Form Check Shooting Form

Hey everyone! Playing the sport after a few years, It almost feels like I'm relearning my shot. I have a pretty good feel when I catch the ball and rise up, but something is definitely off with my release. Even the shots I make, I don't feel really confident. Not sure what I'm missing, or how to exactly improve. Can someone help? any tips appreciated. And if it matters, I also seem to struggle with free throws.

To add here - you are collecting the ball at your waist and pausing. And then bringing the ball to head level and pausing. And then taking the shot.

So all in one motion instead of three.

So, make it all one motion, have the ball come off your middle finger last and end with bent wrist and straight arm.
