becareful of too much arc, sometimes i shoot with too much arc and the shot ended up going straight to the sky and front rim or completely air ball. even shooting at set shot at the paint. too much or too little are both bad. i always tell myself to remember to shoot slightly forward so the ball can actually reach the rim, instead of going straight up but not forward.
How would one combat too much arc, which can lead to constant short misses, when having shooting elbow higher than your eyes like recommended in the video?
Can you make a video about getting power into your shot? Since I am young but still use a size 7 ball I struggle with getting power into the shot, it feels like I have to lower my set point to my chest or chin to hit a 3 or deep mid range shot. Thanks in advance!
Absolutely, I'll add it to the list. In the meantime, try doing some lower body strength and plyometric work. Power on your shot should come all from your legs. If you don't have enough lower body strength, then the upper body compensates - lowering the set point is one way. I wouldn't worry about range too much yet either. Focus on having really sound mechanics with your set point and release from midrange and as you get older and stronger that range will come naturally. Plus, you'll be more consistent because you'll have gotten more reps with good form than reps where you're just reinforcing poor mechanics. Hope that helps!
@@DZShooting24 Thanks! I have a camp this week so I have been taking your advice. I also feel that when I shoot more fluidly my range can almost extend to the 3 point line. Love your content btw, you cover things most people won't teach!
Why is it, when shooters miss, it is often consistent in where they miss, like it often misses just short. How difficult is it to control distance? I'm guessing it's hard, because you would think if it fell short, you'd compensate by shooting longer. Of course, there's also angle where you are left or right of target. Arc is nice, but the actual line to the basket is important. What do you suggest for those that miss left or right?
Ya great questions and definitely going to address the accuracy part in a future video. I've seen shooters who miss the same way most of the time but I've also seen shooters who miss all over the place. I think missing the same way is kinda a good thing as far as missing goes haha. It shows you're really not far off. Might just be a tweak or two away from being a more consistent shooter. If you're missing all over the place then there's probably multiple things off with your form or you haven't gotten enough reps so you're not shooting the same way every time.
Controlling distance - this actually goes hand in hand with arc. The more arc you have, the more power you need...because if you're shooting more upwards, then you need more power to get the ball a further distance. The less arc you have, the less power you need. This is why when players get tired they tend to shoot the ball more flat than usual. Legs get tired - you don't get as much power as usual - the upper body compensates by shooting the ball more forward so you get the ball to the rim. How difficult is it to control distance? I think it's just all reps. The more reps you get from all over the floor, the more your body learns exactly how much power it needs from every spot
Missing left or right is a little more complicated. It could be a number of things - footwork/alignment to the basket, guide hand interference, positioning of the shooting elbow, the release itself like how the ball is coming off your hand - or a combination of these. I'll definitely address accuracy stuff in videos to come but for now I do talk about some of it in the Kobe breakdown video
why only talk about the upper part of the body for arc, the most important part of getting arc is the by jumping foward on your shot instead of straight up and down, this also gives you more power
You should have too big of an ark too. The shape of the available space for the ball to go through isn't a circle, not even an ellipse, it's and elipse with a circle attached at the top. That's because you will make swishes AND back of the rim shots. If your ark is too high you'll actually lower the possibility of making the shot
i love youu bro literally. went to the court and i literallly could NOT miss at all. Ended up shooting 500 shots and made 411 of them
🧢 come on now
@@Blballerboyit fax I made 7091 shots out of 9201
@@Blballerboy mums soul bro i swear I could not miss. Off the dribble, catch and shoot, 1 2 footwork, everything.
Bro tysm This vid helped a LOT!

Shot looks like curry 😂, tryna get mine like that
Simmons is shooting with the wrong hand deym.

Why would jumping forward get you more arc, explain it to me
@@dusanstankovic6456 theres a video called sweep and sway and it shows many great examples on why
@@roshawnseeny2531 Just get lift the sweep & sway will happen naturally.

the arc of the shot substitutes for power. Infact, I'd encoruage you to even GET a higher arc
you would have a higher possiblity of making contested shots, and redue the risk of your shot getting blocked
No, if you do the math it's a fact that if you have a bigger arc that 50° your shot wont be optimal
