RJ Hoops if you’re thinking while shooting you’re most likely gonna change the outcome of your shot depending on what your thinking about ex: changing form, unneeded adjustments, and some people think about the perfect landing because they think the ball is going in and that messed with your shot most times

[@jameswoodson3243]

Bruh, you just said the exact opposite of everything my coach said💀💀 Oldheads are real

[@brucemercer7753]

Are you a Guard that regularly Dribbles the ball in your Offense and are you Short? If so... listen to this guy. If you are a Forward OR Tall OR someone that usually gets the ball off of the Kick/Dish from Inside or on the Wing from the Top? If so... listen to you coach. This guy does know what he is talking about. But what he knows and teaches is pretty much all built around being a SHORT, dribble heavy Guard. I'm not saying you CAN"T do it his way if you are not a short, dribble heavy Guard. But doing this his way takes away all of the advantages of being Tall and is unrealistic unless you are dribbling into most of your shots. Once you factor in coming off screens to catch and shoot or waiting on the kind of passes you get from the Top to the Wing or from the Lane to the Wing... you are now dealing with unreliable passes (most of the time). You'll be reaching wide to the Left or right, digging the pass off of you toes, pulling the ball out of the air as far as you can reach etc etc etc You will not have time to catch that crap pass and load it the way this guy says in time to get off a consistent shot. You will make more than enough shots getting into a Loaded position above the Shoulder if you are STRONG ENOUGH and your Hand and Wrist Mechanics/Form is right. You are not shooting the deeper NBA "3". If you can shoot 50 a day in practice and hit the rim each time... you are strong enough to shoot this way in games when you will usually shot 10 or less. If you are missing too many... your follow-through is probably your problem..

[@brucemercer7753]

@@ogchef2296 NP. Learn to dominate with your size. Find videos for bigs and the position you play OR want to play. Know all of your footwork.

Hadn't played basketball in a decade. Ran into some trouble in high school that took the sport away and became resentful. Finally got back shooting during quarantine and man it feels good! Was discouraged because my jumper was trash but over the past few weeks has improved. Wild that one of the main things holding me back was old thinking. Used to always go with what was comfortable, but coaches seem to beat that out of you until you conform to what they expect a jump shot to be. Have always gathered it low with hand a bit to the right to get more control with my middle finger to get a crisp rotation. This video helped me see I need to go with what came natural!

I wonder why do Kobe Bryant uses Heel Strikes on his jumpshots. And his jumpshots are known to be deadly.

[@bigkatkreative]

Many sports train you this way, for basketball it could be advantageous to flat or toe strike, but for Maxim height, heel striking is biomechanically superior. Every long jumper, high jumper, and triple jumper in the world jumps off the heel for vertical force production.

[@oldschoolsaint]

Old time HS and college coach here. The video you chose here shows guys getting into their jump shot off the bounce. So, of course the shooting pocket is going to begin at waist level. The ball HAS TO move through waist level to release point (I used to call that "gathering"). But what happens when you're coming off a screen or spotting up on shots when the ball is delivered above the waist? Your method requires a significant dipping of the ball. Please don't pretend that you don't lose precious time when you do that. And your method completely takes your rhythm, momentum, and legs out of the equation on the sorts of shots I mentioned. I taught kids to catch with knees bent and hands ready....hands at shooting pocket height in block and tuck position...utilizing either a two foot jump stop, 1-2 stop or inside/outside pivot depending on the location of the pass and defender. Coached many great shooters in my day. Everyone wants to re-invent the wheel. But you simply can't change the laws of physics.

[@nealevans8647]

Great info! I see so many kids struggling with their shot and they are told: square shoulders and toes up, don't dip, load high and fire your shooting arm off like a spring. They end up spending all their time forcing their bodies to " make it work" and have wildly inconsistent shots. I have applied these principles with my daughter and she has a gorgeous shot that may miss on distance but rarely misses to the sides. I got the " oh you are doing it that way" grief from other coaches. The results speak for themselves. Keep it up!!

[@ciri1993]

Loading the ball low helps initiate the legs into the shot creating more force, it’s not just about the arms. Women especially have to do this. Elbow under and directly behind the ball at release is essential. Ball should go from strong side hip and up in a straight line for consistency in shooting accuracy.

[@haydengladden7698]

I'm the 15 view in this video

[@darindthomas]

One huge piece of advice I’d give to anyone looking to become more accurate and have more follow through: Snap your shooting elbow at the peak of your shot. Right when the ball is aimed and ready for release, snap your elbow and continue to follow through. Kobe is a good example of this technique, just watch his shooting elbow. This helps me with contested shots, fades, and open shots. Another one is that I never think about my shot. Mostly because I don’t know when I’m going to shoot. But I’ve found it that I make way more shots when I just let it fly vs lining it up and measuring the wind ☝🏾

[@nofurtherwest3474]

Can I ask (I'm new) - where are your eyes looking during the whole shooting process? Ok, sure at first you have to look at the basket, but then when you bring your hand up and start extending your elbow... is your shooting hand blocking the view of basket? Or is your hand off to the side of your eyeline? thx

[@darindthomas]

@@nofurtherwest3474 that’s a great question! It helps me to not really look at the rim until I’m at my release point. For example, when I shoot free throws I look at the baseline kind of where the ref is at all the way until my shot is at its peak, then I look at the rim and follow through as normal. I only do this because I found that if I concentrate too hard on the rim, I lose focus on my other mechanics. I don’t really see the ball, because I slightly tilt my head to get a better view of the basket (See Steph Curry), and I have a pretty high release point to keep the ball from getting in the way of me seeing the basket. Hope this helps

[@rjlomas9337]

I agree with the first two but struggle with the 3rd. Yes, I was taught, and teach, shooting from the Shot Pocket which is between, above the waist and below the chin for most players. However, your concept of the hand behind the ball seems to make the assumption that you bring the ball right in front of your face so that, in establishing a "shot line" ( for more consistent shooting,) you are dragging the ball on a diagonal line over to the right (or left if lefty) to lift, thrust, release/follow through. However, what if your shooting more to the right, like your thumb is more aligned with your right eyebrow so that it is easier to not only establish a shot line but is is actually more natural, comfortable? I am all about natural/comfortable. Larry Bird shot like this. I have a feeling he was trained by Dick Baumgartner the sound, really solid Indiana shooting coach. Great Video though. I may show it at my clinic I am running tomorrow.

Bird's shot came from his shoulder

Joshua Fernandez trueee... But REAL hard for most people to replicate successfully... That’s why we haven’t really seen a shooter like it since 👍🏼

I was ready to give up on basketball yesterday bc I make shots in shootaround but never in games, but I'm gonna tough it out and keep going

Lmao no. The hand behind the ball advice is soo wrong just watching his hand and arms. He shooting from the center so of course the ball is gonna roll off to a wrong position. Lmao
