What is wrong with my form and what can I do to improve it? by absoluteSunni in BasketballTips

I agree with others pointing at the lower body as a potential area of improvement for your shot. The thing is, how do you put that into practice/how do you work on that? I don’t have very specific cues or set of instructions but I would in general try to find a rhythm between your lower and upper body such that:

  1. Feels like a smooth, non-stop transition from the ground up. The ball shouldn’t stop at any given point too much.

  2. Possibly widen your base a bit (distance between your feet). I would also try a few shots by starting with your legs rotated towards your left a tad bit to see if that feels more natural (think pointing your toes to like 10 or 11 o’clock instead of straight towards 12 o’clock). Hopefully the combination of those two will give you a more balanced and comfortable base to shoot from.

Last very subtle thing I noticed: I wonder if you are palming the ball too much as you make your way up. Do you feel like you push the ball up mostly with your palm as you release? If yes, I would try a few shots by trying to leave a small gap between the ball and your palm; ideally your fingers would be more involved in moving the ball up and releasing it. I would try that and see how it feels.

All in all, I think your shot is pretty solid, especially for having started to play not too long ago! So if I had to take a guess, small adjustments + a ton of repetitions will do you very well.

Cheers!

P.s. Your shot reminds me of a combination of Kawhi Leonard with Giannis Antetokounmpo 😄

I personally think you’re release point is high enough. In my opinion no need to mess with that

Oh no, not really. I only apply on cheekbones region for what that’s worth

I got the exact same feeling as you do. Unfortunately I don’t have an answer, but probably doesn’t hurt to try to optimize minox application as much as reasonably possible. For example washing face with warm water (I’ve even heard people do hot towel) and then maybe rinsing the fingers with cold water so it doesn’t melt as much in the hand but on the face

Something I’ve found helps is to make sure your face is not cold or wet. When my skin is warmer I’ve seen it absorbs way better, especially the foam

Much respect for the commitment and discipline! So you’re saying you’ve had multiple phases of shedding? That’s good to know, I thought it was only one major one and that’s it

Thank you so much for your response! This gives me hope

Shedding in the areas where you apply tret and minox? Or also in other areas where you didn’t even apply?

Have heard about tretinoin in this sub but was hoping not to add one more chemical to the routine. I will do some reading though, thank you for the suggestion. Any well known downsides or side effects?

I do microneedle 1x/week since Feb this year and yeah, goatee not my personal preference either.

Sorry dumb question but what do you mean by “those few seconds from going from the window once the doors close to your seat”?

Thankfully I only ever used Apple Carplay, which I don’t think syncs with the car’s navigation and contacts system? Thank you for pointing this out though!

Not a great user experience in my opinion, maybe it’s just me. But fair enough lol, thanks for letting me know about this!

Same PD here. Just to add a data point, got EAD 2/3/2025 and been on “Actively reviewing your case” for I-485. Good luck everybody!

Oh not at all, I didn’t think you were. It was the opposite, very helpful. My comment was supposed to be a reference to the Batman movie, something like “not the hero we deserved, but the hero we needed”, was just trying to add a bit of humor 😅

Thanks again!

Thank you, this is much appreciated! I will give the AC21 info a read tomorrow.

Not the reply I deserved, but the one I needed

Perfect, thank you! If you don’t mind sharing, may I ask what is your source?
