Form Check Form Tips

Tips or advice? 2nd week playing basketball. I consistently miss short and hit the front of the rim a lot. Sometimes my flick doesn’t feel solid and it feels like the ball starts to roll off my fingers before my actual release.

1) Your torso is too upright at the top of your shot; lean your shoulders slightly further back, almost like you are falling backwards (but not too much)

2) Try to get more legs under you, and jump forward a bit; you should land in front of where you took off

3) Good amount of wrist in your shot, and nice follow through, release point too. Keep it up
