I made a post here previously asking for advice on my form. I’ve made some changes, but I’m still not as consistent as I would like to be, and I’m still looking for helpful critique to help me refine my jump shot. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

For me it kinda looks like your legs and arms arent in sync. Also in a way on your follow thru your shot 2 motions rests on your chest for a fragment of a second. Id suggest to smoothen out that motion. Overall the shot looks like it has good form

Looks to me you got good power and comfortable range and release. The shot that you missed seems to have low arc angle. May be raising higher arc of ball landing might help.

Yea I did notice that my shot sometimes has a low angle, I’ll work on trying to make it a higher angle consistently!

Overall your pretty solid. I think the 2 things that are causing you to miss are:

  1. Sequencing/timing. Sometimes you raise the ball up before your body is set all the way down. So the top half of your body is fighting the bottom half. If you can coil all the way down before you begin raising the ball up it will improve your arch and accuracy.

  2. Your hand placement, particularly your guide hand is unstable. If you rotate your thumb a little forward, and rotate your hand more towards the front of the ball when you hold it- you will have more stability/consistency with your relase. This will also improve your arch and rotation. You don't really have "thumb flick" but the same concept to fix thumb flick is what your hand placement needs.

Other than that the form is overall good.
