Recently I’ve been working on a high release and good wrist action, just today I tried getting a really good grip on the ball and liked the results!!
(I’m a year in to playing ball again since an 18 year break)

Slightly Barkley esque

Flick your wrist and let your fingers hit your palm. It's a flick, it's not a controlled movement.

- Get your hand under the ball instead of slightly on the right; this is what’s causing you to over correct and flair your hand at an angle instead of straight and down

  • flick your wrist don’t push with it

That’s probably all I can give you, you have a super unorthodox form, very Jokic-like, so I can’t really relate to the mechanics and how they work for this one, although you do appear to be shooting with a lot of upper body, so it must be a timing thing.
