    Some hacks I have learned if anyone is interested. I was maybe hitting 30% of my shots before this.

    1. Learn to dribble. Lots of drills online.

    Shooting

    1. Elbow above shoulder (Larry bird) or elbow above brow (curry)
    2. Put your hand in the cookie jar. I find a finger in the cookie jar works better.
    3. 3 90’s (Jordan) this also works for Kobe’s fader.
    4. Square up shoulder length apart and kinda do a squishy squat
    5. The energy starts at your heels.
    6. Use the balls energy, ie, off the dribble
    7. If you’re not square use your leg as a rudder. Ala Larry Bird.
    8. Back has to be straight. Tits out elbows back works well.
    9. Aim at the middle eyelet of the 3. Bird would aim at the back, his rebound would come back, Curry aims at the front of the rim.

    Couple other fun drills

    1. Nash same foot same hand floater.
    2. Euro Step
    3. Floater. Elbow above brow.
    4. Iverson Cross over.

    It has been awesome following basic mechanics and seeing the results.

    • some kid going into grade 7 comes out with his dad. He started doing elbow above brow and shooting better than me now.rootlock
