1. 0:00what's up it's coach Ryan ruzuki you
2. 0:01want to be a better shooter and I want
3. 0:02to help you do that let's get to it so
4. 0:04let's look at a few reasons why you
5. 0:06might not be making shots number one is
6. 0:08going to be hand placement so if your
7. 0:09hands on the side of the ball or it's
8. 0:11facing the wrong direction let's fix
9. 0:13that take a look at the shooting hand
10. 0:14perfectly in the center I like to use a
11. 0:16split finger hold with my index on one
12. 0:18side and my middle on the other but it's
13. 0:21also perfectly fine to use the index
14. 0:23finger in the middle or the middle
15. 0:24finger in the middle as long as you
16. 0:26don't have your hand on the side or
17. 0:27facing in another Direction keep the
18. 0:30shooting hand facing perfectly straight
19. 0:31now the guide hand here you're going to
20. 0:33see some good separation you do not want
21. 0:35your hands too close together so the
22. 0:37guide hand is going to be here on the
23. 0:39circle where my thumb is going to be
24. 0:40placed and it's going to be on the side
25. 0:42and even look like it's slightly
26. 0:43underneath you can see that thumb right
27. 0:45there on the circle lined up with the
28. 0:47seam now it looks like my shooting hand
29. 0:49is perfectly in the middle and my guide
30. 0:51hand is even underneath but when you
31. 0:53notice that I bring that ball up which
32. 0:55you're going to see if the guide hand on
33. 0:56the side and slightly on top which is
34. 0:58actually perfect for secure 30 so when
35. 1:01you're going to shoot the ball whether
36. 1:02it's a pickup off the dribble or a
37. 1:04pickup on the catch you'll have no
38. 1:06problem gripping it you can see all five
39. 1:08fingers on my shooting hand and only one
40. 1:10finger on the guide hand this is ideal
41. 1:12for separation you do not want to see
42. 1:14more than just those six fingers
43. 1:17the next reason why you might be missing
44. 1:19shots because you have a really bad shot
45. 1:20path so if your basketball is traveling
46. 1:22in an awkward direction or coming
47. 1:25backwards that's really going to hurt
48. 1:26your ability to shoot the ball
49. 1:28consistently now what I'm about to do
50. 1:30here is actually difficult for a lot of
51. 1:31people notice how the arrows stay
52. 1:33straight throughout the entire shot they
53. 1:35don't turn to the right they don't turn
54. 1:36to the left my shot path doesn't go
55. 1:38outside of my frame to the right it also
56. 1:41doesn't go outside my frame to the left
57. 1:42which of course causes that chicken wing
58. 1:44so the ball is centered and it comes up
59. 1:47it does not go behind my head it stays
60. 1:49in front of my head and I'm able to
61. 1:51release it right from that eyebrow
62. 1:53the third reason why you might not be
63. 1:54making shots is because you have really
64. 1:55bad Arc so what we want to do is get
65. 1:57that ball to travel up and through and
66. 2:00allow my elbow to finish right above my
67. 2:02eyebrow the simplest rule to having good
68. 2:04Arc is to get the elbow over the eyebrow
69. 2:06right here you can notice the elbow is
70. 2:08right over the eyebrow in this example
71. 2:10you can see the same thing however the
72. 2:12arm goes way too far back so don't do
73. 2:13that I have seen people do that and then
74. 2:15of course you never want that ball to go
75. 2:17over the head and you never want to
76. 2:18finish with your elbow under the eyebrow
77. 2:20so easy way to make sure that you have
78. 2:22good arc on your shot the fourth reason
79. 2:24why you might not be making shots is
80. 2:25because you push the ball too much with
81. 2:26your offhand causing the basketball to
82. 2:28travel in another Direction so the
83. 2:30easiest way to fix that is to take your
84. 2:32off hand thumb remove it from the ball
85. 2:34take your index finger also remove it
86. 2:37from the ball so now when you practice
87. 2:38shooting you can just practice
88. 2:41right here
89. 2:43this is honestly one of the best ways to
90. 2:45not thumb flick the ball anymore simply
91. 2:47just take those two fingers off and
92. 2:49shoot all your shots just like so the
93. 2:51fifth reason why you might not be making
94. 2:52shots is because you don't release the
95. 2:54ball with the correct fingers which is
96. 2:55going to be these two right here or
97. 2:57these two right here but you don't want
98. 2:59to release with the pinky and you don't
99. 3:01want to release with the thumb or a
100. 3:02combination of the last two fingers make
101. 3:04sure that you finish with the wrist down
102. 3:06this one might be a little bit of harder
103. 3:08habit to break but if you notice here
104. 3:09how the flick goes to the side and comes
105. 3:11off the pinky do the best you can to
106. 3:13make sure that the flick goes down every
107. 3:14single time and all your fingers face
108. 3:16the ground and finally the last reason
109. 3:18why you might not be making shots is
110. 3:19because you have poor Rhythm so with the
111. 3:21solar flare ball what I'll do is I'm
112. 3:22going to take my shooting hand put it
113. 3:24right here in the center take my guide
114. 3:25hand put it right there where we talked
115. 3:26about keep that ball lined up nice and
116. 3:29straight then as I go up you see the
117. 3:31ball is low and my hips are also low the
118. 3:34ball will go up and my hips will then
119. 3:36follow so now I can have good Rhythm and
120. 3:37this will help me with my range so now
121. 3:39I'm coming up
122. 3:40boom and I can release right there nice
123. 3:43and smooth with the Rhythm I'm not going
124. 3:45to start with the ball here and then
125. 3:46drop my hips I'm also not going to have
126. 3:48the ball go behind my head on the side
127. 3:50of my head or on the other side of my
128. 3:52head right here from the hip
129. 3:54one straight line up my hips will follow
130. 3:57that ball and I can release it directly
131. 3:59into the basket we are currently down to
132. 4:01our last 100 solar flare basketballs 150
133. 4:04have already gone out and this will be
134. 4:05the last 100 that we will ever have for
135. 4:07sale on the solar flow basketball so if
136. 4:09you want to get one before Christmas cop
137. 4:11one a day
