How to Shoot a Basketball Video Series
**********************************************************

In this video, Coach Tom Curtiss explains how to get a RELAXED Finger Finish on your shot. You don't want to flick your wrist, instead you want to have your hand gently "Flop" over the top of your wrist. This will produce a very gentle rotation, which is essential for a soft rebound up with a second chance at going in.

  • i seem to shoot better with one hand for long shots and when i do use both hands it bounces off anything but the net help preez!!!

  • @533937 Please check out our video "ASSIST HAND" for some areas that can create your problem.

  • Hey coach,

    when i release the ball i dont use a open hand release, my index and middle fingers come down and touch my thumb. should i keep my release (i am releasing with the right fingers) should i keep it or change itto the open hand release??. and will it be effective if i practise enough with the way im rcurrently releasing the ball (Index, middle fingers touching the thumb)??

  • @50kEm We teach that we release the ball off the first two fingers and that all fingers of the hand should "Flop Finish " with all fingers pointing toward the floor, or having an open hand with fingers to the floor.

  • I love u guys ur my coach im telling u

  • @ThingsYouWant2C Thanks so much for your comment. We really appreciate it very much. Please "Spread the Word!"

  • @MrVershawn123 Have the thumb pinch the index finger when you shoot and this should help out.
