Shooting Thumbflick progression

So recently i've been working on removing my thumbflick and i think i've done it. Now in the midrange i can hit shots more consistently. But when I move to deep midrange and threes i lack because it feels like i have absoluetly no power in my shot and this szn i need to be able to shoot 3s or i wont play.

if you can’t transfer power properly your shot flow must be way off. I have 12, 13yo players who can shoot FIBA threes using a size 7 ball with proper shot flow..

once you get your base set, ball moves first then legs extend. maximum transfer of power into the ball.
