| Went to the gym today & shot just over an hr. Did some filming, wasn’t going for the 3pt contest, but was trying to be fast & not take too much time. I haven’t shot any video of myself in a long time, the one thing that stood out to me was my wrist snap. It’s all in the wrist with great shooters. You’ll actually get a recoil at the end, kinda like a whip. You’ll see this with all great shooters. And, watch baseball pitchers, they do it as well. Hey Nastynate, do QB’s do this too?? I’ll have to check out some ftball games on tv to see. I don’t recall.
In this first video I was snapping my wrist like always, in the second video, which I’ll post up soon, I tried to hold the follow thru more at the very end. But it’s a better shot with more of the wrist snap/recoil. More explosive, I get better rotation, longer range. And tonight hopefully my buddy won’t bail out on me like last night. If he shows up I’ll go for the 3 pt. contest. Also, I jump as high as needed, if a defender is on me I jump very high on my shot. But by myself I’ll get by with a 2-3 inch jump, but I also practice jumping high like someone IS on me. I mix it up. |
