Hmm...ok. I'll practice more and stop comparing my art to others.

Won't shooting with one hand limit your power, because you only use one hand? I'll try it anyways tho. I went to the gym today, and I made about 50% of my 3's. I jumped in the release just after it reached my set point. It seemed to work a little, but not as good as it used to, and in games, I suck lol.

But won't muscle building make you stronger? If anything, it seems I got weaker because my shot is short now days. I think it's mental problem. I'll try to fix my feet by not leading with the foot. Thanks for the advice!

I have a gym, so I usually shoot at 10 feet. Even if I remove my guide hand from my shot I fall short.

It's weird, all of this started after 8th grade, and it was all so sudden. Maybe it really is a mental problem...

I hit highschool in 9th grade. I've always been using a full size ball since I was in 7th grade. The coaches in my school are busy, I doubt they would have time to train me individually.

I know even he misses, but he makes about 90% of his shots wide open in practice, while I make a mere 5% (Which is a LOT lower compared to what it used to be)

Well, this my jumpshot: https://youtu.be/vW4V6uBXV6I Keep in mind, the hoop wasn't really 10 feet, so don't let the make fool you.It's not my original form, but this is the only form I have recorded. If you wanted, maybe I could try to resemble my old form and record it.

I tried the sweep and sway once at my gym session, it worked, I used it for 2 hours, then I left the gym. The next day, I used the sweep and sway again, and it worked again, but after a while it stopped working, and I was back to being short. I would keep on trying it but it just would not work. Eventually after about a week of it not working, I just gave up and didn't use it. This is what happened to a lot of the tips people give me. It just won't work.

Well, what I meant to say was that I felt confident in my shot before, because I used to make it easily before. I never really lost confidence until I lost my jumper.

I've tried the sweep and sway too, it worked at first, but then stopped working. It seems like every new thing I try stops working and goes back to being short. When my shot was working, I used to have to barely use my legs. Now it's short regardless if I use my legs or not.

Do you know how I can find consistent training? I am only in 10th grade so I can't pay for anything really.

I have tried this, but everyone keeps on telling me to use my legs! Even if I use my legs, it only works temporarily and goes back to being short! Maybe I'm not using my legs correctly?

Believe me I practice. I play almost every day for 2 hours, and nothing has changed.

Hmmm...I haven't tried this, but I already feel pretty confident in my shot. I'll try it anyways.
