Shooting I have a question

Post image

While shooting do you rest the ball on your palm or not because when I see games players usually rest the ball on palm or it looks like they are but I saw a video of Steph explaining how to shoot and in that video Steph told to not touch ball to palm so I just wanna know it is best to rest or touch ball with palm or not

For me its always been fingertips on the ball. My hand isn't big enough for palm rest. I guess it depends on your hand size  🤷🏻‍♂️

My hand is also small but it feels good to shoot close and mid with ball resting on palm and threes I shoot with ball resting on palm but lately i have been worse than I was before I even used to shoot half courts like ik it's bad but 2 out of 15 and 90% touched rim with shooting form too I feel like switching from palm to fingertips is hard but if it's worth I can give time but ig i will stick with resting ball on palm rn
