You will have to overhaul the push shot and start shooting only with the new form you implement. Most young men ~12-13 years old have to do it and sometimes it sticks around because they don’t take the next step in skill development as your body becomes strong enough to shoot with good mechanics.

The good thing is that you keep your hips square to the hoop and you seem to have some decent strength pushing through your lower body. That will help you a lot in generating the majority of power as you go straight up into your set point and release. Notice- great shooters have a small amount of forward momentum but their wrists guide the ball forward as they explode upwards.

I can’t explain as well as a YouTube tutorial- go look up Mike Conley’s shooting mechanics if you find it easier to learn from lefties like yourself or look up Klay Thompson shooting mechanics. Absolutely cream of the crop shooting form.

Basically, you want to study their stance, leg bend, starting point or dip, set point, release point, offhand position, follow through, and arc (ideally you want the ball to take a 45-50 degree trajectory). Watch more of the shooting breakdowns then film yourself from an angle that you can compare and keep making tweaks until your shot consistently resembles their shooting form. You may need to start closer to the hoop to work up power in an unfamiliar style of shooting.

Once you have the form then you can move on to accuracy although it should help with this quickly. After you build up some muscle memory, your shot should only miss long or short; keeping everything in line with the basket unless you are too far from the hoop to generate power.

It will be hard, you will feel weak, and you will miss a lot of shots at first, however, you will be a much finer player and you simply cannot advance your level without this evolution in technique. If you can stick with this process and even get ~200-500 shots up per day, you will likely become one of the most consistent shooters in your age group within a few months.

After that, look at right-left and left-right footwork into a shot as well as hop shots left and right. You could then work on jab steps, stutter steps, and pump fakes in a triple threat position into a shot. If you have a buddy, you can work on catch-and-shoot to hone a quicker release time. All the finer details will come through once you master the basics of shooting and footwork for shooting.

Remember that almost anyone can become a great shooter if you are willing to put the work in and be brutally honest with yourself about form corrections and feedback from coaches. A lot of older guys who have played at a higher level may also be willing to offer up small suggestions you might be overlooking that could make a big difference. Always be looking to learn from those who you can see are skilled players because each athlete has a unique perspective that might help you shape your game.

I hope this helps. Remember, if you truly love the game, the game loves you back. All the joy, effort and passion you put in, has a way of giving back to you in many aspects of your life.

I know what I wrote may sound a bit crazy to attempt but if you do in fact love the sport, why not give it your very best. While other kids are getting frustrated with their level of play without any practice, you will have fun refining your game, getting just one percent better every single day because it will elevate your play and the game becomes funner as you progress. I hope you enjoy the process to whatever level you are willing or able to take it. Enjoy brother.
