Almost 3.5 million views and not even 1k dislikes, that's a quality video.

A lot of you guys are wondering how he shoots so far without changing his form and losing accuracy. The reason he can shoot so deep and is still accurate when doing so is because of how he uses his feet and glutes. You're not supposed to bend your knees and get as low as you can, that would ruin your accuracy, increase your chances of getting blocked, and allow the defender to react to your shot quicker. Your arms and wrist are only for accuracy, your legs are for power, so don't go to the gym working out your arms more. Step one, when in your shooting form, keep your heels off the ground at least an inch or an inch and a half off the ground or more depending on your height. Step two, DO NOT bend your knees too much. Imagine your legs as a flat plane, your knees being the vertex, bend your knees at about 160 degrees only. It should NEVER be anywhere near 90 degrees how some coaches tell you to do. Step two is crucial to step three. Step 3, squeeze your glutes as your are stepping/hopping into your shot, which ever is more comfortable. I know you're a little skeptical of when I say DO NOT bend your knees too much because every coach you've ever had has told you that your power comes from your legs and to get that power, you should bend your knees. But what you heard is wrong. Coaches don't know anything about anatomy. When you bend your knees, the power you are getting comes from your quads, but why would you use your quads to shoot if your glutes are more powerful? Shooting while contracting your glutes will give you more power, take less time than bending your knees, which gives the defender less time to react to your shot, giving the defender less chance to block you. This will also increase your arc because your body and arms will be going in an upwards motion. I hope this helps with your range and power issues! And don't criticize this before you try it and follow the steps correctly. If you notice when Steph is shooting in practice how he barely jumps up yet still shoots far, that's because he uses power from contracting his glutes, which gives him tons of power without much effort.

something I've also noticed is how relaxed and cool he is, I've found that missing often results from overthinking, which is exactly the opposite of what Steph is doing, it's like shooting is second nature for him, incredible.

Curry probably like "Bruh I just shoot wtf is this extra stuff"😂😂

This is the most detailed shooting form video I've ever seen. Great job man

0:50 - Shooting Alignment 1:22 - The Turn 2:12 - Stance 2:38 - The Dip 3:35 - Hand Position 4:22 - The Setpoint 5:43 - Palm Shooter 6:19 - The Release 6:53 - The Follow Through 7:20 - The Eyes 7:41 - The Off Hand

The key to his shooting motion is timing. Its not that hard to imitate his hand position and his set point. Whats hard is the timing. His timing is impeccable, he brings it up to his forehead and then starts jumping while most people start jumping immediately. Just try to do it, its so hard to do cause your body automatically starts jumping when you start moving your hands. See what I'm talking about at 5:20

I actually shoot with more accuracy than Steph. I'm not trying to brag but I can out shoot Bird, Curry, Reggie...you name it. My percentage is one of the best on the planet. Who wants me next on Playstation?

this is a brilliant instructional video. it's one of the best i've ever seen in any field -- sports, music, home, gardening, etc. the amount of detail explanation along with the multiple views that you provided are perfect. you didn't miss anything. congratulations on a masterwork. bravo!

Finally a shooting channel that knows what in depth means great job

Stephen Curry may very well be the greatest shooter of all time. His shot is so smooth, it never stops or hitches. This gives him speed to shoot out of tough situations quickly. His follow through is high which gives him a high arc, even from long distances. This maximizes the area of the rim which the ball can pass through, which heavily increases accuracy. He's so deadly, not only is he making more threes than anyone else in the span of a season, he's also doing this at a very high percentage. Stephen is the NBA'S greatest shooter, there is no doubt about it.

after that thunder game i had to see what sourcery this nigga got flowing through his veins

Great analysis! Very detailed and informative. Thanks for doing this!

This was incredibly thorough. Great job analyzing Curry's shot. Too many videos like this describe motions that just aren't there (e.g. feet squared to the basket, straight up and down jump, etc.).

Very good informative video Mr. Splash. You pointed out every little detail that I would never even think of when it comes to Curry's shooting form.

This is just amazing, Steph has been my favourite player since coming to the league and I've always wondered what he does to be a sniper like he is now.. now I know what his methods are, and Ima use it as my base for my shooting form, THANK YOU SPLASH LAB!

This video is so helpful! I can make 3s effortlessly now and it really boosted my field goal percentage!

Just a tip.. just because this form works for Curry doesn't mean its going to automatically work for you

High quality video man, thanks for taking the time to make this.

So detailed, organized, and factual.

U should make more vids man this is great content

Kind of funny how a lot of the things he does are against what you learn as a kid(feet squared, etc.)

Just wanted to let you know, I watched your video like a 100 times since when this was released. I was mainly a inside to mid range shooter. I literally went to the park and took 1000 shots a week using the tips i learned from this video. I gotten to a point that in the mens league i played in I had a game i hit 9 three pointers in a game and another 8 threes two other games . This video single handily changed my shooting for the good. Thank you

very good material

Thx to you I hit my first three in a game followed by 3 more 3s in the end I had 20pts. Great details. Great breakdown. And I can't wait for your future videos god bless and merry Christmas.

I only took a couple of tips from this and I got better so thanks

I missed this video. Coming back to learn more💖. I was here since 2015💖

Thanks for posting this video and help me a lot

This is how you know you understand shooting. I didn't notice half these things and I have been watching steph curry videos since davidson. Really good job bro

thumbs up and subscribed. keep up the good work man

Nice Video bro 👏🏾👏🏾

Love this channel

Ive practiced this. The key to gettin his effortless release type is at 5:20. A single motion chuck. You have to gather the ball before you jump off and kind of push/shove your release straight. Everything else for example arm form, finger release, can stay whatever has been unique for you. This is the main component

LeBron is prob watching this video rn. Preparing for Game 7

splash lab thanks so much !! It helped me a lot !! if u have many more videos of shooting !!

Crazy shots

Best shooting advice is this: shoot whatever way feels comfortable for you. Curry is the best, but imitating his form guarantees you nothing. He has shot this way for so long, so many times, it's carved into his DNA. He will always pull up like that without thinking. Shoot however you want, just be sure to do it for hours a day and you'll have a solid jumper regardless of your form. Awesome video though, interesting stuff. Crooked feet and all, this guy just doesn't miss. Impressive truly

This really teaching me something 🏀

Thank you so much this really helped me make more 3 pointers now.

This is the most detailed video I've ever seen about stephen curry shooting 😃.thanks man

You are a genius. I've been waiting for some one to analyze shooting forms into the correct extent of it. So helpful and truthful. The best out there. Can you do one on Damian lillard. Thankyou

Wow, this is one of the most detailed shooting form videos i've seen. Can you do a Carmelo Anthony shooting form vid? I think I shoot like him

Most accurate and helpful vid about Steph curry shooting

Awesome! Practice hard but more importantly, practice SMART. Terrific video.

So in depth.. Best breakdown video of Curry's shot on KZfaq

Great video! I've always been a decent free throw shooter around the 78-79%. I tried moving my hand more towards the inside of the ball and today I made 97-100 at practice and at one point 54 in a row!

Great video man, keep up the good work!

Great help. Thanks a lot

this is actually very good.

Wow this is fucken gold...great job

Best shot breakdown I've ever seen/heard.

Good vid and explaining

the magic comes throuhg the snap of the wrist. Everything else is there to maintain the same routine and ballance. But the wrist is where he gets his distance from. Of course in order to maintain the same routine over and over again he has been through countless sessions. If you watch the E.60 strip you will find Curry one year practising on his shot to raise it from his waiste above his right eye. Progress is much faster when you are young but discipline very rare at this age. I myself am going through a daily shooting routine of about 1-2h recorded on film to observe my form and monitor my progress. Of course in order to keep up the form throughout the whole of the game you need physical as well as mental strength. I am strongly heading for 50 so why am I donig this now? 1) I have fallen in love with BB very late - just about 10 years ago. 2) The game is only fun if you have the right technique. If you play the PG position these days more than ever you need a good shot from the outside, otherwise you can not get past your defender. He will stay clear of you and stop your drive. But if your shot is money in the bank he has to come close and then with one fast step you can drive by. BB is a game where you need at least 2 options in offence in order to be difficult to guard.

Good video man thanks so much for breaking down. Can u do the break down of Allen iverson shot? Thanksss

Great vid bro

Man, well done ! Thanks for making the video I have improved my jump shot so much thanks to you!! U just earned a new subscriber:)

I've been working on my Curry jumpshot and 93% of my shots are going in and I swish some of them too. I don't even know how this is possible and I started doing this form 2 days ago.

people studying this video.. like " i need to look good in the gym next week"

Amazing analysis

Love this shooting breakdown 💕

music is fire

Something important to remember is that repetition is just as important as form. Curry's form is not what most shooting teachers would teach younger kids. He more than likely is the best shooter in the game because of repetition. He found a form that worked for him and does it the exact same way over and over again.

+Splash Lab This is the best shooting form video ever

Great job best basketball shooting form video ever! Thanks so much

@Slapsh Lab, Thanks man I beat my friend yesterday on a 1 on 1 game

Quite honestly, Curry's jumper goes against many aspects of textbook form: shoulders/feet not square, doesn't go straight up and down, begins his form at is waist, etc. However, it's probably better for the average Joe to shoot like him since it draws a bit more power out of the stroke, making it easier for guys who aren't super big strong guys (like Curry himself) to shoot from farther. Either way, can't argue with the results!

Bro this vid is amazing

Very Detailed! Nice!

Stephen Curry, one of the most complicated shooting forms in the NBA

Wow his eyes do follow the ball path! The only others I know who do that are Michael Jordan and Larry Bird. That's it! I'm trying it!

Awesome vid!

Great video!

People say that the thumb flick on the guide hand is bad, but you can clearly see here that Curry does it to a degree. Now that I think of it, a couple of other legendary NBA shooters, Ray Allen and Reggie Miller, do it too. Kevin Love is a good shooter and he also flicks his thumb a lot in his shot. Is the thumb flick really that bad? Seems to work for the the three best shooters in NBA history...

Great vid. Only thing missing: his jump. How high? Where does he land? Jump straight up or fall away? Etc.

awesome and very empressive

Such a helpful video for non-pro in basketball like me. I hope that you'll keep on uploading videos to help us to improve our skill on the said sport. Thank you. STEPHEN CURRY IDOL

perfect practice makes u perfect,,, not just practice.

1:17 his leg tho

Such a good video, and a very comprehensive explanation.

Good one! Thanks a lot.

its not about shooting form... its comfortability

His leg looks like wood at 1:14

thank you Splash Lab

Awesome! Wanted to see something like this!

Do the JR Smith shooting form

Have u finished your ". How to find your perfect form " yet? Can u make a video on how to shoot in 1 motion, that stuff still confuse me

Good video man!

Thanks! It works!!

Can you please explain why he tucks his thumb in on his off hand. Does he use it to push the ball? Does it even touch the ball?

can you do james harden for tips for leftys

Great analysis

damn this was actually really high quality. great work!

following ball with your eyes to the rim is important cause it feels great and also I think we as a shooter have this crazy magic to keep the ball in its proper course by looking at it and using our crazy psychic powers to make the ball go in, is it just me?

How to shoot like Stephen Curry: You can't.

analysis on point!! good stuff

Very interesting vid and careful analysis, keep up the good work

Roy Jones Jr. Can't be touched nice choice for music can't go wrong with the fastest n arguably best boxer of all time

Can you post a new shooting form because I want new video watch

This really helped me

that was good keep up the good work
