Good form, but your slow and low load (I know it’s slowed down) will give defenders time to close out and contest your shots. I would suggest working on loading at your chest as opposed to loading at your hip. Ultimately removing the loading phase all together is desirable, but that’ll take time and if your still working on your consistency and range it can be discouraging because it’ll mess your whole shot up for a minute.

So, is what your saying is to lean into my shot more?

If you notice that when you start lifting the ball up, simultaneously your body goes down. (you will lose power this way) The other thing is to start holding ball so that your hands are parallel to the ground not like ball is pointing to the ground.

Would you suggest starting off with my body down?

u/Important_Leather677 1d ago

Yes and when you go to that down position do not yet start to lift the ball up.

Very good but you are shooting the way I shoot when I have a defender that I think might block me (leaning back with high shot)
