@DaGooniezOfficial Range comes from rhythm rather than strength. Rhythm gives you range. Rhythm comes from the down-and-up action of your legs. Start with your knees slightly flexed and then use the down-and up action of your legs. As your legs go up your shooting arm goes up. They work together. Three point shots require the down-and-up motion of your legs with more force from your legs, back, and shoulders, and a complete follow-through.

@shane19961028 Your toes should be straight and knees slightly flexed. Start with you shooting hand set high (between your ear and shoulder) and facing the front of the basket. Direct your arm, wrist, and fingers straight toward the basket at a 45- to 60-degree angle. Keep your ollow-through straight up until the ball reaches the net. Keeping your follow-through up is not only good mechanics, but also makes you look and act like a shooter and increases confidence.

@301Trees Rhythm and 3 point range come from the down-and-up motion of your legs. As your legs go up, your arm goes up. As your legs reach full extension, your back, shoulders, and shooting arm extend in a smooth, continuous upward direction. Use the down-and-up motion of your legs rather than lowering the ball for rhythm. Start your shot high for a quick release and less chance for error. Hold follow-through until the ball reaches the net. Also, incorrect mechanics will limit range.

@krusta97 It may be that you are not in physical condition. As fatique sets in skils diminish.

@monkeysmeller110 Regarding spinning the ball too much, do not force the spin. Release the ball off the pads of your index finger which will naturally lead to back spin and a soft touch. Shots that miss short are mostly due to not using your legs in a down and up rhythm, a slow or inconsistent rhythm or not holding your follow-through up until the ball reaches the net. Review Shot is Short on my new Correcting Shooting Errors video clip on our Basketball World website.

@jdm305em1 Keeping your shooting elbow in, aligns the ball with the basket. Some players do not have the flexibility to place the shooting hand facing the basket while keeping the elbow in. In this case, the shooting hand facing front takes preference over the elbow in. First place the shooting hand facing the basket, then move the elbow in as far as your flexibility allows.

@Strangewind017 Correct the error of thumbing with your non-shooting thumb causing sidespin by squeezing the thumb next to the index finger. If you are right handed your shots will tend to miss to the left due to not getting help from your weak hand. Correct this by using the trigger word "Straight" to follow through straight toward the target.

@shawnpea25 Set the ball high between your ear and shoulder with your shooting hand facing the front of the rim. Use a relaxed hand position (like a handshake) to form a natural cup, enabling the ball to be released off the pads of your index finger and not your palm. This leads to a soft touch and and backspin. Followthrough with your shooting hand going straight toward the target.
