  • Hey coach. I have been looking at some of the players in the NBA, like Kevin Durant or Dirk Nowitzki, and i love their arc on the shot. My shot improved about 70% after watching your videos and i want to thank you for that. My question is, i would still like a little higher arc on the shot, but i can't get it unless i don't look at the basket directly. Watching Nowitzki, it seems he is doing the same. So, what should i do? Should i use more leg power or build muscle memory with my current shot?

  • @12345MareMr  You actually can get toooo much arc on your shot and that is not so good because you lose some accuracy. If your arc is at or near where we tell you to be in our video then you are good! If not, you may want to do a better job of connecting your legs to the shot.

  • Coach,, Im 18 and have been playing basketball for 10 years,, but I cant seem to consistently get the same shot over and over.. Do you have a quick tip on how to get a consistent arc on the ball ?? (by the way,, just found out about this channel, and im definetly gonna watch ever video, just in case I can improve !!! appreciate the effort !!)

  • @Leeejon21 Watch this channel and use the videos and you will get better. For the arc we recommend that you use our video "Form Shooting Drill" to work on those elements of your shot to get them down and then to establish the "MUSCLE MEMORY." Use this every day until you feel confident in your mechanics, then come back to it once or twice a week after that.

  • when i use the jumpshot , i can't give to the shoot a good arc , if i shot high with a good arc , the ball doesn't even reach the rim , and i have to shot with a flat arc , and almost always the shot is short . i'm driving crazy with my shot . great videos , i didn't know this channel , and please help me . Sorry for my bad english .

  • @marcoluchi11 On the jump shot it sounds like you are short of the basket. This is typically caused by holding the ball at the top toooo long! Release the ball as yu reach the top of your jump. One way to tell if this is the problem is this: If it feels under-powered then you are holding too long.

  • @DevLynch10 well, we lay out all the logical reasons for you in the video. If you have other ideas, that's fine. Our methods are tried and proven, but this sounds more like a trolling comment anyway...

  • @ShotScience yeah , i feel under-powered sometimes . what do you recommend , in the jumpshot have a high jump or a low one ? for a quick release is better to have a low jump , isn't it ? . On the free throw line I can reach the rim easily , but when i shot in almost 3 pt line is like i don't feel so comfortable with my shot because I have to do a lot of strenght to reach the rim . Thanks for the advice , i hope you answered me again . I'm 19 , by the way .

  • @ShotScience thanks,,, also, does it matter if I practise my shot on all kinds of different baskets ?? because I travel a lot with my current team.. or does it work better with a familliar basket ?? (talking mainly about the 3pt shots and longer)

  • @ShotScience Why did you use a "?" are you asking a question or making a statement o.O

  • @Ph0be What a ridiculous question?
