How To Shoot a Basketball: (When to) Use Your LEGS!

[matthewbyrne]

Bro you are literally the best shooting coach. So glad I came across you. I’ve watched all the other “Elite” shooting coaches online and none of them seem to have a lasting effect. The way you break down shooting almost to a molecular level really seems to do the trick. Really can’t speak more highly on you my man.

Keep up the good work!

One of the best teacher online after having watched close to a hundred videos. I love the physics and explanation behind why you should do a thing that way because it makes sense and you can reproduce it.
I have the problem of pushing the ball forward while my body is going up when I'm shooting the 3pt and it's exactly like you described I can be deadly one day and utter trash the next one.
I came to the same conclusion you are teaching after stumbling by myself for several month trying to rework my shot so I'm happy I found the "correct" way by trial and error but I really wished I could have seen those video 6 months earlier xD

Thanks for your work.

I watch you and Coach Fui, two of the best on the internet, straight to the point. I just figured out how to shoot with my hips today and this is the video that explains it.

Absolutely love the details and the why behind your drills. Thank you coach!

Mike's physics theory-supplemented explanation is really fantastic!

very detailed and good explanations, love it

[nylashoes]

Appreciate the way you breakdown the why! Any additional drills to work on this?

In my experience, the lower the release point, the longer the distance. Should I still change the release point?
And after watching the video, I learned that power transmission works well only when the power flows in the same direction as much as possible. Conversely, wouldn't it be efficient to jump forward and shoot at a lower release point at the same time?
Thank you for always providing good information.

Is foot placement a factor? Your feet are mostly flat to the ground and pointed towards the basket. Lot's of NBA players (including S. Curry) shoot from the balls of their feet and mostly have feet at an angle regarding the basket. Not quite the topic of this video but I'd be thankful if you could comment on this: flat vs balls of the feet; angle of feet.

who do other ppl say you body should be lifting up before your set point😊

What happens when someone jumps out and has low release point?

Asking as a youth coach that has a hot distance shooter from low release point that Id like to correct as

I really like this video, but doesn't this way of shooting create a two motion shot? Isn't that bad ?
