what are your thoughts on steph’s hand placement before releasing the ball? his are placed diagonally with the ball on the way up and only straightens up on the release
It depends a little on the shot, more relaxed/ effortless shots it'll feel like the ball is more smoothly rolling off your fingers as your not trying to generate a ton of power. Vs a deeper shot or a fadeaway may require more of a flick!
Hi coach. Whats the reason that my shot kind of rolls of the the side of my index finger (left side) when shooting even tho i have a split finger release and no chicken wing and a straight release? For some reason it just sometimes kind of like slips of instead of releasing with both index and middle finger.
@@matranko3061 nah, but do you have the hand below the ball at the setpoint, before releasing the ball. You can load the wrist but if you release it early it doesn't matter.
Great video. I recently switched my off hand to more on top of the ball like a latch release & it helps a ton. Can you guys go over finishing off of two feet more? I struggle through contact because I mostly go off of one
Off hand positioning can make a huge difference in our shot. Proper spacing can really make our hands feel more secure but relaxed at the same time. Glad to hear that this works for you.
@@maxdodgers there are a lot of trainers emphasizing shin angles, which I’m not critiquing. I’m critiquing teaching getting low by the shin angle, as if that is going to automatically cause low to happen.
@@maxdodgers lmao u must be crazy. impossibletraining has been doing it for years and many more. alot of trainers are actually copying from them. gooddrills is fairly new bro it only started to blow up on instagram and tiktok last 2-3 years.
The real takeaway here seems to be that there is a power-control tradeoff associated with putting the ball more on the palm (greater power) vs. putting the ball more on the fingers (more control). There may be an optimal balance between the two, but perhaps the best thing is to use the right shooting mechanics in the right context. Maybe you can get away with less power shooting mid to close range while you should tilt more toward power when you shoot from deep? Thoughts?
Idea: "rules" for shooting might develop because each individual rule is a common optimal solution for the average body type, but that doesn't mean that the combination of all the rules is ever optimal for any real player. Imagine that each player has a body that justifies them deviating from at least one rule. This would lead to a world where each rule feels justified on average, but forcing people to follow all of them is guaranteed to fail.
Please make a video where you delve deeper into this subject.I don't see any videos about this on RU-vid.Thank you sir your content is always better than the competitive
