Shooting Mechanics: Hips

The hips are the easiest part.  As long as your feet are squared toward the basket, then your hips should follow in a similar fashion.  Having them squared toward the basket is extremely important.  If the hips are not squared, then your shot will not be consistently accurate.  A way to identify if your shooting form is off is seeing if your shot is missing left off the rim or right off the rim.  If you have great form than your ball will only miss long or short.  Usually, short means you didn't use enough legs, and long means your aiming the ball too much.  Here is one of my favorite shooters to watch.  He absolutely tore it up when he was at Duke, and now is a solid player in the NBA. JJ Reddick is NASTY, and is one of the greastest shooters of all time.
