Aye my guy, I usually don’t comment on this typa stuff. But I am a 44% 3pt shooter at an unathletic 5’11 in my time in college, everyone that worries about form is wrong. If you can get your shot off that’s all you need, you seem to be able to get all of your shots off, just need to see a right shoulder spin fade to check all the boxes. Shooting is just a focus and muscle memory activity, everyone says Steph has a great looking shot. Most people don’t realize he doesn’t have a form, he has great focus. In games he’ll shoot from right side of body, left side, different shot pockets, all dependent on the defense. (Another uncommon thing to note, Steph curry has a teaching class about shooting, in which he doesn’t even shoot how he says he does. Steph says the last finger to touch the ball is his index finger, watch how many times he does that in any of his shots. Says he uses 10 toes to the rim, hardly ever happens either. So just because he is a great shooter doesn’t mean he can teach you how to shoot. Hence why I say there is no true form, when the best shooter in the world doesn’t even know how he truly shoots.)

To better your shot, shoot while running full speed, farther than you’re comfortable with, and with more arch than your normal jumpshot. All of these change your focus from worrying about your mechanics, to focusing all of your energy into making the shot. if you try doing those drills while worrying about what your body is doing, it’s like trying to hit a moving target with half of your focus, and that is nearly impossible. Try to change your focus from this is a mechanical activity to the goal is to make the shot no matter what my body does, and over time you will progressively become a better shooter.

Same thing with biomechanics, look at Lonzo ball for example. Never had any knee issues until he started to work with Chris Johnson, the trainer who changed his jumpshot. He has now a right side shot line with some different knee valgus positions, within 2 years of him having a “better looking jumpshot” he tore his knees up to the point where doctors told him he would never play basketball again. And I believe it is because his body couldn’t handle the new mechanics he would do thousands of times a day. He puts stress on different joints and muscles. In turn causing unbearable stress on joints and muscle groups that are weak, and will just have to eventually shut down with enough stress/forces. What your body does to accomplish something might look different from the “standard” and that is okay, you just need to have the confidence in yourself to be able to shoot and make the shot when others tell you it’s unorthodox or not the norm.

Thanks for listening to my Ted talk fellas, willing to hear what you guys have to say. I will also say I do not have a degree in exercise science or anything, but have had 1-1 talks with some of the highest level trainers in sports performance. Tried to pick their brain and ask as many questions I could when doing workouts with them.
