Shooting Mechanics: Finishing the Shot

The chain of power from starting from your foot has now reached your hand.  Following through unleashes all of the power that has built through your body.  First, as you may have known, you must flick your wrist.  As every coach says, "finger in the cookie jar".  Pretend like your young again and all you want is that last cookie.  You got to seriously reach in to get that cookie!  Second, you want the ball to roll off your index finger.  This is how your hand aims toward the hoop.  You should finish with that index finger pointing at the hoop.  Remember, the key to a great follow through is to get in that cookie jar and have that ball roll off the index finger!
