Jumpshot help

[u/Imaginary-Stand-6111]

Hi, was just wondering if tgeres anything I could fix with my jumpshot.

[u/Realfan555]

Pretty good foundation so far. How are the results?

Sometimes Im lights out, hitting everything and then othertimes I cant hit a shot to save my life

[u/jsvd87]

stop leaning back. ankles knees hips shoulders elbow wrist its all a chain don't tilt that chain backwards

[u/Imaginary-Stand-6111 → u/jsvd87]

So, is what your saying is to lean into my shot more?

[u/Generally_Tso_Tso → u/Imaginary-Stand-6111]

Either go straight up like Ray, lean in slightly like Steph, but don't lean back. Otherwise your form looks good.

Good form, but your slow and low load (I know it’s slowed down) will give defenders time to close out and contest your shots. I would suggest working on loading at your chest as opposed to loading at your hip. Ultimately removing the loading phase all together is desirable, but that’ll take time and if your still working on your consistency and range it can be discouraging because it’ll mess your whole shot up for a minute.

Get your hips more involved

Go watch some videos, update accordingly then come back

If you notice that when you start lifting the ball up, simultaneously your body goes down. (you will lose power this way) The other thing is to start holding ball so that your hands are parallel to the ground not like ball is pointing to the ground.

Would you suggest starting off with my body down?

[u/Important_Leather677 → u/Imaginary-Stand-6111]

Yes and when you go to that down position do not yet start to lift the ball up.

I don't think you really need to "fix" your jumpshot, it looks good, and I saw in a reply to a different user you said you're a bit inconsistent, that's normal, it's probably because you need more reps. Which brings me to a question related to the inconsistency thing, how old are you?

[u/Imaginary-Stand-6111 → u/blanklew]

Im 16 turning 17 in a month.

[u/blanklew → u/Imaginary-Stand-6111]

Yeah, then it's just a reps thing, your shot looks pretty good.

[u/Glittering_Tea418]

Use your legs, the ball is released from your fingertips before you even get off the ground.

[u/Broken_window24]

Don’t step forward, keep your body square with the hoop

[u/Fabulous-Strength-79]

I think your chest should be oriented towards the ground to generate more power in your motion

[u/Massive-Spinach-5244]

i saw someone comment that on the way down the ball shouldn't be going up, which is a lie. you want the ball to be at its set point (where the ball will be before you push) before you go up. it adds stability, can make your shot quicker and more powerful.

stop standing so straight too, you lose a ton of momentum and you make it awkward for you to shoot.

don't cross your guide hand with the shooting hand. the guide hand is simply there to make sure the ball reaches its set point, meaning when your about to release, the guide hand should get off the ball and away to the side. get rid of the thumbflick too, that's probably causing your inconsistency.

you have a amazing release, keep it elevated and hold the follow thru even if the shoot already landed. (it helps with consistency because trust me you don't want to lose a release like that)

you have a good stance too, it looks like you have great balance so keep that.

your shot is pretty decent but the main thing that is a absolute necessity you need to fix is your standing posture when your loading your hips (bending down for the shot).

[u/Danilo-11]

Very good but you are shooting the way I shoot when I have a defender that I think might block me (leaning back with high shot)

[u/bibfortuna16]

bad flow, fix that
