Basketball shooting tips
Basketball shooting Tip 1: 3-Pointer Shooting
Tip: Don't jump Straight up and down!
Use the technique called the
"Sweep and Sway" which means when you are jumping in the air, let
your feet fall forward and relax your shoulders so you end up one foot away
from where you started.
step 1. Land with the balls of your feet.
step 2. Make sure your feet are narrower (closer) than you started.
step 3. Don't force your shoulders back (Just relax them).
step 4. This technique works best for 3 point shots and if you use it in mid-range jump-shots you will miss.
step 5. Test it, and tell us what feels better, shooting straight up and down or using the Sweep & Sway.
Basketball shooting tip 2: Shooters shoot! this means that when you have a good shot which you know you can make shoot it! Always shoot it!
Basketball shooting tip 3: When shooting free throws always use a routine. When you do this you will get into the same mindset every time this will eventually increase your percentage
Basketball shooting tip 4: On game days try to spend about 1 or 1.5 hours shooting. this way you will have a feeling for the ball and you know you will most likely hit a higher percentage.
Basketball shooting tip 5: What you should do when you shoot is always square up to the basket. Point your feet to the rim and be completely straight. This way you don't have to turn into the air and your shot will be better on target.
Basketball shooting tip 6: a lot of people aim on the back of the rim, some people just aim at the rim and some people aim at the basket. However nobody think about aiming at the bulls-eye. What I mean by that is the center of rim. When you aim at this you have the best margin of error you can have in any way. You can be a bit strong or a bit soft or a bit of left or right. Aiming at this point will increase your shot percentage pretty easy. If you find it dificult to lokate the target you can use the help of the rings on a where the net is attached to. When you are right befor one of those rings the center is right after that ring. By doing this at the beginning it will be easier to lokate the center. After a bit of training it will be automatic for you and you don't need those rings anymore
Basketball shooting tip 7: train on game like moments. Many players train with just normal shooting looking at the basket for a few seconds and shoot. Try to take in game shots. Simulate passes and shoot immideately, dribble a bit closer to the basket and shoot, make a turn and shoot (like your coming of a screen) this will increase your in game performance. (this is for every aspect of the game not only shooting)
Basketball shooting tip 8: Take 50 close range shots befor every game and practise.
You will hit a high percentage of this shot and it will be a good confidence booster. It will also increase your shooting form.
Basketball shooting tip 9: Increase the arc on your shot. When you have a higher arc your margin of error will increase. Your shot can be a little off ans still go down! The best arc is about 45%
Basketball shooting tip 10: how to break a shooting slump!
When you have a bad night breath in through you mouth for 3 seconds than breath out through your nose for 3 seconds. Do this 3 times with your eyes closed and you will feel more relaxed with will most likely break your slump!
Basketball shooting tip 11: increase your shooting percentage
look at the rim earlier. This is a simple tip but if you look earlier at the rim you will notice you will be hitting a higher percentage of your shots
