The mechanics of shooting are simple and can vary according to the comfort level of the shooter.
In this
Eyes on Target: To polish up your shooting skills, it is crucial to know where the rim is. Every time you want a sink shot, checking the rim before shooting will help you hit a hot streak.
Always hold your follow-through: Every coach will tell you this even before you start shooting drills. The idea is to maintain proper basketball shooting form, ball loop, and rotation. It’ll solve tons of basketball problems.
Don’t hang and shoot: Don’t hang and shoot like Kobe. Kobe spent tons of hours sharpening his skills. To start, shoot while rising as you get more intensity in the shot. Work on your shooting stance and pivot foot. A proper stance will not only improve your shooting but also make the defense respect you. Once they come to closeout, you can dribble-pass them and try for a lay-up.
Correct your shooting form in practice, not in the game: Correction of your shooting activity should be done during the practice session, instead of during the game. This will make a huge difference to your in-game performance. Good luck with your shooting!
Recording video: It’s easy to amend your form once you see it yourself. Ask your friend or teammate to record your shooting session, review it and rectify it. You’ll feel the difference if you do this at least once every two weeks.
Landing: Basketball is fundamentally about balance.
Landing slightly forward after shooting will improve your conversion rate. Catching the ball in the shooting motion, perfect follow-through and balance will make your Basketball shooting lethal.
Shooting partner: Get a shooting partner or a return device. Without it, you will chase rebounds leading to fatigue. With a shooting partner, you can focus more on your shooting form which will increase the number of shots. Having a shooting partner would be helpful as you can still be motivated even on your off days.
Squandering money on gimmicks and shooting gloves: Beware of shooting gloves and other gimmicks that promise to improve your shooting. In reality, more reps, proper shooting form, and stance, and reviewing your shooting form by recording yourself will escalate your shooting percentage.
Meditating after practice: Meditating after practicing shooting free throws before leaving the floor will help you release stress and improve your concentration, maintaining form in the long run.
Practice like you’re in a game: Avoid standing and shooting. Come off the screen, run and receive, and shoot a jump shot as per the game situation. It can improve your in-game conversion, stamina, endurance, and agility.
Dominant foot slightly forward: Dominant foot slightly forward will give you an ideal shooting stance and a triple threat position. You can drive, shoot, or make a layup by just having your strong foot a little in front.
Elbow under the ball: When shooting a basketball, the elbow of your shooting arm should be directly under the ball, making a 90° angle. Maintaining a perfect backspin after the release and balancing the ball.
Grip & Backspin: One of the most essential principles of shooting action is the grip. They spread their fingers apart to balance the basketball. The closer the fingers are, the less control the player will have when shooting. Aligning your fingertips parallel to the ball seams results in a perfectly symmetrical backspin.
