B.E.E.F - Balance Eyes Elevate Flick


Looking at what we spoke about on Monday in more depth, we find a number of great players with great shots talking about their shooting form. Many of you, myself included, have a shooting form that has been worked on for a number of years; that would now be difficult to fundamentally change. However, there are tweaks we can always work on. I am continually thinking about my baseline jump shot - one we get a lot of open looks at - and the release of that shot, without the use of the backboard.

BALANCE - Gilbert Arenas points out why Lonzo Balls shot is sooooooo bad!!! because his balance and his ball movement through his motion is all wrong - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yT86sfzm5-0

EYES - Steph Curry talks through his BEEF and shows where his eyes are looking... at the front of the rim, at the net hooks... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4U-SmxrPgI

ELEVATE - Ray Allen, the player who has hit more 3's than anyone in his career and averaged 40% over 18 years, says "its all about the lower body" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKuwKwrzZIA

FLICK / FOLLOW THROUGH - Kobe, one of the greatest players ever, talks thro a few techniques including his release- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSqeWUuQSlM

and this video also breaks down which finger the ball is released from... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FV5pvIUDG1g

And here it is ... THE SHOT. Micheal, down by 1, Game 5 of the East Finals, ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5WUOnTxwPw

Do your own searches on youtube (maybe in your own language) and find the best shot releases you can and why your shot may not be perfect. Use each other to film and correct your shooting technique using the HUDL Technique App and help each other into a perfect shot.
