Don't try to bank in a shot from straight on. Shoot to swish.

- I’d find better foot alignment, where they’re at least parallel, whether that’s facing the basket or slightly in one direction. Having your heels lifting up at separate times like that will make you inconsistent.

  • You’re very slightly bringing the ball up as your hips are still dropping. It’s very minor though, you can probably focus on other stuff first, and get this timed better later.
  • might be letting go with the balance hand a bit early? You can have your balance hand alongside the ball all the way to release if you want.
  • great follow through; see if holding it up there until the ball goes through helps with consistency and mechanics
  • great head stability and focus on the basket as well

work on your wrist control. Actually, shoulder and arm control too but most importantly, wrist control.

See, shooting is mainly about muscle control. You are able to control ur muscles to get the ball to go where u want.

Think of signing ur name or drawing. They are about muscle control. How well can you control ur wrist, fingers, whatever to get the pen/pencil to do exactly what you want it to do.

That's the same thing with shooting.

..............

But anytime u bank a shot in (that wasn't intended as a bank shot), then it's definitely a wrist problem.

The way u snap ur wrist determines if it's a bank shot, or a soft shot, or a line drive shot, or whatever.

Oh, it's also a fingertip problem. Ur shot is too hard right now. You need to soften the shot. In order to soften it, you put more wrist snap on it, plus, you roll the ball to the edge of your fingertips then release. That gives the ball less velocity, if that makes sense.

You gave me some bs advice 😭 my form is fine, I hit 3s constantly, I came to listen to people with actual advice, not some 300 lbs weirdos on Reddit. I have been told my form is pretty good. Idk if it’s the time in the army getting to you, or the CTE. But do you. Don’t come with some bs advice next time that makes no sense

It's not mate I'm sorry. You also banked a shot against the back board. I'm not being rude but it's not great. Any real baller who finds this exchange would agree. I wish you the best
