I read your article on your site entitled "you have a relaxed wrist and hand but are you really pushing the ball" And I think I have this problem as well. During the setting process, is it ok to bring the ball back towards your head, but not so much that it will hit your face, or I shouldnt be bringing the ball back at all?

Noobykins, I just want to share with you new knowledge that me and my brother have come to realize. In terms of setting, alignment, etc, they don't really even matter to a degree. What really matters is keeping your pushing release CONSTANT and THE SAME, all the time. That's the secret my friend. After studying from Paul Chek, HHP, about golf biomechanics, I can relate this to putting a golf ball while keeping the swing consistent and just powering by rotating: it's more accurate.

Cont'd:....You will notice if you are aware, that you MUST power the rest of your shot using your leg drive. If not, you'll compromise your release by using your wrist, fingers for power or push harder with more force. Focus on having the same push with consistent force. I know this may be a lot to grasp now, but I must tell it like it is. My brother is able to make 5-6 3 pointers easily in a row during games doing this, and I am on following. Good luck Noobykins.

@TheShootersTouch Thanks for the update, regarding grip, Tom updated his trouble shooting pdf on his site and was recommending having the off hand grip more under the ball for enhanced inertia purposes. As well as shooting off the dribble where he recommends us to dip the ball-- I guess which relates to your unwinding on the legs which also helped. Anyways with the off-hand grip, is it the same grip as the shooting hand (palm not touching) or is it ok to use the palm with the off hand? Thanks.

@Noobykins

It really doesn't matter to us, as long as it is comfortable. Make sure to align the ball with the shooting eye plane and open up your stance to make your release more repeatable.

What if conventional wisdom regarding shooting form was flawed in the first place?

@TheShootersTouch But what works for u is not gonna work for everyone, in fact its not gonna work for the majority of people. That why if you teach fundamentals along with your tips, nearly every1 will see improvement. If its just you shooting i wouldn't care but your teaching kids and ur teaching them the wrong way

My brother and I are just sharing what has worked for us and other students that coach Tom Nordland has been able share with. All are videos and advice have, moreso, been discoveries. Try it out yourself; it may or may not work for you.

are good shooters. I like that ur teaching kids to be more free and comfortable about their shot, but they will not get success without proper fundamentals. Honestly, idk how you do it you must have some kind of talent
