Default Few Questions about shooting forms.

Does it really matter how you shoot ??
i mean what i do is like.. i flick it up as i jump. i mean I know how your suppose to shoot using your wrist when you jump your highest ? i mean i can do that for 2 pointers. but i really have a hard time doin that for those threes. is there any excercise I can do to get my wrist more strength.

How do you people shoot ?

ya, i used to have the same problem. dont worry about it: if u look in the nba, most of them shoot their threes with less hangtime then their midrange jumpers. its natural.

as long as you shoot your threes with the same form, then you're fine. this means you can shoot off ur jump if u have to, but u'll eventually get stronger and be able to shoot during ur jump, even if its not as much as ur midrange shot. the key is: dont worry too much about when u shoot in ur jump, as long as u r jumping and using proper form.

btw, ur not supposed to shoot at the top of ur jump, unless ur trying to avoid getting blocked. open midrange/long range jumpers, however, u should be shooting just b4 u hit the top of ur jump and do ur proper form. its best to shoot JUST as u hit the top of ur jump ONLY if ur strong enough to do ur proper form. but dont hang at the top of ur jump and then shoot: i kno thats what they teach u in video games, but dont do it becasue it ruins all ur "upforce" and its hard as hell to stabilize.

I kind of agree with that. My friends always say that people who use the backboard suck. I don't know where that came from, but it pisses me off.

i hate people that use backboard omg it gets under my skin... seriously if i lose to a bank shot i will sit there and talk shit until he says somethin and just snap on him to get my aggresion out... havent had to choke anybody out yet but if there werent some people there to stop me i would get in fights at the court everytime that happens it really is embarrasing bc i look like a jackass i cant help it i just start punching shit and damn i get pissed... oh and for my shot ummm i do everything right but i dont keep my elbow in try that
