Form shooting

You can use any hoop. Take the ball and shoot it with one hand. Make sure that your arm is at a 90 degree angle. And make sure you spread your fingers out on the ball. Start from close and move outwards. Besides you really shoot with one hand anyway. If you can not shoot somewhere on the floor with one hand that means it is out of you range. Remember lock your elbows and make sure your hand like bounces and have a high-arc. All you wanna hear is swish!

Instructions

Use one hand to shoot the ball. Have your eyes focused on the rim. Spread out your finger on the ball. And leave a lil’ space when the ball is in your hand. When the ball is in your hand you should be able to stick your finger in between the ball and you shooting hand. Lock your elbows and make sure your wrist flicks.

Variations

Continue you shoot it with one hand but add your guide hand, but don’t let it touch the ball.
