Basketball shooting tips - how to shoot in basketball?

If you want to improve your shooting in basketball, there are some rules you have to follow, in order to get a decent Jump-shot. But which tips and tricks make you such a good shooter as “Stephen Curry” or “Ray Allen”? The Article lists those, which are most efficient.

Ball control:

To gain the maximum control over the ball, you should hold him on the tips of your fingers. Furthermore you should spread them a little.

The perfect shooting motion:

 

At the beginning of your shot your legs should bent, as if you were sitting. Now as you continue through your perfect shooting motion, you’re jumping up. At this stage your body should be straight in the air and your hands above your head. Remember that you gain the power for your shot from your legs. They're creating the air under your shot. As far as physics knows the right amount of air under your shot is very important, so avoid flat shots.

 

 

Aiming:

Your arm and middle finger should point to the middle of the rim, in order to sucseed. Moreover you should finish your shot as if you were dipping the hand into the rim. “Kevin Love” calls it the cockie jar technique.

Snapping your elbow:

To create a high percentage jump shot you should straighten out your arm, as you reach the peak of your shot. In the perfect scenario your elbow should snap back a little. Don't worry this will feel weird at the beginning. But once you get the hang of it, this becomes a smooth and natural motion.

The perfect Arc:

The ball should reach on his arc an apex, which is about 3 to 4 feet above the level of the rim. To get the perfect arc, your arm should be stretched out fully. To do/check this, make sure, your elbow is above your eyes, when you're releasing the ball.

The Footwork:

The most common mistake of people, who are struggling with their jump shot, is the footwork. Make sure your toes are pointing towards the basket before you shoot. Otherwise you won't shoot with a very high percentage. Shots out of no balance, you should avoid.

The middle finger:

As your longest finger he will touch the ball as last. So make sure that not only your arm, but also your middle finger is pointing exactly towards the middle of the rim. Furthermore your middle finger should point to the ground after releasing the ball. Because that gives him the right spin.

The attitude: 

As Stephen Curry ones said: shooting is 100 % confidence. This may appear a bit strange to you, but your confidence indeed plays a big role in the shooting process. So be confident.

Hard work:

The perfect shooting motion should be something, you do, without thinking about it. In order that this motion becomes natural to you it needs a lot of practice.

The right equipment :

You need a  ball, you can use outdoors and in the gym. Furthermore a good grip is necessary.
Therefore, I recommend you the ball, which I have linked below. I use this model very much and it has served me well. But I prefer to spend a bit more money if I buy a ball to ensure, that the ball has a high quality and lasts long.

Furthermore I highly recommend good shoes. They are absolutely necessary, in order to actually beat your opponent through your own quickness. Without solid shoes you can be as quick as you want, but you won't break anyone's ankles - but most likely your own. Therefore make sure you get some decent ones, that will actually support you in your moves and don't impede.
I will link you some very good Basketball shoes below.
