i do the hand on top of the ball as well. it works perfectly for me and i love it. i turn my feet as well and shoot from my eye. the shot feels effortless

[BoxoutCapalot]

I feel like trae Young’s shot is perfect. I don’t see anything wrong with it

You're 1000% right about the exaggerated elbow tuck man. I had that same problem with ring finger releases and was trying to compensate in all kinds of crazy ways. Then I watched guys like Booker, PG, and Lillard and noticed they load at midline or slightly left which creates a natural elbow flare. Now my releases are waaay cleaner, less sidespin and fewer left right misses.

Trae's way is just another method to avoid that same mistake. Dope content!

I use to be a trash shooter but ever since I watched your vids I became my classes curry

[ployploylimlim]

I put my hand right in the middle and I've improve so much

[h.g.bbasketball]

Dang a program like Captain U? He really is the plug.

[naturalflirt]

I had a coach like that :( 80% free throw shooter till they told me I had to shoot above my head . I was a taller player back in the day as well very disappointing

[leroyglam]

Great video coach. Quick question: how do you shoot turnaround shots with a one-motion, lower-set-point shot?
I think the emphasis shifts to your footwork (e.g. step-backs; step-outs - so you can't watch Jordan, Kobe, D Wade, Kawhi too closely.) Would be great to get your take, though.

What's the point of YouTube Premium if the creator still shoves an ad in the video?

[geraldfombo]

[simplyelite]

I remember a year ago when I was a trash shooter it always looked like it was gonna go in but not be never did until shot mechanic gave 1 tip keep ur arms tucked in I went from a 32% shooter from 3 to 42% and 62% inside the 3 to a 76% drastically improved thank u

Coach, what drills can I do to improve my ball handling?

[hchfhfhdhdhdhdh]

Coach can you do a video on palm rotation I’m trying to nail it like Steph

[jrocken]

His problem is he's not pacing himself like Lonzo ball did. Trae is taking shots he normally takes in collage. Here's the thing, Trae is an extremely good shooter and at the next level it gets harder so he should just take normal regular 3 pointers instead of his usual long contested ones then work his way up to his comfortablity in shooting

[Geri-qbtq]

Where is the new video coming out? And what are you going to show us.Please tell me I'm very curious. Continue with the great content.

[Averagetms]

His shot isn’t the problem it’s his shot selection it’s absolutely terrible

[waelf]

If it your shot its your shot he feel comfortable with his shot and he have workhard to be a great shooter.
