If you don't get much rotation when you shoot, it might have a lot to do with your hand placement on the ball. Get even more help by getting my ONLINE WORKOUT PROGRAM "7 Days To A Better Guide Hand (and release)". www.coachdavel...
First off, there are many reasons the ball might not be spinning. Your guide hand might be cancelling out the spin created by the shooting hand.
But in this video we are showing how getting the weight of the ball into your palm can impact the spin.
Try to get the weight of the ball back in your fingers. Your fingers will be moving a greater distance as your wrist snaps and that distance will increase the spin.
Now, the ball can be lightly resting on your palm slightly, but you should feel the weight of the ball more in your fingers. If you don't, try to sit the ball back in your hand a little more.

This is key, I've been figuring out that the ball should be spinning in reverse as a result of good hand placement, I figured out when I rest the ball on my finger pads ,( weather touching the palm or not, just focus on the weight being there) my accuracy is waaaay different. I tried it yesterday at the court, played 1v1 beat a guy 12-0 all 3's ( 2's in that case) then the last game won 16- 0 one mid range and the rest 3's , something about that reverse spin and soft touch changes everything, especially when my personal problem was having a "push" or "throw" rather than a shot.

Dude, it really works, my 3's keeps coming in. Can I ask where you aim at? For example, like are you aiming in the back of the ring?

Hey coach, you make very helpful content on KZfaq and Instagram ,but i have a question.What should I do,if when i shoot with bent wrist(hand under the ball) i can't flick it right to have power and trajectory?(when i shoot with less bent wrist , I'm not feel these problems)

@CoachDaveLove 3 жыл бұрын

Keep practicing. You may be getting more arc with the bent wrist or you may be overdoing it. Go to my store and purchase a Video Shot Analysis so I can see for sure.

hey coach in addition to what you’re saying i have noticed that not having the fingers and, especially the thumb, spread wide across the ball causes an imbalance and difficulty in getting the wrist cocked consistently. may feel awkward at first but after some reps the spin is night and day.

@tranewreck123 3 жыл бұрын

its weird, the ball doesn't spin when i shoot. it goes in tho, i have a quick one motion shot, i use a lil thumb flick and high arc and i snap my wrist much like Currys and yet it dont spin. only problem is, wind really messes up my shot. other than that, im a good shooter.

Same. I’m one of the best shooters Ik and out of all the hoopers Ik they have a decent spin on the ball everytime but mine hasn’t had a spin or very little spin for years now lol

@dipper5835 2 жыл бұрын

If you haven't figured it out yet, you are shooting with your palms and not your fingers. You are most likely flicking when the ball is already out of your hands for no reason

I had my brother record me shooting since I was the exact same. It’s because I would have it on my palm and shoot a little with both hands even thought it wouldn’t loook like it

Coach, why is your middle and ring fingers snapping down before your index finger when you shoot?

@CoachDaveLove 3 жыл бұрын

First off, I’m not perfect. No one is. Secondly, you want to create a funnelling motion with your hand. Your hand needs to funnel the ball to the middle of your grip as you release. There are a few ways to do this.

Coach - my son has great rotation until he hits the 3 pt line. Great ft shooter. Good but inconsistent 3 pt shooter so far. What do ya think is happening when he tries shooting farther away to lose rotation ???

@CoachDaveLove Жыл бұрын

How old is he?

@mikeng9024 Жыл бұрын

I am 39 years old and I have the same problem too. Shooting 3pt need to exert more power, causing the ball to slip as I push the ball out. I studied Steph Curry method, and I implement resting the ball on the palm. As I release, make sure to snap the wrist as usual.

@user-nt6pk4bn4p 2 жыл бұрын

Ok so tell me this, how do I actually snap my wrist? Is the motion coming from the act of pushing the ball, or is it a deliberate motion?

@CoachDaveLove 2 жыл бұрын

You need to start with the weight of the ball in your fingers first. But after that, it’s a fairly natural act (not for all people) of pushing with the fingers.
