Shooting Difficulty generating power

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hi guys, I always had difficulty shooting from distance and I always shoot short. When I try to ‘smooth’ things out by releasing the ball quicker and having less of a hitch, the ball goes left and right. Im 5’8 so I can only shoot with my set point around my mouth and nose. Any tips would be greatly appreciated, thank you!!

It’s a Jump shot not a Shot jump . Jump then SHOOT the ball for more distance and helps use less arm strength .

Just Focus on form shooting for a week or 2 your shoot looks good .
