How do I make more foul shots...and 3-pointers?

Answer 1

Increase arm strength and practice shooting. Develop better hand-eye coordination.

Answer 2

There is more to it than practicing. If you practice with bad form, you get good at being bad. I could tell you exactly what to fix or work on if I watched you shoot, but in general, my best advice is to lift your elbow high as you shoot and hold or freeze your follow-through until the ball hits the basket. You should be shooting with a one-hand release.
Do not worry about three-pointers until you are making shots from closer range consistently. When you are consistently good, then and only then do you earn the right to move back three feet and practice from farther out.

Answer 3

There are no two ways around it:
Practice, Practice, Practice.


If you're really committed, take about a hundred of each shot each day, and you'll see improvement really quickly.

There just isn't any substitute for practice.

Answer 4

Answer 5
