I am still in process in learning for making a proper form of shooting. I had improving my shooting accuracy a few time ago. I practice about an hour EVERY morning! Just try that correct form, i went to the court near my house and just took about hundred shot in about an hour. Soooo debilitated! But i never give up! I have ever tried stop this practice a few time ago, and the result is, i lost my feeling of shooting that proper form, and decreased my percentage of shot. So, i learn for this. Don't ever give up to practice the proper form of shooting! Here are some drill i collect from my experience and from some sites. Maybe useful, check these:
The other hand is simply there to hold the ball in place and should not be used in the shot. When the ball leaves your hand only your shooting hand should be touching the ball.Players trying to improve their form and accuracy often get discouraged and revert back to their old style of shooting because it feels more comfortable to them particularly because they have shot the basketball their way from the beginning. Here are some drills and tips, you can read these to help you develop perfect form and ultimately become much better shooters.The first step in improving a players shot does not involve showing the player how to" put the ball in the basket" but rather it is showing the player the proper form to use when shooting a basketball. It’s highly recommend not using a basketball goal to do this.
A great way to learn form is line your position up along the baseline or anywhere there is a wall, take a ball and simply pick a spot on the wall and practice hitting the spot using proper form. They simply "shoot" at the spot and when the ball bounce back to you that you shoot at the spot again using proper form and technique. This is a great drill because it helps you concentrate on your form instead of on making a basket. This drill also allows you and your training partner (if you are not alone) the opportunity to watch each of your technique and help you improve without chasing balls all over the gym and wasting to much time. Make sure you have your elbows tucked, shoulders squared, and follow through on the release giving the ball backspin.Once you start to understand the proper technique of shooting a basketball then lets go practice actually making shots. Since the new technique you are developing will still be a bit uncomfortable to them it's not a good idea to let start out shooting 3 pointers or other shots far away from the basket. The reason is, the players will get frustrated if their shots aren't going in and will revert back to their old style of shooting. In this drill you can have a ball or put yourself in groups which ever you prefer. Have you start out near the basket, no more than five feet away from the hoop, with ball in your hand will shoot a shot from the first spot making sure to use proper form, when you makes the basket from that spot or feels comfortable shooting the correct way from the first spot you takes two steps back and shots again.
You keep repeating this process until you develop a rhythm for shooting correctly. Some players may get discouraged because their range may be limited for awhile until they get used to shooting the ball properly, so it's important to watch yourself (maybe need your friend’s help by taking your picture or video while practice) and make sure you are using the correct technique before you move further away from the basket to shoot. I know this drill sounds simple (and it is) but it is a very effective way for you to improve your shooting ability.Now that you are starting to feel a bit more comfortable shooting the basketball you can start working on shooting the ball in game situation. There are many excellent drills to help and I will write it in next posts.
