The Key To Becoming A Great Shooter | Rob Fodor | NBA Shooting Coach

[@armaanpandher6683]

We need a mike Dunn and the shooting guy series🔥🔥

[@MrWasphantom97]

This might be the best explanation of consistent shooting mechanics I've ever heard

[@LoopBasketballTraining]

I love the point of continuous motion and not stopping the ball at any point. Excellent stuff as always. 👍🏼

[@robfodor-theshootingguy]

Thanks Jussi!

[@davidsilas2231]

Saw u in Jesse channel!!! Ty coach, u got another student to train

[@robfodor-theshootingguy]

Thanks David!

[@HalfordHoops]

The master has spoken! Thanks Rob for all your mentoring even if it isn’t in person! This is amazing mentorship for all of us coaches and players!

[@robfodor-theshootingguy]

Thanks Skyler!!

[@jamalan7417]

this guy is good

[@nicholasstern1703]

Awesome, Rob!

[@robfodor-theshootingguy]

Thanks Nick!

[@victoooriaful]

Rob, you are a goldmind of great information. Thank you for the upload. Any thoughts on push shots and how to do the motion optimally? Does it differ from shooting ? Thanks!

[@robfodor-theshootingguy]

What do you mean by "push shots"? Floaters?

[@victoooriaful]

@@robfodor-theshootingguy. Yeah! pretty much floaters, runners.. I would say any sort of shot that usually doesn't have a follow through. I would love for you to do a breakdown of the mechanic, the momentum of the ball and how to approach these types of shot optimally, as you did with regular shooting. Thanks, Rob I appreciate the reply.

[@paulgeorge9228]

@@victoooriaful i think shooting is more of a feel thing, any overhand shot has to hve good timing aka ur arms feel loose n ur wrist/arms dont feel like its doing the work

[@petemaunderhoops]

Hey Rob, What is the device you were using to measure, and what exactly what was it measuring? Thanks!

[@JR-xk7zm]

Awesome vid 🙏🏻

[@robfodor-theshootingguy]

Thank you 🙌

Hi Rob, really enjoying these videos. I just wanted to point out that I don't think centrifugal force is the right term to use here. Centrifugal force is the outward force of something that is spinning. For example, if you spin a wet tennis ball, the water will fly off due to centrifugal forces. I think what you are describing is the principle of inertia.. This is plain old Issac Newton type stuff, Newton's first law says once you have a body moving at a constant speed in a straight line, it will keep moving in that straight line. I think that is what you are trying to say here. As you lift the ball, you want to give the ball inertia in the vertical plane (push it up). If you give the ball inertia side to side, or away from the basket, that energy is wasted. It actually works against you, as you have to correct it with energy in the right direction. This is also the problem with the two motion shot. If the ball stops on the way up, you've lost all the ineria of the ball. Sorry to be "that guy", but I appreciate the effort you have gone to, to add some science to the art of shooting. Cheers, Glen

[@robfodor-theshootingguy]

Thanks for the heads up!

[@billyeburke1277]

Love the content. I seem to have some issues with my guide hand my thumb or my fingers affect my shot more times than not. Do you have any content on guide hand consistency or techniques?

[@robfodor-theshootingguy]

Thanks Billye! Yes we do, check out our youtube video titled "How to hold the basketball". Talks about dominant hand placement and the role of the guide/off hand.

[@isiberaja1795]

There’s a video titled “How to eliminate thumb flicking” go check it out it’s awesome 🙌🏼

[@markballard1515]

I’d tried to explain the lower probability created by additional variables. He won’t listen, because I’m not a basketball enthusiast. His shot starts on his left hip, goes up and around his head, then fires from above just above the right side of his forehead.

[@RJBracchitta]

Rob you're the best. Thank you for your insight and willingness to share. I notice that near the end of your shot and other great shooters shots, the ball tilts slightly towards the head. How important do you think it is the have the ball travel only on the right side of your body/not lean towards your head?

[@theartofcompetition5965]

one of the few coaches ive seen address shooting from different ranges and what changes. but your reason for the changes are about getting it above the defensive traffic. but what about strictly for accuracy. what changes. I hope you can make a video getting into the details of this issue. :) thanks

[@armaanpandher6683]

I've been doing this one motion shot ,even though my range has extended when I'm attempting a mid range I have to hold the ball at my peak . Basically is it okay to have two different shots ,one for long range one for short range ??

[@Marcus-xf5fc]

i’m not sure if it’s widely expected in the basketball world but ik many nba player have a two motion shot for the middy but when they extend their range they use one motion

[@7_k265]

Yes it is,You should have 2 jumpers,a one motion for 3balls or long shots for mid range I’d say 2 motion

[@DrDeth]

Hello coach, I really like your basketball hoop and wanted to know what is the hoop that you’re using informations since I have a plan to buy a basketball hoop for practicing shooting at home.

[@paulgeorge9228]

Pretty sure u mean inertial force instead of centripetal force but i get what you mean

[@gilbeats1514]

When it comes to vertical acceleration, it's easy to create motion from the 1 to the 2 position. However, when moving from the 2 to the follow through, I encounter a large centrifugal force because I feel I am continuing the rotating of the shoulder instead of transferring the shot into my elbows and wrist; How can I maximise my vertical acceleration as I move from the 2 to the follow through? Some say move your elbow above your eye level but I feel there is specific point of focus in the release.. Help!

[@ibeatinu2day814]

I also struggle with this too. But after hours of experimenting and practice. I believe it comes down to the snap of your wrist and what fingers touches the ball last. Easier said than done. Though it’s tougher to rep at age 35. Wish I had these videos in my early years.

Try roll up drill of the coach

​ @Rob Fodor - The Shooting Guy in your subscription service, is it the content only or is there also some level of access/coaching like zoom/whatsapp, voxer etc.?

[@robfodor-theshootingguy]

The subscription is only content on our site. If you would like enhanced access, we do consulting arrangements and can set up coaches clinics as well!

[@chumark54]

I'm afraid my consistent releasing point is too low, too easy to be guarded. But if I release a bit higher, it becomes unstable. Edit: I was talking about 3 pointers.

[@ΜάριοςΧεζόνιας-κ3ζ]

No wonder why Miami went from a bottom team to a contender team

[@robfodor-theshootingguy]

Thank you!
