The Perfect Shooting Form - How to shoot a basketball
How to Shoot Better in Basketball
In this video, Coach Howard from Howard Elite Basketball provides tips on how to improve your shooting skills in basketball. He covers various aspects such as footwork, elevation, ball handling, set point, release point, and follow-through.
Footwork and Elevation
- Stagger your feet with the shooting hand foot slightly in front of the other.
- Allow your feet to naturally tilt a bit but avoid consciously pointing them directly at the rim.
- Control your elevation by jumping high enough for a consistent shot but not excessively high that it affects consistency.
Ball Handling and Set Point
- Hold the ball with your weak hand or guide hand on the side of the ball and shooting hand behind it.
- Position your set point right above your eyebrows before starting the shooting motion.
- Find what works best for you as everyone's shot may have slight variations.
Release Point and Offhand Thumb
- Release the ball at its highest point during your jump shot for optimal timing.
- Minimize involvement of your offhand thumb in the shot to maintain control and accuracy.
Follow-through
- Emphasize a proper follow-through after releasing the ball.
- Holding the follow-through helps identify any mistakes in form and directs the ball towards the rim.
- Maintain straight fingertips on the shooting hand aiming towards putting your hand into the rim while guiding with the offhand.
