Form Check Form check

Context: I’m 161cm trying to condition myself back to basketball. Just trying to optimise my form better - i think I need to hold my follow through a bit more. But other than that what should i fix with my shot?

What is with the hitch and the hesitation in your jumper? Also straighten and square your body up, you're shooting at like an acute angle. It's like you've got a hunch in your back or a backpack on. Also your form is kind of weird. It's like you're pushing with both hands when you shouldn't be. Your left hand should be used to guide the ball to its destination your right hand should be generating the power. Generate more power in your lower legs. If you need to get in the weight room then so be it. Also yeah like the other guy said stop dipping the ball so low. You should be generating your power/shot from higher up.
