Shooting Post workout shooting drill

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

This was after a game and a 3 ish hour workout where I got up around 1500 shots so my form is a lot slower than usual. I try to get around 30 total makes in this drill and when I’m on I push for 50+.

That jump thing is legal without a dribble? I have seen conflicting results.

No way right?

  1. Catching with two feet on the ground; either one of those is the pivot foot
  2. Jumping; pivot foot is removed from the ground
  3. both feet come back down; pivot foot touches the ground again == travel

Granted some of these he might be jumping before the ball is controlled which I think is fine. But many he catches then jumps.

Ya a few he jumps into the catch but most the ball is in the hands then a full jump is made haha. Kinda a weird thing to say you drilled 1500 times or whatever.

Hes def pushing it a bit and the wrong ref is going to blow the whistle at some point (I had this habit, happened to me from time to time)

Just gotta make sure you get your feet up before catching the ball, then its legit. I was lucky and had a coach that knew what I did and hed watch me and go to bat for me when refs got it wrong.

Get lower in your shooting stance so you won’t have to dip again as well. You just go straight up. But,.. if it’s going in. Fuck it

I 1000% agree with this comment. But I wonder how this shot works with a defender on him. Something about OP's body movement feels like any sort of contact would knock OP off balance. I agree on the timing of the jump is working against him/is gonna get called a travel in-game. On the bright side, he's basically using no jump on those shots so OP is generating a lot of power in his upper body as it is.

I would probably substantially lower your volume in general before dialing any sort of shot form. I would suspect making any changes to your shot at this point will be hell to unlearn. perfect practice makes perfect.

Just start the jump before you catch and you’re good

You’re traveling on most of these shots dude, hop into it as you catch the ball.

Elbow is pushing up at a angle so you do lose momentum when you go up with your shot

The hop after the catch, especially from a standstill position, is traveling. You don't want to practice that. The shooting form looks good and very consistent. A lot of the kids on my team try to emphasize the dip before the shot and ended up doing the bunny hop. I had them practice hopping just before catching the ball and land on both feet. Usually, as long as you have some type of movement momentum prior to catching the ball, the refs are usually more lenient with travel calls.
