Answer
Here are a couple of drills you can use -

"Spins" Put your shooting side foot on a line, get your elbow over that same line, and hold the ball over the line just above your eye (which is also on the line). With just that 1 hand - shoot the ball up and out a few feet in front so that it lands on the line - (the ball should go 12-14 feet up - as high as the top of the backboard).

"Flips" Also using just 1 hand - stand in (center) front of the basket only about a foot away and shoot the ball (like you did in "flips")so that it goes in all net, w/o touching the backboard or rim.

Do these drills at least 10 times each before you practice or play. To be a really great shooter do 100 per day!

Every team needs a great shooter - these drills could change your life!

Good Luck!
