Emphasis
- Bend knees when shooting and shot at the top of your release
- Hold your follow through on every shot
- Snap that wrist
- Put seams all in one direction so that you can get backspin on the basketball
- Eyes are focused on the back of the rim
- Your arm should make a L-shape and your elbow should rub off of your side, forcing it to point inwards.
Preparation
- Pre-select 9 positions preferably inside the 3-point line
- Shot from the first position until you have made the shot
- Once you have made the shot, advance to the next spot
- Any shots from a 45-degree angle should be banked
- Stay in your shooting range and if you’re comfortable, attempt 3-pointers
- Work hard, so that you can complete this circuit with 18 shots or less
Note: This drill helps players become consistent shooters when shooting spot up jumpers. Work on your fundamentals that I teach throughout my blog! I used to do this drill religiously and it helped me become a better spot-up shooter. This drill can be performed with 1 player, but having 2 players is always good. Sometimes it was just me and myself in the gym.
