How to increase your layup percentage: 1. lay the ball up high (top corner of the white box) 2. get even higher than that (softer touch) 3. get some spin on the ball - chest toward the wall - rotate thumb - shoulder rotated away - rotate pinky Thanks Coach Collin!
Hi, I got a question. I'm playing basketball (just for fun in ours playground here in Italy, surely I will never be a NBA star, but still..) since a couple of months, almost every day an hour or 2 a day. My jumpshot is improved significantly since, but I'm really struggling with layups. When you say "rotate thumb/pinky" where do I want to rotate? Towards the basket or towards the outside? I forgot to mention I'm a right handed. Especially for a finger roll or a lay-in.. Tysm so much for your answer, and I beg your pardon for my bad English.
just the fact that you were able to identify this tips essential to ballers makes me believe that you really know basketball, i hope you get more recognition, thank you, coach C!
This really helped a lot, especially on the part on how to spin the ball the right way, and where I should aim at on layups, ty so much, Im a defender and I usually come up with a lot of steals and I would get nervous on the fast break sometimes and just miss the layup
Im starting basketball in September and i am actual dog water at layups so hopefully this will help Hello this is future me speaking here it did… it helped a lot
Hi i just wanna say that you have helped me alot after 2 years of watching ur tutorial vids i became a pro a basketball and my dad is so impressed of me and alot of other people and my family thank u so much❤️
I have been trying to fix my niece’s layup for years and this is the first time I heard of the thumb spin or pinky spin🤯 this might be the key I needed. Thank u. Every bit of knowledge helps. I ❤️ fundamentals.
Hey! Can u please make a video of how to finish soft off the glass?! One of the biggest issues with my layups is that I throw the ball up off the backboard too strong(unintentionally), thanks!
@@roninbtw on your last two steps you need to slow down and focus on the top right square. what helps me is i do a move before i lay up the ball. avoid scoop lay ups & finish soft
Aye coach i have a question how do u get rotation on your shot if u have small hands? Cause like I can shoot alright but I can’t get the ball the rotation backwards enough to make it have a better chance at going in. PLEASE HELP
Recently my layups have been too strong off the backboard, and Ive been using the same mechanics I always do, this wasn’t happening before. Even when I reduce my power of the layups, it’s still too strong 😭.
If ur layups are too strong just put the ball lower on the glass I unconsciously shoot my layups stronger when I have defenders around me or jumping to block me but a way I can get the ball from not bouncing off the backboard over the hoop is aiming my layups right inside the lower middle of the box it just bounces right in similar to how if you shoot and the ball hits the backboard you’re able to bank the shot
You need to flick the ball up when you're going for a layup. If it is going to strong, you are throwing the ball at the backboard which will make it bounce back
Aim for the square in the backboard, go full speed, and push the ball into the square, dont throw it, dont lightly tap it, push it and dont make it too strong
thanks coach for this video im a huge fan your videos help me a lot its sad that i dont have shoes for our school varsity team so i cant play but its ok i salute to your videos coach :>
Idk sumtimes when i layup it bounces off the backboard, idk maybe because idk how to control my strength doin layups or i just dont got dat soft touch yet, im more of a shooter than a finisher
I’ve increased my layup percentage from 99.8% to 99.9%. Thank you.
Lol
Always good to improve even if its by 0.1
I've improves form 1% to 20%
same
I improved from 80 percent to 98 percent
How to increase your layup percentage:
1. lay the ball up high (top corner of the white box)
2. get even higher than that (softer touch)
3. get some spin on the ball
- chest toward the wall - rotate thumb
- shoulder rotated away - rotate pinky

Try to let it roll off your fingers

@@kiahisme thanks bro will try this
Great vid!
Appreciate the feedback!
Thx dude
Thanks for watching!
I love it sirr💕 thank you for the video More blessing to come sir! Keep it up
If u can't make a layup u don't get the chance to shoot
PREACH!
I make more 3s than layups. To be fair, though, I don't attempt many layups 😂
@@DonDeLem true spot up shooters rarely go to the rim but you do need the skill especially in transition
Facts
Nah I'm a shooter

So good to repeat that stuff all the time. When it’s clutch time or pressure situations you always forgot the fundamentals..
Your awesome!

How do you make layups while going full speed tho.
Slow down.
@@breatheeasily4013 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Aim for the square in the backboard, go full speed, and push the ball into the square, dont throw it, dont lightly tap it, push it and dont make it too strong
@@un_common1483 I think your comment helped. Thanks man. Im gonna go try it on the court.
Keep a little speed but slow down your wrist a lil bit

How do I make the ball spin on the board, I always miss layups because my ball doesn't get enough spin on the board
saladin hariye all about that wrist rotation!

Canal muito top, só falta legendar em português hehe!

basketball is the best
Not always.
Baseline drive from the right side, reverse layup, using left hand. Chest opposite wall, but left hand thumb twists to the basket..
Lol I’m definitely gonna use this in game
Queens Hdtv go get some buckets with it!
Thanks coach. I’m gonna keep putting work into it
Coach, when I hit the board with the ball higher, the ball bounces too much and doesn't get into the ring. How can i fix that?
Karu - kun are joking or being serious
Slow down ur movement right before the layup. That's the secret
Thanks, and btw im serious
Karu - kun bruh hit it softer on the backboard lol
Its hard lol, especially when you're 5'7 and a teenager
0:10 what a music?
Idk sumtimes when i layup it bounces off the backboard, idk maybe because idk how to control my strength doin layups or i just dont got dat soft touch yet, im more of a shooter than a finisher
Control your arm power, try jumping as smooth and high as possible so you can litterly shove the ball in the net, works pretty well for me
Coax people make fun of my jumpshot form what should I do
wow
I miss every wide open layup i hope this works
The top corner he said right?
Ben Simmons should be watching this
Pov you watched this after you missed a open layup
Omg this helped so much i aimed for the middle of the square the whole time
Hey! Whenever I use your shooting techniques like tilting the feet, bringing the feet forward , my coach always scolds me.
Any solutions??
Plz..
get a better coach
I'm saying
The wide open layup is the hardest
