Great shot for a guard or swingman

[@sufyaanabdullah3945]

Thumbs up Hehe [no sign just the word]

[@sufyaanabdullah3945]

Either Btween Chris Paul, Rondo, or Derrick Rose

[@xevan]

Sufyaan Abdullah No Parker?

[@TheLazytownfan]

you should show steve nash's floater , its kinda like a jumpshot mixed with a floater

[@ShotScience]

When the ball has too much spin it tends to be active off the rim. You want a soft ball on the rim. One with little or no rotation.

[@peanut2036]

very good floater tutorial. Thanks!

[@ShotScience]

Thanks for checking it out!

[@francisparada9299]

I like the floater of Drose.... Am a fan of him... Most of my moves... I based on his moves :)

thats how u get injured my guy

[@Kdkd35000]

That floaters deadly

[@frankg1969]

@@goldwarriornotstate7290 you don’t get injured making a floater or a layup, you get injured landing from that floater or layup

[@DailyLifeMotivation450]

Then, you should be a fan of Tony Parker too...

[@ShotScience]

You may be changing your shot too much. We all suffer those days when we can't make a basket. Here are our sage words: When your shot is not good, "FOCUS ON YOUR FINISH!"

[@ShotScience]

Thanks for your very nice comment Alex. We really appreciate it very much!

[@emperorinfinite]

i have waiting for this video for so long, finally it is here! thanks coach!

[@logansolomon3170]

Derek Rose, and great job shot science. I play AAU and my points and assists have doubled since watching you guys

[@ShotScience]

Yes, it is a lower percentage shot. We're always going to be fans of taking it to the defense, creating space and/or contact, and getting the higher percentage shot. That said, it is another thing to have at the ready; just not something we think should be a go-to or regularly used move.

[@santanapandero]

I've been waiting for so long for this video. My game have improve a lot thanks to you shot science. Im a musician so i dont really get paid to play basketball but it sures feels great to understand the game better. Once again thank you so much!

[@ShotScience]

Yes, which is why it should be used sparingly. We would consider it a lower percentage shot.

[@ShotScience]

Your size doesn't really matter. Get that arc up to keep it out of the reach of the defender and have a better chance of going in.

[@ShotScience]

Glad you like it!

[@ShotScience]

Well, it's more about generating advantages over the defense. You do that by being in control, creating space, and challenging them to react. Most of our offensive moves show you how to do that. Thanks for watching!!

[@alhambra26081980]

First of all congratulations on your great job and your excellent video. I think in NBA there are the best players in the world of course, but I believe that Juan Carlos Navarro, who played in Memphis Grizzlies in 2007/08 season too, has the best floater I´ve ever seen. Navarro is one of the best European players in history and he can do floaters with both hands, far or short floaters, with either one foot o two feet and he does it very usually every game. And finally he surely makes an influence on Spanish young basketball learners as we can check in the following video: LA "BOMBA" NAVARRO (TIRO POR ELEVACIÓN)

[@bulletproofboy10]

Thanks for the upload this is one of my fav shots ^^

[@FIRERESTART]

hey coach i just posted comment on your other video saying that you should make tutorial on how to make floater or tear drop shot and that was like 2 weeks ago and now its here!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! coach GOD BLESS!!

[@isaiahhernandez787]

Always be using these thanks shot science !

[@John-yb7kb]

This video is perfect, in-game i used to run full speed and place the wrong foot down when release the ball. NOWi im actually getting them in! thanks!

[@ShotScience]

How cool is that? We really appreciate that we were able to help you develop your game.

[@uyoass]

Tony Parker has the best floater.

[@craigpreston8873]

Second that. It's a work of art. A couple of years ago he had the most points in the paint of all guards in the league.

[@C13-s2p]

No

[@uyoass]

@@C13-s2p Sucka la mink

[@GrayMinemanLOL]

I dont mean to be biased but the d rose floater is the best because it can be done in the tightest spaces and many angles

I started using this move by my own, I give it the name of "The little hook". This video showed how to make it way better.

[@trollosaurausrex2668]

You are amazing coach. I'm 5'3 and I hit a floater on a 6'2 guy. He was dominating my team then I remembered this video. My team caught up by 14 points in the last quarter.

[@ShotScience]

TrolloSaurausRex SWEET!!!!!!

[@ShotScience]

Whenever you play outside, you're going to have to deal with variables that make things a little more difficult than playing indoors. You really just have to work through it or find another place to work on your game. I'd say that unless the dustiness is really making it impossible to play, then you're probably fine working out there. You may need a little bit of an adjustment period when you go other places, but you should be fine.

[@ShotScience]

It is awesome for sure!

[@ShotScience]

We listen! Often it takes us a while because we want to get to so much!

[@alexkendja2818]

Thanks coach for all the tips. I think that i have improved alot since I've started watching shot science. Ps i thinks it's s tony parker.

[@donovanmedley5756]

Thanks man, I'm practicing this outside now, also I'm going to go with Tony Parker.

[@zacharyreed6930]

Hand congrats on 100,000 subscribers :)

[@bg6429]

The floater is so critical when you are short. As a PG, I always use the floater rather than layup.

[@jakeriley272]

Derrick Roses floater technique is cool

[@ShotScience]

Thank you for your comment. It is appreciated very much.

[@ShotScience]

Great role model!

[@ShotScience]

Yeah, that was awesome!

[@ruudebwoy]

Tony Parker has the best floater in the NBA by far, he does it from various spots and speeds, more than any other player. He tends to lead the NBA or be in the top 5 in points in the paint because of his unreal floater.

[@ShotScience]

Parker's floater is truly awsome!!

[@ShotScience]

Thanks!

[@ShotScience]

Pretty soon!

[@keithdavis915]

Tony Parker. Great Video.

[@khalidmuhammad9925]

I think it would be between parker and curry...great video again...41 yrs old and still need a reminder...keep it up

[@Tigersnake454]

Thanks for the tips!

[@ReynaldoIvanPena]

Derrick Rose has the best runner, floater, teardrop move... he proved it last night. I've been scouting him on the offensive end to better my game.

[@jacobkhoury5953]

Coach I go to the gym everyday for 3-4 hours. And I work on everything but focus on shooting. I will occasionally find my shot and it's beautiful, but the very next day I can't seem to shoot the same or it feels different so I tweak my shot a little. So pretty much I am constantly changing my shot a little. What's the problem

[@shukriahmed4493]

Jacob Khoury

[@Berkmnn]

The problem is you change your shot everyday

[@josephmaumalo1361]

Find a shot and stick to it

[@ShotScience]

Okay! You don't have to have great handles or an amazing shot. One of the key things to remember when you attack another player is to ATTACK THEM HARD!" If they are getting their hand on the ball on your cross it's probably because the cross is too high and/or too slow! Check out the video and see what we recommend on these things. Patience, you will get it! Just keep workin on it!

[@ShotScience]

Thanks for your comments and we really appreciate them. Hopefully, you can "Spread the Word!"

[@tyresemcrae5655]

It's no problem you guys are like the best at what you guys do. Where are you guys located? I would love to come out onto the court to show you what i have in store for you guys :)

[@ShotScience]

No problem Tyrese. We are located in Northern California.

[@ShotScience]

Training your weaker hand is actually exactly the same as training your strong hand, with the exception that you will have to put in more time and effort to get it up to the level of your stronger hand. More repetitions, more concentration, and a lot of consistency. Check out our "Dribbling 101" video, the "Developing your Weaker Hand" video, and the "Layups 101" video. Good luck!

[@johnstefanobeltran6610]

[@fotofilmed]

great breakdown

[@TaeNyFan]

the Floater is a must for small guys! Quick to execute and less likely to be blocked!

[@shihwayne6260]

Where can I find the two foot float version for this?

[@BrockMak]

I did the actual version a few times when I hurt my wrist many years ago, you put far less spin on the ball because you don't flex your fingers on the follow through. I just put my arm up higher, then slide my whole hand (flat palm) off the ball to get higher arc. The second one Curry did relied on quick release. First one was clearly a longer-distance finger roll that Dr. J used to do.

[@ShotScience]

A ton of PRACTICE!!!!!

[@jdb.pandapatan6685]

thanks for good advise so I could practice my self

[@scenario92]

i have to go with tony parker. he is the leader of the best team in the league. also when he gets to the paint he shoots around 50%. amazing for any guard.

[@2000newguy]

YES finally a new tutorial

[@thebrofessor3900]

Coach, Imma just say that some of the advice I specifically don't follow, and this is from somebody who can.... REALLY only hit runner, I'm dragging it out and working to be consistent from 20-23 feet. deep? yes. But it keeps the defender honest in the rare times I handle the ball, and even when I hang out after a pick or cut-out. If one is approaching with good momentun, and presuming they are right handed like myself, I would recommend a more pushed-off dribble whilst dragging the left foot behind to setup the single-step launch once you gather. This lessens momentum and forces the defender to commit or risk, and with one such as I... Risk is not worth it within the typical range of a runner (15 feet and within). After that I recommend swaying back as some teach with a jump shot, or as most try with a fader or a pull-up. This seperates the actions undertaken to shoot from the defender if they do indeed try to commit, whilst also granting a higher arc if one shoots it properly.

[@thebrofessor3900]

I'd note that I seldom explain things, last I did such was when I had a consistent (averaged 4 made per 10 attempts) slightly fading hookshot from the post... from ft range. Lack of upkeep has lost the consistency but the form and basics are there still. I do need help on my freethrow. Shoot about an Andre Drummond %, and unlike him I actually practice

[@Prodahh]

this helped coach thnx!

[@jherrerajh5]

As a spurs fan I see Parker always using it in some situations in every game I think he does how it's done

[@ChuObii]

Parker all day!

[@ShotScience]

SWEET!

[@Jojoczh]

Hey may I ask what if I am not that tall, must I still perform an perfect arc when I shoot which will go above the board at the highest point?

[@ShotScience]

SWEET!!!

[@papabear7155]

Tony Parker, I see a lot of people are choosing Derrick Rose. Although he is my favorite Point Guard, he doesn't have the best floater. He drives to the whole with Poohdini-like lay ups. Anyone who truly knows basketball would choose TP or CP3. Those two are hard to choose from.

[@nardiverbanac6714]

Floater is one of the best shots in the game. It looks very easy, but it isn't. Great explanation. You named Rondo, Parker and Chris Paul for using the floater. You should have named Juan Carlos Navarro, who is in my opinion the best floater shooter in the world.

[@tyresemcrae5655]

This video was very helpful thank you! & which floater you think is more better the one footed or two footed?

[@ShotScience]

Either can become effective for you!

[@tyresemcrae5655]

Thank you! & your videos are very helpful by the way and you are the best coach i would love to learn from you one day. :) & Shot Science is a great way to help a player contribute his skills to be better you are very helpful

[@lakersshowbarber24]

Hey coach I'm a good rebounder and finisher, and a good mid-range shooting big, but one thing I hate about myself is that when I get a pass and i'm not open I freeze and don't know what to do. Once in a while I do something unexpected. I think I need to relax. I'm afriad to drive to the rim when I get the pass, I usually wind up just passing it back. Any tips

[@unnamedC]

have this problem too

[@willowthunder8]

I do this trick and i get past easily, fake the pass and drive in, and when you are doing this, do something unexpected, also, if you get an offensive rebound, do the putback really fast, but don't rush it, because you might over power it.

[@arturojr9998]

I have this problem

[@AzianCrazi]

Hey Coach some questions you said eliminate any spin on the ball but mine has considerable amount of back spin into it and it works pretty well- any disadvantages if we do have the ball spinning? Also the bigs I play with are around 6'11 and they have long wingspan. It works during the game but I want to perfect it. How high do you recommend I should float it during practice reps? Is there a specific area I should be aiming for during my reps? Thanks always appreciate!

How can u not lunge I am having trouble using the legs when should I release the ball and thanks coach can u make a video on when to release when jumping to take a shot

[@glory2christcmj702]

Rajon Rondo has the best floater in my opinion, because he's such a crafty player that he needs to develop shots like this to score sometimes because his jump shooting isn't all that good.

coach is is ok to put a follow through when you are doing this shot?
