Is Your Shot FLAT? Instantly Fix with This (99% EFFECTIVE) | Basketball Shooting Tips

How to Instantly Fix Your Flat Shot

In this video, professional shooting coach Collin Castellaw teaches viewers how to increase their shooting arc and fix a flat shot. He explains the importance of trajectory in making shots and provides tips and tricks for instantly increasing shooting arc.

Importance of Shooting Arc

• A flat shot has less margin for error, making it harder to make shots.

• A higher shooting arc gives the ball more target area to go through the rim, providing more margin for error.

Tips for Increasing Shooting Arc

• Use a sweep step by jumping and letting your feet land forward from where they started.

• Focus on using your legs instead of just your arms when shooting.

• Use a higher release point by bringing the ball up higher before releasing it.

• Practice with a smaller basketball or tennis ball to improve hand placement and control.

Tips for Better Basketball Shooting

In this video, the speaker shares tips on how to improve your basketball shooting by getting more arc and better trajectory.

Try a Feet Sweep

• A feet sweep is moving your feet forward slightly when jumping and shooting.

• This trick relaxes your shoulders back, giving you a higher arch and better trajectory.

• Even small adjustments in your body can make a big difference in the ball's trajectory.

Elbow Above Eyeline

• Bring your release up to where your shooting elbow finishes above your eyeline or higher.

• A 45-degree angle on your shot is the optimal arc mathematically.

• Avoid going too far straight up or under level.

Tilt Your Feet on Jump Shot

• Instead of squaring up to the basket with all ten toes facing it, tilt your feet just slightly (around 11 o'clock).

• Tilting alleviates shoulder tension, allowing for better arcs and higher releases.

• When squared up, shoulder muscles engage as you bring the ball up, pulling down on your arm and making it hard to finish high above eye line.

Conclusion

These three tips can help improve basketball shooting by getting more arc and better trajectory. By trying a feet sweep, bringing elbow above eyeline, and tilting feet on jump shot, players can alleviate shoulder tension and achieve optimal arcs for their shots.

Tips for Improving Your Shot

In this section, Coach Collin Castellaw shares two tips to help improve your basketball shot.

Keep Your Elbow In and Palm Up

• Keeping your elbow in when shooting can help you maintain a consistent release point.

• Think about your shooting palms as you're raising the ball. Get it to point to the ceiling as you're lifting the ball up from your set point. This will help you get more arc on your shot.

• If you can get your palm underneath the basketball, you'll lift it rather than sling it. This will keep the ball moving into that nice arc towards the basket.

• Snap forward on the release by driving the ball up to the ceiling and getting your palms straight up.
