Ok, so I'm having some problems with my shooting form. I was thinking and came up with an idea that can help me with my shooting form.

I'm trying to improve my muscle memory.

Here are the things I need to get

Shooting Bandit (good form angle)
http://www.jumpusa.com/bandit.html
Shooting Strap (helps with of-hand)
http://www.jumpusa.com/shooting_strap.ht...
The Shooting Buddy (keep elbows in)
http://www.jumpusa.com/shooting_buddy.ht...

Anyways I was thinking, I wear all three of these devices say for 100 shots in a row, Then I take all of it off and shoot 50 shots, and repeat. This can help muscle memory for my shooting form.. I know most of you guys will say just to go practice, but can doing this improve my form.

Thoughts? What do you guys think?

last 2 links dont work....... shooting bandit is a waste of your money...... shoot with 1 hand.... doit like 100 times close to the basket.... then just add your left hand and just touch the ball and don't do anything with your left hand except guide it at the basket

have a look at the perfect jumper, its alot better i hear, especially the perimeter pro, which reduces the rim to like 12 inches, if you can hit a shot in that u shud feel like the rings an ocean, i want to get 1 but its hard to get it to australia.

Hi
I don't think Kobe or Lebron used these devices. U should be fine just standing under a net and shooting with one hand. Watch a video on You-Tube if you don't know how to properly shoot or buy better basketball which are the BEST basketball improvement videos out there. They really helped me improve my shot and my skills in other areas as well.

Lol omg dawg look... first mah form was aiight and I can shoot but not accurately. Den dis mornin' I checked out one of da "Shootin'" posts and somebody said somethin' about "Make sure ya middle finger is aimin at da hoop always."

Once I tried dat shit I been winnin' games like hell! Won 2 games of 21 in a row mainly by mah J.

Even got some highlight crossovers and dunks xD I'm beastin. Improved since I been on here so I just wanna' thank you dudes who're givin' advice, especially on handles and jumpers.

a lost art... PRACTICE.
But if you really want a good training tool get perfect jumper. I have baseline bomber 2 and man it helps you so much. But seriously just practice and you will become better.
