Whats a correct shooting posture in B-Ball?

Answer 1

Try to square your body to the basket. Use your legs to create momentum. At the release, you should almost be vertical from your feet to your hands.

Answer 2

The correct shooting posture is to square your body to the basket. Depending on what hand you shoot with it should be tucked a little close to the body. Before shooting have the ball at about the chest area so that the ball isnt hit out of your hands before you go up. after jumping almost as high as you can relase the ball at the peak of your jump with a little room between your palm and the ball so that it comes right off the finger tips and nothing but net. good luck.

Answer 3

It's good to keep the elbows up above the chin, near ear level when going up for the shot. That will allow you to use the wrist to aim and target an arc toward the basket, and not have to strain the wrist to get heighth and distance. Picture Kobe when he goes up, he doesn't bring the ball up from the chest or waist, it's already up at face level even before leaves his feet. Even when he head fakes, with his waist bent, he's got the ball up high. When you release, remember that the elbows should be above the chin, not at shoulder lever.

Also make sure to point the elbow of the shooting hand toward the basket. Keep the forearm straight (vertical), and the elbow aimed at the basket. This will improve your accuracy.

The other thing to remember is to shoot up ,using a nice high arc. That will allow you to shoot longer shots.

Answer 4

There isn't a correct shooting posture. If you work at something long enough you'll perfect it. There were lots of shooters in the league with unorthadox shooting styles that shot lights out. You should go with what feels natural to you.

Answer 5

1 - center ball in palm of shooting hand
2 - hold ball in shooting hand and over the shoulder of your shooting arm
3 - the bal should be slightly in front of your shoulder and you should be able to see the ball from the corner of your shooting hand eye
4 - take your other hand and hold the ball steady
5 - use shooting hand to roll/push (using elbow to lift ball and wrist to snap the ball into a shot) the ball straight while allowing non shooting hand to guide the ball
6 - ball should roll off fingers without touching the center of your palm
7 - follow thru with a full stroke of the shooting arm and allow fingers to point at your target throughout the roll

Answer 6

Feet shoulder width apart, elbow(shooting hand)in close to the body, other hand on the side of the ball(support), jump, shoot ball, follow through with hands

Answer 7

keep your feet close together, propel your body with your legs, jump as high as you can, use one hand to hold the ball steady and direct it, and the other to actually shoot. The shooting hand should bend at a 45 degree angle and you should shoot at the peak of your jump. make sure you snap your wrist when you shoot.
