Ball Wrist
When you shoot the ball,should you flick your wrist or not?
When I shoot the ball I flick my wrist, but most of the time it doesn’t go in.There is one person on my team that he doesn’t flick his wrist and when he shoots it it goes in the basket.My dad says that when I shoot I rush my shot.I rush my shot sometimes,but when I don’t it still doesn’t go in.Can somebody please give me a tip that helps the ball go in the basket.
Yes, if you flick the wrist it helps keep your hand straight and that will help with keeping your aim true. There are several reasons why when you shoot and it doesn’t go in – your mechanics might be off, your body isn’t squared to the basket, you start your shot too early or too late (mainly the rushing you mentioned) you take your eyes off your target, etc.
The key is to make sure your body is square to the basket when you’re setting up to shoot. Basically this means that your body is perpendicular to the plane of the rim as you’re facing it. (This doesn’t apply for layups and hooks and shots like that, just jump shots.) Second, when you jump to shoot, always shoot it at the peak of your jump, not when you’re about to land or just as you jump. Wait a split second, when you reach the height of your jump, you should be letting go of the ball. Third, your arm should be straight up, elbow bent at close to 90 degrees hands cradling the ball before straightening up to shoot, palms do NOT touch the ball, shoot with your fingertips. Roll the ball off the tips, and flick the wrist (that’ll give it that spin, too) to follow through with the shot. Make sure you put a bit of an arc on it – don’t shoot it like a Shaq free throw! (He throws it straight at the hoop – giving it virtually no chance of going in. You want an arc; a good arc would be around a 25 degree angle or so. Check out Jordan’s shot or Bird’s – or even some of the better 3-pt shooters nowadays, you’ll see that arc.)
Lastly, PRACTICE! Practice, practice, practice. It’s the only way to really start nailing your shot. I should know – I’m 6′7″ (thanks to my dad’s genes) and I have a great jump shot due to all the time I put into it.
