how to palm the ball better

[ShotCaller]

anybody know? its real frustrating when ur tryin to dunk a 9 foot net or somethin (or a 10 foot if u got hops :P) but it clangs off the back rim just cuz u cant palm it well enough

start with the ball facing straight up, then as you go up slide your hand to the top of the ball so it goes straight down. you need to get a little higher, but it works.

or...

get bigger hands

cool i'll try that

and the big hands thing too lol

Having bigger hands help, but it's all about strenght, My friend has way smaller hands than me, he's like 5'9'', but he's a bodybuilder..he could easily palm the ball..

ya my coach told me its all about finger strength, but how do u strengthen ur fingers...by playing video games??

Finger Pushups Help, you can also kneel down and dribble low with each fingers..

Also just grip the ball with both hands and try to grab it really hard for like a minute everyday..
