From the feet to the neck, all of these posts on mechanics are important. However, don't worry if your mechanics aren't entirely perfect. You are striving for perfection, but in the end feeling comfortable with your shot is just as important. Even the greatest shooters don't have completely perfect form. When you do get to the comfortable shot that feels and looks great, then you need to focus on shooting the same way everytime. All the great shooters always have the same motion when they pull up to shoot, no matter if it's from 20 feet or 30 feet. This brings me to the next important part of shooting, footwork.
You may have heard many people say that Kobe has the best footwork in the NBA. The first time I heard this I was confused as to how that could make him a better shooter or scorer. It turns out footwork has huge importance in shooting. Footwork includes how you approach your shot such as, dropping into your shot as opposed to stepping into your shot. My next posts will continue with shooting footwork. These posts will include what footwork to use, when, and how to use it to your advantage.
I found your blog interesting. I hope maximum people looking for learning basketball mechanics can find your blog. I am running a blog for helping people looking for improving shooting mechanics and drills.
