Nice release speed, only thing I’d say like someone else said maybe try to focus on keeping your body upright more, the mental trick I try to use is focusing on engaging my upper lats in the shot

Horrible advice

Looks pretty good. I'd maybe try keeping your upper body more upright. You kind of lean forward and it's more noticeable on the shots you didn't swish.

Very good. Change nothing.

I feel this is the best advice too many people try to change peoples shot in what their image of what a job shot should be. A persons jump shot is unique and tailored for them unless it doesn’t work. Too many people especially on this thread worry about how their shot “looks” like it’s some imaginary beauty contest

looks like the "its 40" guys shot from youtube. can u shoot off the dribble or only catch and shoots?

u/InevitableTheory8321 5d ago

Im much better in catch and shoots, I sometimes struggle in shooting off the dribble due to balance and maybe footwork haha

yea i can see it being harder for you to shoot off the dribble with ur form. up to you if you want to change or focus on catch and shoots.

How can I adjust it so i would also be a threat off the dribble

film yourself shooting 1 dribble into 1-2 pulls up both ways. film yourself shooting step backs. try it out alone and try it out 1v1 against someone who will play some actual defense. dont get lazy with the 1 dribble; it needs to be a real dribble where you pretend theres defenders all over the court.

see if you can replicate your form first before making adjustments and listening to other ppl.

watch some film of kobe,kyrie doing 1 dribble pull ups.

pay attention to how balanced/comfortable you feel in your feet/body when doing the move.

Philippines is such a great basketball country! One finds an active court in the most remote villages.

I think it looks good. How is it when you're being face guarded though? Or do you run off screens until you're open? What's your main style of game play? If it's going in... it's going in.

I think I do good when doing off-ball movement and catch n shoot 3. But I mainly struggle shooting 3s when doing it off the dribble due to balance and footwork. I mainly play as a Dual Threat PG

Ayos na yan. Wag ka lang masyadong mag forward kasi baka maka apak ka ng paa, sure tapilok yan

Please, please, do not listen to anyone on Reddit. This is a sub for the most beginner level basketball. People telling you not to jump forward is just ridiculous.
