your videos are amazing and I tried all the tips you given but my question is why our hand get twisted specially the ring finger and baby finger get twisted and my hand also then get twisted hope you will understand the problem and make a video on it thank you sir

[@treyfloc1533]

I broke my arm and I can’t fully straighten it but this video helped and my shot is better then it was before the accident

Yo this is just what I need

[@selormfugar515]

Does max one still work now?

[@joselee2]

I have a shot similar to Lonzo Ball's release and I tried to change it for a long time but failed to adjust my shot to a higher release. Is there way to retain my shooting form as is and to improve my shot percentage? I badly need an answer to this, hope somebody could help me.

Hi I'm 12 years old and my problem is that I most of the time shoot to high and to far. Any tips that could help me. Thx

[@leslielutui4781]

thank you

[@domz577]

If you do the little jump forward tweak from the 3 point line and you jump over and release does it still count for 3 points?

[@crazyconormcgregor1514]

ZombieSlayerDom as long as you start out behind the line its a 3

[@terradon852]

@shotmechanics I used to be a really good shooter to the point where that's all I would do even tho I'm usually the tallest one. But ever since like a couple weeks ago I'm just not able to shoot anymore but I feel like I'm doing the same thing and it's really messing with me. Please help!

[@temi2x]

Ok, so I'm afterschool we did agility and strength workouts. We came back up to play basketball and the basketballs were so light. The 6th graders were banging 3s like 5 feet out from the line. And I was banging halfcourts and sitting shots. How do I get the ball to feel like that all the time?

[@potco108]

it shouldn't make much of a difference since your power is supposed to come from legs

[@BUNNANIEL]

Lift weights and get stronger

[@krishnagombar9475]

How to shoot with more range even tho I've seen you've done those videos but could u make more plz

[@Mayor_McAwesome]

hey Coach, i'm a right-handed shooter, and for whatever reason, when i shoot, there's kind of a hitch, or hiccup right before my release. what i mean is i have the ball up at my set point while i'm still in the loaded knee bent position. also, my right leg tend to have this mini stutter before the shot too. any way to fix all that?

[@TM-tf1rm]

@shotmechanics I want to improve my shot but my shot format is like Larry bird/Dr the guy with the afro . But it goes in most of the time but it feels abit weird when I shoot

[@TWEAKZfrfr]

You mean dr J??

[@alphonsodoleman7227]

I'm trying to get back into the game for my 8th Grade season.....we haven't won a championship since about 1990s but the football team has won 4 championships in a row.....came to this video because my shoot is a little off hope this helps

It really helped me

[@addygrace40322]

So I am a beginner on shooting the ball ( I have never played a game only shoot) how can I become more accurate

[@johncraftenworth7847]

if you want more arch, look at the rim to aim, but watch the ball, do NOT keep your eyes fixed on the rim, with the ball out of your field of vision for a time. Watch the ball's entire flight. This will naturally increase your arc. Also if you shoot a fadeaway, this will naturally increase your arc even more than your normally high arc! Watch some larry bird clips on youtube to see what I'm talkin 'bout.

[@jawnzilla6911]

John Craftenworth ty stranger.

[@FoxyChariot]

I started doing that recently. You can immediately tell if a shot is on or off like that

[@julianmartlnez]

I was always to flat I could never hit the rim until I had a super high arc and my shot was super good until I broke my arm in foot ball in 7th and 8th grade and I went through puberty without shooting my high arc and now I shoot way too hard 😔

[@ericfactor2500]

thanks

[@mrapexpredator904]

Hey pepole i have an issue with my jump shot it always hit the front of the rim any tips please

[@slowjamcdub]

How do you shoot the ball with it right in front of your face like that? I’ll shoot more overhead like Larry bird so I can see the rim

[@mrbaseball3762]

You are great

[@pedrosantiago5316]

Hyy thankyou for everything you have done y am 14 and y need to work on my shot can you help please

[@huntermacdonald7173]

I’m a 5’7 12yr old power forward who’s a little over weight, bad shooter, but plays hard d and gets rebounds. What do I do?

[@verbalkint4258]

Gordon Hayward’s Ankle turn that weight into muscle and practice your shooting everyday. If there's a gym you can go to then go there, if you have weights in your house use them every day. Do pushups and especially sit ups.

[@huntermacdonald7173]

Facts no hacks thanks

[@deadeye.-4114]

Gordon Hayward’s Ankle I was a player like that once, and I became a godly shooter. And no matter what people say, here's my advice. Don't lift weights. At all. You are going to be used to be a power forward so if you stop growing and fuck up your bones with weights, people will beat you to rebounds, your defense will become subpar, and you will have no purpose. All I can say is, become a great shooter. There are tons of shooting techniques that you need to incorporate into you game that will make you a much better player. Tilting your feet, loading the ball low, keeping your elbow at 90°,shooting between 45° and 55°,soft release, etc. Putting these fundamentals to muscle memory has helped me, a 5'10 12 year old PF/PG shoot like I'm Pete Maravich. People will discover, oh he's a bad shooter, run a 2-3 and we're good.... type of mentality. By eliminating weaknesses, you are making people work for YOU. They are trying to find an answer that doesn't exist. What's a post scoring PF gonna look like shooting threes? And we have Kevin Love. What's a PG doing playing like a PF, we got Westbrook. And making yourself hard to stop will give you more time to be able to fix your game and become a great basketball player. I hope you take my best advice that I may give and I wish the best of luck to you.

[@davidponce3237]

Some times I make to much shots in basketball sometimes.i miss to much

[@Eric-vp1hg]

I'm able to sink 3 pointers really easily, but struggle to hit mid range shots. Any tips?

[@verbalkint4258]

Azno dont use as much power as you would use in a 3pt shot. You have to not think about shooting and let muscle memory do the work.
