I agree with hunter. You should tell us HOW to improve our power and distance control. HOW to improve foot aligning, etc....

Hi All,

We'll be releasing information on how to improve your shot, how to develop power and distance control, how to improve foot alignment, and everything you need to know to become a great shooter.

If you're on our newsletter list, you'll get an email as soon as it's ready. We're working on diagrams, pictures, and editing as we speak. It's a lot of work but we're getting close.

Best,

Ive got a question. You've got an article showing shooting form. I was wondering if there was really a right way to do it. You have really good tips, but is it also right in your shot to shoot it how its comfortable to you? Reply Back, Thanks.

When I turned 13 I learned from a neurologist I was left handed. So for the past year I have been working on shooting with my left hand. I had a very good shot with my right hand but with my left hand I dont have alot of power but i can make a 18 footer consistently,but when i miss its usually to the side. I have looked at myy form and i fixed my foot alignment, but I dont know how to tell if my arm is correctly aligned or not?

I'm like marc. I have trouble shooting straight. The ball usually goes to the left or right.

Balance = put your lead foot (right handed shooter, right foot, left handed shooter, left foot) directly under your shoulder. Next, put your rear foot toe into your lead foot instep, this will put your rear foot about 2-3 inches behind your lead foot. Now, move your rear foot under your other shoulder. When you go to shoot, make sure you keep your knees in line with your ankles. This is the beginning, but I was at three viewing events this July and I can't believe how many players are not taught balance.

If a player (me :D ) consistently misses short and focuses at the front of the rim, it seems to make sense. I've had trouble shifting to focus at the back (begin to miss long) and there's nothing to focus on in the middle :D ... so, thoughts? recommendations?

Hey Jeff,

do you have tips on how to teach guards a floater (running shot over larger players)? This is something we want to focus on this year, just looking for pointers. Thanks.

@Charlie Bemis.

I am a firm believer in teaching my players to shoot a floater by going off two feet. attack the middle, a quick jump stop into a floater. to work on the floater, use something that can help you extend the height on contesting a shot. I tend to use a rectangle hit pad for contact drills and raise it as high as i can and make them shoot over it ( it makes them shoot over something around a 9 feet high)this helps my focus on elevation on the floater to get it over the helpside defense. rather than not having enough arc on the shot. Floater is all about developing touch.
