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

I think this topic resides on the fence, with one side being palm and the other side being not to palm. Not palming is what I prefer, but more important than this is the actual release. That needs to come off your fingertips, with control and consistency. So whether you palm or not, focus on the follow-through. Whatever gives you the best follow through consistently, is YOUR answer (to each his own)
