www.proshotsystem.com We take a look at different types of angels and how much the feet should be turned. We also focus on shooting alignment here as well.
i just came back from a 4hour shooting session using the turn , the dip , the sweep and sway, and i torched the net over and over again!! i used to be a two motion shooter with bad percentages, and now i'm shooting much better thanks to you just thank you
This is such an essential shooting fundamental, and I played D-3, coached high school for 15 years, constantly attended clinics and purchased books and videos, and this was never covered. That's totally insane! Thanks, Coach Hoover.
jason terry and monta ellis are two players who love to pull up going to the right and theyre great at it not so much going left, just noticed. great video
This is a great vid. Really helps. But once you get the basics down you really need to make your shot your own and go with what feels best to you. Also love the Pink Floyd Comfortably Numb instrumental background.
Good video, thank you. There is a lot there but I would like to add a little bit of detail to some of these points. First, it is all about what Lebron James said. It is about getting the shooting elbow comfortably and naturally lined up with the hoop. To accomplish that, your upper body should be aligned open. If your feet are not pointing to the left when you jump, it is OK. Friction from the floor keeps them from turning on the floor but when your feet leave the floor, that friction is gone and your feet naturally turn to align with your upper body. I am clarifying this because the last thing you want to do is to try to turn in the air. That is extra motion that will throw your shot off line. Your feet naturally turn so don't worry about MAKING them turn when they leave the floor. The main thing is keep your elbow lined up comfortably with the hoop before you jump and swing your elbows straight up so your shooting elbow stays aligned with the hoop from start to finish. That simple motion helps keep the ball balanced in your hand and keeps you from turning in the air. I will also say there are three things you can do to keep your elbow lined up comfortably with the hoop from start to finish. First, simply don't let your elbow stick out like a chicken wing before you jump. If it sticks out before you jump, it will stick out as you shoot. Let it brush your side. Second, open your feet a little bit as this video says. How much is up to you - whatever you feel comfortable with. Some great shooters like Andrew Toney - did not open them at all. Some like Larry Bird opened them a lot. Third - and this is very subtle - dip your shooting shoulder just a little before you jump. Keep your chest up so you are not slouched over. Doing that brings your upper arm (shoulder to elbow) in line with the hoop so your elbow swings up in line with the hoop. Great shooters combine these three things differently but they tend to do all three to varying degrees. There were some excellent points about angles going left versus going right. Many right handed players feel more comfortable going left for exactly the reason the video explains. But there is a very subtle trick to going right that can make it a lot easier and more natural to turn. First, when you go left, you set your right foot on the floor, dip your right shoulder, swing your left foot around and jump straight up. The key is the direction you point your right foot (pivot foot) when you set it on the floor. It is natural to point it in the same direction you are moving. This is the direction your entire body will follow and since it is already pointed left, your body doesn't need to turn get aligned properly. That is not the case when you go right - your body needs to turn a lot more. So the trick to going right is to set your left foot (pivot foot) on the floor pointed toward the hoop, or as far inward as you can, rather than setting it down pointed right, which is the direction you are moving. Turning your pivot foot inward in this situation greatly facilitates turning your body because your body naturally follows the direction your lead foot points. The other difference is the timing of when you dip your shoulder. When you go left, you dip your right shoulder before you set your left foot down. When you go right, you dip your right shoulder at the same time you set your trail foot down. Also, to avoid over-pivoting when going right it may be natural to set your trail foot down behind your pivot foot rather than setting both feet down equidistant from the hoop. You can also over pivot going left but less likely since you don't need to turn as much. You don't have to have both feet even with each other. one can be slightly behind the other. Many videos talk about having a single configuration but that is nonsense. Your feet position will vary all over the place depending on the situation and the key is to set them however you need to to stay balanced and jump strong. Anyway I could talk all day about these thins so I will end it here. Good video, thanks.
+Pro Shot Shooting System Coach I have a hard time turning in the air as you say, when I do it my shot does go in a lot more but it feels as if im swinging my body around, how can i make this motion more relaxed, subtle and natural/less robotic?
Hey Coach, I´m having a bit of a struggle with the one-eyed shooting and I´m not sure if I´m doing it/doing it right? Could I please send you video footage you could break down for me?
Thank god, i hate conventional square up shooting always felt forced and hurts my shoulder, I will shoot like this now and will let you know how it goes!
+Pro Shot Shooting System Coach, how can Curry and Harden have a lot of range even jumping little as they do? I can hit a lot of 3's thanks to your Shooting System, but when shooting 3's(I'm from Brazil, so the line is closer than the nba) i have to jump a lot to don't get it short. My Jump shot looks a lot like Kyle Korver in this part, but i'm undersized at my position, and jumping that much is hurting me in game situations. I'm what you call 1.5 motion shooter, so i don't jump much but i have to sweep A LOT my feet. Thanks for the attention, Just love your channel and i'm getting everyday closer my goals...and sorry for the terrible english!
it doesnt really matter how low because the ball is still going to release at the same spot but your just getting more power and kevin martin doesnt shoot right infront of his face edit: after looking at kevin martins form he shoots from the left side of his body at eyebrow level, just further away from the face than most shooters
I have a question, when you shoot and turn do you twist your hip to get the alignment(hip, shoulder, and release) or what? When you jump forward what do you do to get that hip, shoulder, and release alignment?
Hey coach love the videos, i look up to nick young's (swaggy p's) jumpshot. In my mind it looks like it has all of the necessary mechanics for proshot. Should I try to model my jumper after him or not. And if not then who should I model my shot after?
Are you guys going to revisit the floater by any chance? I remember in the one video on it, you said you were gonna break down the one leg foot and two footed floater.
yo pro shot homie how are you i was always wondering if you would break down shooters that can score in defenders faces like kobe to opeen shooters like steve nash etc is it the finger flick that gives kobe the advantage thanks ?!?
Basketball coach that understands body mechanics. WHATS UP. PUT YOUR SHOULDER INTO IT. So many clueless basketball experts couldn't be sure that they were all wrong until I saw your videos. Now I know that half of basketball conventional wisdom is horse puckey just like I thought. This video is the lynch pin and shows you have completely broken convention. I come from racket sports and this has been obvious to us for three decades. I must admit the sway is a BB thing and in many ways the release is Two. Great video.
Hey Coach Hoover I was Studying Ppls form And Anthony Marrow Came Across And I Noticed That He Doesn't Dip The Ball All the Time you should Do A video on Him
I actually thought the turn happens only before the shot. Now I know it can be different for people that the turn can happen during the shot itself. Is this correct?
During a moving shot my hands just instantly goes to the right how can i fix that? and how can i prevent the ball going too back and turns into a throw instead of an shot?
Coach I found something out that technically you can be squared to the rim as long as if your a right hand player and your right foot is facing the rim then your hip shoulder elbow is aligned to the basket that's why NBA players on free throws are squared but are really consistent I have tried it my self and I was also consistent so you probably inform others about this technique.
I have a natural turn when shooting but my problem is my head turns too and it looks awkward. It doesn't affect my shooting percentage but I just want to fix it, any advice ?
This might be unrelated but i need advice for the stepback. I'm a pure shooter off the dribble and catch, but when i stepback i sort of lose momentum and my shot is wack. Any advice?

Try to work on becoming a 1 motion shooter that's why curry and harden can shoot from far away also the sweep and sway helps a lot well for me at least hope I helped
+Braydon Hazelett Thanks for the answer Friend! I'm working a lot to be a pure 1 motion shooter, at this moment i'm a little of both. Honestly I feel a little strange to shoot 1 motion close to the hoop. So i end being a 2 way shooter, sometimes is 1 motion, sometimes is 2 motion.
+Marcos Paulo Alexandre yeah me too when I'm within mid-range i usually shoot two motion, but mid and 3pt its 1 motion, good luck hope you can get better
When melo uses the 1-2 his left foot is already towards the basket while his other is sided towards to the passer. When he catches the ball, he dips AND steps with his left at the same time which is as fast as the hop. So more like a rocking step than the 1-2
Hey coach, I discovered pro shot during the summer not to long ago and one thing that the instructor told me that I do is that I lean or fall back when I shoot. I find that the majority of the shots I miss are always short and hit the front of the rim so this must be right. How can I fix this? Should I sweep and sway less or dip more?
ok I do turn but I can square up even but deep shooting I turn my right hip is out but I can square up even the key for me is the following threw and I turn hip I wasn't taught I'm from Indiana and we shoot the key to shooting is get ball off palm and follow threw when you do a perfect follow threw the right hip will turn
Listen coach I really need your help. I really beg you to reply to this so I'll pray you do. Ok so my coach LITERALLY gets mad at me every time I shoot because I sweep and sway and I turn. We literally have an argument every time I shoot the ball and I never listen to him. Can you please tell me what to tell him because this is pissing me off. I also bring up that every great shooter does these things but he doesn't listen. If you have a video I could show him or something I could tell him to he could believe that I'm right then that would be great. Thank you and please reply!
+The Real Black Shady I tell him that every sharp shooter sweeps and sways and he doesn't believe me. Then I tell him I can that I send him hundreds of videos saying that you should sweep and sway but still he doesn't listen
+Siraj Khatib Your coach is just closed mind, and being a closed mind coach is the worst thing a coach can be. It's a hard situation, but hit your shots and he can't say nothing to you man. How can someone blame the shooting form of a good shooter?
Dear Coach, I follow your system, I turn when I shoot, but I have a question, what should be my poise before I turn ? When I am ready to shoot, I turn 45 degree. When I shoot, my feet turn to 90. But I see some players shoot from square(0) to 70 to 90 degree ... What should I do, coach, I appreciate your help!! Thanks.
+Pro Shot Shooting System Can you make a video of shooting with palm cause I saw a video from splash lab he said every great player keep the ball of their palm but I don't think so so can you make a video?
that a choice the player has to make. Turn in the air during the elevation into the shot or turn before you elevate. it's really up to what the player is more comfortable with and can maintain control with more easily.
+Yash Kapoor yea same i carry too much momentum idk if i should fade or lean forwards into the shot like westbrook since pulling up into my regular shot feels so wierd
Yeah ikr its like I need a quicker release so the defender doesn't stop me so instead of jumping forward I fade away which messes up my release. Also do u know what he means by the hip being aligned to the basket
+Braydon Hazelett the one two step feels so unnatural man like holy shit I hate that I don't like pulling into my shot with my left foot planted and right foot back and then bringing it forward. I like my right foot planted first..
I'm both 2 step and hop shooter it just depends on the situation. I watch every single one of the pro shooting vids my only problem is dealing with the momentum I carry when I pull up
There were so little LeBron footage tho...i know he's not the greatest shooter in the list of players you put in the video but he did preach about shooting off the dribble.
