TARGET FOR SHOOTING! -- Aim for the NEST -- How to Shoot a Basketball -- Shot Science

Watch our NEWER videos HERE: http://www.youtube.com/ShotScience


Have you ever wondered what target to aim for when you are shooting a basketball?


In this video, Coach Tom discusses how to properly aim your shot towards the basket and greatly increase your accuracy. We hope to illustrate that aiming for specific targets on the rim will only hurt your shooting, while softening your focus to the entire diameter of the rim will provide you with a much higher margin for error. Also, your main objective is to put the ball through the rim, so why would you aim for areas that will almost certainly yield consistent misses.

If you're struggling with where to aim, try our suggestion for a target and let us know how it works for you. We know there are many approaches out there (successful for some), but we think this is a great approach for locking in your shooting eye.

Is that we only have to feel it instead of aiming?

[ShotScience]

@CYLok98 Feeling it is good, but we need to know where to place the ball.

[TheTallSmall]

hey coach, can you tell how to practise shooting further away from the rim? I have a hard time shooting from mid-3pt range

[ShotScience]

@TheTallSmall Review our video "Form Shooting Drill" for how to work on this.  There are several drills mentioned there to lengthen your shots.

[bishopjake64]

I lawld when they actually shot the ball into the nest

[ShotScience]

@bishopjake64 hahaha! Good!

[xXPikachiuXx]

omg this helps a lot! ty so much shotscience, i got much better at shooting from this video

[morvsi]

nööööt nööööt :D

[timothychong48]

Hell Yeah! I thought I was being weird because my previous coach told me to aim for the square behind the rim, but I find better results if I aimed for the net. Finally, some experts actually approve! Thanks!

[TheAl3xcastillo]

can you help when i shoot most of the time it hits the back rim?
