Message: [QUOTE="LurkSoHard, post: 3601979, member: 10250"] I went to the Yale basketball camp when I was younger and learned a drill that taught me to shoot jump shots with my left hand, and improved my range and accuracy with my right. -Stand underneath the rim but to the side (approximately where you would be if you were shooting a layup.) -Put the ball in your hand as you would for a jump shot, but hold it only with the hand you are using to shoot (so no balancing the ball with your off hand.) -Kiss the ball of the glass as you would for a normal layup, but use the same form you would use for a jump shot (obviously without a jump, as you're standing still lol.) Make sure you use perfect form on the shot or else the whole drill is a waste. I won't describe shooting form here for brevity, but I'm sure you can find good videos online. -This part is important for strength building. DO NOT drop your arm after you release. Instead, keep it raised, and try to catch the ball with the hand you released it with, then reset your form and repeat the drill all without lowering your arm. If you need to take a step to catch the ball after it goes through the hoop, do so. But you shouldn't be moving for any other part of the drill. -Do this until you miss one, then swap sides and repeat the drill with the other arm. It was more difficult to explain this than I thought, but hope this helps! [/QUOTE]
