To be really good at shooting the basketball is a long process that requires shooting the ball correctly. Once a player has good shooting mechanics, the player must repeat that form over and over to be a consistent shooter. The following drill is the starting point to becoming a great shooter.
One hand form shooting is the key to developing proper shooting form. Dave Hopla the world’s top shooting instructor starts every workout with one hand form shooter. Steve Alford NCAA champion, all American, and amazing shooter included one hand form shooting in his all American work out. JJ Redick also includes one hand form shooting in his workouts. It’s safe to say that many of the worlds best shooters and shooting coaches place an incredible amount of value on one hand form shooter. That is the reason that it should be incorporated into ever use practice and in all individual shooting workouts.
The best thing about one hand form shooting, is the moment that the player realizes hey this stuff really works. When they play it gets to that point he will embrace the drill, just like David Ortiz for his entire career embraced hitting a baseball off of TT. Yes drill is a great opportunity for a basketball buddy to help the basketball player have a more enjoyable journey. Shooting the basketball although practiced by everyone, it’s mastered by a rare few. Attend a local high school game and of the 16 to 20 players that enter the game, there are likely to be no more than two or three players really can shoot the basketball. And if you’re lucky enough you can find the top shooter in your area and watch him play, to see what a difference being able to shoot the ball can make.
It really is a matter of having many repetitions read the ball set your elbow finish your follow through these all are simple tasks that can be mastered by using one hand form shooting.
A recommendation for this drill is to start in close and make 10 shots. The shots do not have to be in a row. After making 10 shots the player must then make five in a row. This is a working definition of a players range. A spot where he can he or she can make five shots in a row. The player should take small steps back and continue the process until he or she can no longer make five in a row. As a player increases skill the distances between spots can be greater.
