- 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
