1.Ball on fingertips
2.Elbow under the ball
3.Don't use guide hand
4.Good leg base
5.Hold follow through
Stephen curry arguably the best shooter in the NBA moves his thumb, I think Kyrie Irving does it too.
1:08 I think that's what you were referring to, but instead u said "don't use your guide hand" either way as long as you make those shots keep doing what u do
+Tiara48z that's true but curry also practices it way more than them
+Tiara48z and he uses his thumb enough for it to not to mess up his rotation
+Miles Heckstall gotta
"If you shoot with your thumb you'll never be a consistent shooter "
Ray Allen and Stephen Curry: " relax bro"
Alessandro Melosi kyrie*
Alessandro Melosi What an idiot. Steph and Allen never uses thumb. Watch it in slomo Dumbass
They do though, do your research
@@JasonBrand79 dont speak to this dummy
Rin Hach you’re a fucking dumbass, they do use their thumbs lmao
Thanks a lot recently my shooting went downfall but these drills helped me realize what the problem was, it was my guide hand that was sabotaging the ball trajectory..
Steph curry shots with his thumb. I thought it was a problem because i do it, but steph does it as well, and he is as consistent as anybody.
That is absolutely not true. No great shooters shoot with both hands.
tamicha1 He phrased it a bit badly, steph curry uses the thumb on his off hand to flick the ball. Of course, 99% of the power comes from his right arm, but his left hand also propels the ball a little bit.
tamicha1 ray allen uses his off hand. Its clear in slowmo videos
The guide hand thumb helps curry with accuracy and the slightest amount of power. Kylie used it for power and even Danny green
@@tamicha1 shut up.
“If you shoot with your thumb you will never be a consistent shooter”
Steph curry probably twitched
P3nois III he was talking about your shooting hand not the guide hand
Polotooraw he shows the guide hand you can replay hundred times he is right handed
I love your NBA star
Curry uses his thumb and hes arguably the greatest shooter of all time. It can be tought that way but when you are in the heat of the moment you do what's most comfortable for you.
OMG, yes. Couldn't have said it better.
Not arguably, he is indeed.
@@hueyfreeman1178 couldn’t have said it better myself
Nice video, keep them coming.
Is nice to learn the basic techniques and tips for warm ups and workouts.
I love these videos. I've been practicing these tips. Please keep em coming! Great stuff
I'm a Kentucky all day fan and it's nice seeing John calm
Especially after last season...
Honestly, I don't think it's that big of a deal if the ball is resting on your palm. Stephen Curry does it and the players in this video do it as well. I think the important thing is that you make sure you release it off your fingertips. Let the ball flick or slide off your finger tips as you release.
+Eric Kotter steph curry mentioned in a tips and tricks vid not to shoot when the ball is laying in the palm.
Harrison Pao he mentions that but does it anyway.. there is a video breaking that down.
kyrie shoots with thumb. consistent shooter lol
Michael he practiced his whole life like that its easier to not use thumb
Michael and curry
curry uses thumb too
are u kryie hes talking to the people learning how to shoot idiot
I love your NBA star.
I want to join you
You should've had both of the splash bros on the show :)
Max Breuer lol
I knew it was klay when i saw him
"Im with two of the greatest shooter of the world"
-Ok
"Klay thompson"
-Yeah, he is
"And ryan anderson"
-Wtf who???
In 5 years alot has changed
Ryan had a massive neck injury. But at one point he was a super lethal
Fax
Dog Ryan Anderson can fill it up don’t get it twisted
Dude was a killer. Look him up
This Video was uploaded 6 years ago and I have a regret I haven't watch this before. FUNDAMENTAL!
excellent video! cant wait to start working on my game
"If you shoot with your thumb you will never be a consistent shooter"
Stephen curry : Hold my jump shot
Hold my jumpshot*
Release ball at the top of your full arm extension. Your two fingers next to your thumb, push the ball upward on release. Try to keep ball in your fingers all the way to the top of your release. No flipping the ball. Good shooters aren’t forcing the ball with their hand. Best descriptions of shooting a ball ( Upside down Waterfall). (Dominos falling upward). Use your legs & toes, feet , knees to generate power. On the release you are dropping the ball above the rim into the net.
Thanks for the tip I just learned something new
Follow through. Always expect the ball to go in.
Only clicked because of Coach Cal. Lets go BBN
4 months ago I was going too good and now I do not know what to do and I am not good at 12 years old and helped me a lot (thank you)
The thumb flick is actually an okay thing as long as your percentage goes up
Look at kobe and how he uses his index finger. look at mj and how he uses his index finger. It helps a lot
I agree. If you really want to become a good shooter, you should go over to pro shot
Agreed. Players like Stephen curry and Kevin durant use this middle finger.
***** kobes hands r jst d average size
Dey both hav same height bt MJs got much bigger hands !!
Watch jason kapono shoot,he is the most consistent 3 pt specialist ive ever seen,and he uses his thumb
2 greatest 3 point shooters in the world, klay and RYAN ANDERSON
Kyrie Irving shots with his thumb and Explain how he won the 3 pointer contest
Doesn't mean it is a fundamentally sounded technique.
You Can Make Any Shot Work For You If You Practice Enough
tell me how kyrie s shots are not consistent...
@@timmy480 but having bad mechanics makes it harder to become consistent and you have to practice more
It's just what's comfortable to you, that coach is only gonna broke your shot bro.
My main man Klay Thompson
Hand into basket in follow through
Elbow in
Ball on fingertips
Guide hand keeps ball on line without moving it
Aim for back of rim and adjust from there
Trajectory
As specialist, I do think Spovelax Training Program is good way to improve your skillsWhy don't you give it a chance? perhaps it can work for you too.
IMO it's ok to shoot with your thumb. As long as you shoot mainly with your index and/or middle finger.
Ciao io sono Ella e guardò questi video perché pratico il basket e quindi mi aiuta per migliorare grazie ciao.
A lot of great shooters use the thumb on there guide hand to shoot
Dude your not going to get anywhere in life if you believe what you want to believe
No shit dumbass. I've watched the mechanics of great shooters. A lot use their thumbs..I play division 1 basketball btw at Wagner st. in ny
Flex Forem what does you playing division one basketball have to do with anything about shooting. And what shooters are you talking about
What doesn't it have to do with division 1 basketball you idiot. Strongest part of my game is shooting. Big reason why I made it to D1. Steph curry uses his thumb. Look up vids of him shooting
I will. What I was saying is that anybody can play for a team but not everybody can get in the rotation
I think it's effective using your thumb if you're a right handed running from the left direction and shoot because of your feet position, but if you running from right direction for me the no thumb is effective but that's me.
Thanx Coach I’mma drop 50 points today
Thanks
To those shooting with thumb its ok!!! Many nba players shoot slightly with thumb its not so much about the look of the shot now but rather the release so just worry about getting a fast and quick release
Its not k not every player are good with their thumb u need to understand that. Proper technique equal consistency while Curry is good shooter he is inconsistent that's why Klay has one of the best shooting forms in the nba
Lil Klay Thompson
Klayy😎❤️
My thumb on my guide hand flicks after I release the ball. Does this count?
May I download this video? It's for homework purposes.
HokChing Hon Yeah
Warriors only 💙💛
Check this out, insane half court shot: th-cam.com/video/AOZGf8JHXpc/w-d-xo.html
I would love to post an instructional video with these two as my students. Anyone could look real fucking smart 😂
Who is ryan Anderson?.
kyrie irving shoot with his thumb my cousin shoot with his and they both are good jump shooters
This app is good
WHAT LOL
Bruh I haven't played in 2 year and now I'm doing high school soooo now I need to do sum and I've always lik basket so hopefully this helps
Shooting with tumb is not a problem now is 2019 players like steph and kyrie shoot with their tumb and right now they are one of the best shooter in NBA
Learn English dumb nigga
all these thumb comments, i dont think its necessary for extra power and i wouldnt say steph and kyrie use it its just how it comes out of there guide hands. i'd say power comes from the legs, using your legs to shoot as klay was saying. a good shot feels effortless or soft out of the hands not 'pushed' but 'released'
I would say finger pads is more accurate than finger tips....just in case you're teaching youngsters who take you too literally. :)
Biggie cheese approves of this video 👍
Kyrie irving shoots with his thumb and he's a good shooter
He doesn't really, it's just a habit. He moves his thumb after the ball has released.
Damn, Klay and those Flyknit Chukkas...
1:13 if you shoot with your thumb you will NEVER be a consistent shooter
Steph curry , Ray Allen , Kyrie Irving: dude relax
Me with my small hands struggling to balance the ball on my finger tips:
I have to use my thumb or else it won't be enough power to get it in but I usually get it in
"If you get Carmelo to help you with this you'd become a spot up prescision shooter in no time" - 💀
Reading the comment column, i think many people didn't realize that this video was from 2014...
When U.S.A Team has the worst team saying
Ryan Is the best shooter
Klay: *Stephen curry*
0:52 i thought they both bricked that shot hahhahahahahaahah i was like wtfff
What coaches don’t tell you:
YOU SHOULDNT HAVE A GAP AND YOU SHOULD SHOOT WITH YOUR PALM (your whole hand on the basketball)
Ball RISES first, THEN BODY RISES
I'm sorry but for all the Steph curry haters you can't deny that he is a great shooter and at least should be on this video
Wat about kyrie he uses the thumb?
Kyrie is god he can do what he wants
Kenrick Smith How come he can't get to the play-offs then? Jokes he's a good player though.
Sarib1234567890 interesting points ,if anyone else needs to find out about basketball tips try *Pyzork Basketball Professor* (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my partner got cool success with it.
zia rahman No rings or playoff experience lmfao
This helped me bc I would miss bc my other hand
Bruh, its ok use ur thumb just dont over use it
What shoes are Klay Wearing?
The Im never making a three 7s
+Ovo x #frankblock and a few months later he wins a three point contest
People at my school call me Ryan anderson
cool story bro
No one cares dude
It helped a lot but when i shoot I can't put enough strength.. :/ sorry for my grammars. P.S Klay Thompson rocks !!
Use a medicine ball to strengthen your wirst and forearms and do a lot of push ups
I've been shooting with my palm
play thompson like👁👄👁
Anyone know what kicks Klay has here???????
+MrDikembeMutombo 2:02
He's wearing NIKE LUNAR FLYKNIT CHUKKA. I have 2 pair. Its not a basketball shoe but light and comfortable training shoe for foot and ankle strengthening. sneakerbardetroit.com/tag/nike-chukka/
so my guide hand was the problem thanks
Curry uses a thumb flick
Is this a 1st grade sports lesson vid
steph curry don't use his thumb. it's just a follow through of his guide hand. i watch slow mo of curry's hand when he shoots. the thumb moves, yeah, but that doesn't mean it releases force as well. just a motion of his guide hand..
+charles xavier Yea, I've watched Stephen Curry slow motion videos as well, and I've watched the guide hand thumb. He doesn't bend it till slightly after the release, so he's not really using it in the force of the shot at all. It's just a follow through motion.
thats good
Wait RYAN ANDERSON is it he a monster jam driver
What about curry with his left thumb
Dear Coach Cal,
KYRIE IRVING USES HIS THUMB
WATCH HIM SHOOT ITS ALWAYS THERE
Jesus loves you guys 😄
Ryan Anderson?
What about steph?
Steph uses his thumb tho
K Dazee Explains why Klay is more consistent
Klay is more consistent because he has the proper mechanics
Kyrie shoots with a bit of thumb
“If you shoot it with your thumb, you will never be a consistent shooter” bruh look at curry best shooter ever.
Klay got a better form tho
@@woketv781 I’ll give you that one
Damn im trying to learn how to shoot but i dont really like kentucky lol
stephen curry shoots with his thumb and he’s a consistent shooter, you’re wrong lmao
Excemptions to the rule vs fundamental
Chris Paul thumb flick
It's all about preference and comfort, fundamentals are important but don't let it be an excuse for you to totally change your form. Minor tweaks may be enough.
Rip english
Yo coach are you a better shooter than Steph?
He has a thumb flick
Not gonna lie he sound like Phil Swift
'If you shoot with your thump you will never be a consistent shooter'
-Steph fuckin Curry laughing at you
Kyrie is a great palm shooter and steph uses his thumb
Curry, Kyrie and Ray Allen use the thumb flicl
Why isn't Steph in here?
they chose the players who don’t use thumb flick
Klay looks like he just wants to go home
2:1 where you at
Steph has a thumb flick on his guide hand lol
Did you ever watched Curry, i mean he uses his thumb to shoot.
What? He uses all four fingers. the thing is He turns his feet and has a different landing every time but he gets away with that
+Nedeljko Zdero Yea, I've watched Stephen Curry slow motion videos as well, and I've watched the guide hand thumb. He doesn't bend it till slightly after the release, so he's not really using it in the force of the shot at all. It's just a follow through motion.
ryno 👍👍👍
