    This is genuinely better than any other how to shoot bideo I've ever seen. It feels abstract sometimes when someone just spurts out information, rather than this down to earth approach. Also I've been through so many of the scenarios you talked about

    • @themidrange

      I really appreciate that. I agree, it can get extremely over whelming with people giving information overload. I've found in my experience that players generally shoot the way they're going to shoot and it's much easier to ruin a shot than make one better.

    • @themidrange
      @themidrange  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Much appreciated! One way I like to readjust or self check, is to just shoot the ball to myself or just shoot it into the air and watch the spin. Just repping the feeling out until I'm happy with the spin and release. Then trying to do that on the baskwt.
      Another way I help players I coach is to just record them shooting like 20 shots. Then letting them watch it back so they can realize which finger they shoot with.

    I feel like when I shoot I don’t have enough power to shoot from deep but when I shoot as hard as I can it goes too hard and I just can’t shoot threes

    • @themidrange
      @themidrange  หลายเดือนก่อน

      That's ok, it's just touch and rhythm in your mechanics. I would just shoot the majority of my shots from the distance you're comfortable, then go shoot like 5 or 10 from deep. Then back to where you're comfortable, just mix it in slowly until your mechanics start to feel more similar and you build up the strength and muscle memory. Don't want to practice a ton from deep right away if you're having to overhaul your shot.

    • @themidrange
      @themidrange  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Good luck mate and hope it goes well. I will try and get some out as soon as I can. One big thing to remember for tryouts is to always be available for an "example" and try to constantly be positive and have a good attitude. At that age if you are involved and always cheering on other players that's a huge bonus.
      For drills, you really want to be confident handling pressure and making open shots. Try some stationary 2 ball dribbling drills if you can find them, and then just rep your shot. Being in shape will help too. Going for a 5-10 minute run every day to help be prepared.

    i think you helped me like understand my issue i need shooting cues but i have question is it possible to ever be a never miss shooter or no because thats what im trying to become a shooter that never misses but idk if that is possible im not talking about like curry because even he misses i mean like 85+ shooting percentage like if they dont block me it is going in type shooting yk ngl bro you speak facts without wasting my time like you telling me things that are actually worth learning and not just things that will end up creating bad habits or just wasting my time/making no difference

    • @themidrange
      @themidrange  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Much appreciated mate. The beauty of the game is that chase for "perfection" or to become a "never miss" shooter. It is impossible but by trying to chase that goal, you might become a player that shoots at a crazy high percent. Aim for the stars so if you fail you'll still end up in the clouds.
      Then you will definitely have those days where you actually can't miss and that's what the grind is for. Those small moments of perfection. Curry in the Olympics etc...

    • @themidrange
      @themidrange  หลายเดือนก่อน

      There's no real right or wrong answer. It's moreso you knowing which fingers feel more comfortable and which have more control for you. Then you want to just replicate that as much as possible. If it's coming off of your pinky then you're likely not getting your elbow under the ball and pushing up, you're probably pushing sideways if that makes sense.

    • @themidrange
      @themidrange  หลายเดือนก่อน

      That's a normal feeling. The best thing to do is build confidence in your form by having some success. That's why reps are so important. Your form is likely not THAT bad, but it's nearly impossible to build confidence and muscle memory if you keep changing things. I would go 1 month at least of trying to improve on my current shot before even considering changing anything. Sometimes videoing yourself is a good way to stay on target.

      @themidrange  หลายเดือนก่อน

      No problem, it's tough to diagnose without seeing your shot. But usually shooting straight is easiest when your toe, knee, elbow and ball are in line or fairly close anyways. If you're doing that then you're likely using your off hand too much, could be either of those.

    Hi, thank you for your videos, this one helped me a lot actually. I just like to have your opinion on this question, from when I Cath the ball to the set point, should I keep the same angle with my shooting arm (the famous 90° or less) until I reach my set point, or should I let it go freely ? Hope my question is clear enough, thank you in advance and wish you good fortune.

    • @themidrange
      @themidrange  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      It depends on what feels comfortable to you. 90 degrees is more a suggestion than a hard rule. Might be worth recording yourself trying both ways, finding out which one feels better, then just making sure you're consistent by replicating it each time.

    • @themidrange
      @themidrange  20 วันที่ผ่านมา

      If youre consistently shooting straight I'd say you probably just need more reps. Also, depends on the distance but sounds like you're struggling timing your legs and arms with the release. Again, reps fixes this but also reps at specific distances, rather than shooting from all over.

      Both. Static shots are great for building repetition and consistency and focusing on the form. Motion shots will help you translate that to game type shots. Then doing motion shots against a live defense would be the next step. 1 on 1 etc...

    • @themidrange
      @themidrange  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Ya energy transfer is really a timing thing, just gotta rep it out until it becomes second nature and knowing that distance changes the timing slightly.
      The release should be what feels most comfortable, mine is above my head but some people prefer by the eye.
      My form slightly changes the further I go out so I had to develop a set shot for really deep shots and then my jumpshot for more quick release situations or mid range.

      @@gazzilionfn112 It's completely up to you and what you described is very natural. I sometimes like to sprinkle in a few shots every workout from the distance where im uncomfortable, for example: if Im really working on mid range and shooting like 100 of those, ill then go shoot like 10 threes. Then Ill go back and shoot more midrange. Then eventually threes feel more normal and you do the same thing there, shoot about 100 threes and then shoot 10 from a step further back.

      No problem at all. Yes ideally you want the ball to have a tiny gap away from the palm but there are tons of times when I'm shooting and I don't get it there. When that happens I focus more on the release and which finger it leaves.
      Try to keep the ball off the palm when you're just shooting by yourself and build up that habit. But when it comes to playing and live situations don't worry about it.

      That's generally coming from the legs and snapping the wrist. Trying to get those to work together to transfer the power is tough. But if you're not strong enough it's ok to start closer and just grind out shots to get stronger. Then each week or every few days move back a tiny bit.

    • @themidrange
      @themidrange  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      If youre effective shooting the way you shoot now it's probably not worth changing but I'd ask a couple things.
      Some people are right handed but they are left eye dominant, meaning that you actually aim with your left eye. That causes people to move the ball closer to that eye at times which may be the case for you.
      Secondly, elbow under the ball is just 'generally' under the ball, doesn't have to be 90 degrees. Most people shoot with their elbow bowed out a tiny bit so as long as you can hold the ball with one hand and it's not rolling off to the side you're probably far enough under.

      @themidrange 2 completely different shots so I can't look at them the same. Curry shoots from his hip like tre. Everyone else that's over 6'4 shoots has a better mid range game. People who think have the best form that are still playing would be KD, tatum or brown, demar, Ingram, ant, booker. All have better midrange fundamentals than curry in my opinion. I wish I could get a make miss chart like 2k to show this. He struggles when he doesn't have momentum with the ball or when he doesn't have a screen. And by struggle I mean he's not as good, but still crazy talented. Mid range shot I would take demar from 3 years ago over almost anyone still playing. Living in Chicago I've seen every game he's played in and he would absolutely make curry look like a child 1v1 inside the arc.
