How to hold and shoot a basketball❗️

[Jmdaboii]

I won’t be surprised if that ball starts airbending💀

[JDXOGG]

Index works best for me. Shots centered

[JumboFPS]

Ngl that’s a useful ball to train with

Imagine playing with this ball and having perfect rotation… 👌

[DillH]

For me I think middle is the best because it makes a perfect flick but it depends on your hand size

[TheBadiiye]

palm rotation is great for me and gives me range from half court and is great for middle finger shooting

[Mateinthes]

I would really love this 2 days ago 😂 Thanks Man

Stop with all this. Just do what's most comfortable for your hands and make sure your release can result in a consistent straight flight path.

What's funny is, based on my observation, great shooters tend to hold the ball a bit on the side. Why is that? For me, it gives you better control of the ball and reduces over-flicking. Sometimes, when players place their hand too much under the ball, it flicks too much and can lead to losing control. But by positioning the ball slightly to the side, a one-motion shot results in a smoother, more consistent shot that can be replicated. You can shoot immediately without worrying about having your hand perfectly under the ball. Look at Giannis, Griffin, and Westbrook — they have what looks like perfect form, but why do they still miss a lot of shots?

My hand on the side work insanely good for em

Great vid, a double sided arrow would be awesome 😎💯

[iggy]

I’m a split finger shooter I seen his vid on ilbbtv a few years ago now I’m a very consistently good shooter

[briang]

Yeah it's easy to shoot straight if you have big hands but for someone like me with small hands I have to shoot with index, and whenever I shoot with a follow thru it goes left. I've been trying to spread my hand but it only works sometimes and I cant get much arch and end up losing power sometimes.
Sucks being small.

My problem is sometimes, I release it wrong with ring and pinky. I'm trying to correct it but when i play on 1v1 or 5v5 I subconciously release it with that and making it a bad shot

[JaredMcCall]

Also having big hands would help because if you had literal trex hands shooting a full size basketball then it wont go well

[f.b.i]

all depends which position of the ball you're comfortable with. shooters like larry bird, ray allen, steph, don't have this strict positioning.

[axel]

It is very important because some people have some difficult on like to position the hands on ball

[BrandishingWeapons]

Hand can be slightly on the side especially if your shooting index finget

[linedesign]

How do you get more arc in your shot ?

[WillyKillya]

I do middle finger, and when I'm shooting a free throw to calibrate, I make sure my middle finger follows straight through the center rung holding the net on the hoop.
