Can someone explain the proper basketball shooting technique (mechanicswise)?

I know I can make a shot from beyond the arc but something in my mechanics is giving me minimum power in my shot can someone help me out by telling proper mechanics- elbows, knees, hands, wrists, anything

if your doing something wrong
your shooting will only become worse as the motion becomes muscle memory
aslo those great players with great unorthodox shots were ONLY good because they spent countless hours perfecting their game- i mean its there job- they shoot hundreds thousands of shots a day everyday for years
nash is an excellent pure shooter- so is steve kerr chris mullin umm there are siome more but i cant remeber all of them
mike bibby is one as well- raja bell and rasheed wallace are also great examples
make sure is the exact same release everytime releasing the ball faster or slower will only make your shot worse as you will have problems with your consistency
again i repeat DO NOT CHANGE THE FORCE OR SPEED OF YOU SHOT!!!! why should you have to practice two or more different releases? when it can all be the same with just added amounts of leg power?
instead shoot early in the “up” of the down up motion you make when you jump this is really the key
the earlier you shoot in the up part the more power your shot will have
don’t just “use your legs”
make sure you are getting all the power and stability you can get out of them because they are stronger than your arms

a shot needs to be simple and is repeatable
a release that can be used for all types of shots, freethrows shotst off the dribble set shots runners fadeaways shots under pressure and log range shots

when you shoot, push your arm out extending it as far as it can go with your elbow locking — this is another way to ensure consistency
if you don’t push your arm as far as it will go and your arm stops short, you will have to repeat that same partial extension – thus adding variables (or things that could go wrong) and jeopardizing consistency
DO NOT SNAP YOUR WRIST!!!!! or flick it or whatver
it is hard to maintain the exact speed ind force of the snap every time
your fingers and hand should be relaxed when you shoot
therefore your wrist will flop forward and bounce a couple of times if the locking of the elbow, the pushing of the arm to full extentsion
don’t tense up any part of your hand because you will add extra spin and add variables to your shot
if you tense up any part of your hand or fingers when you shoot.. this action must be repeated exactly every time you shoot if you want to be consistent .. which is nearly impossible
so make sure your hand is not tense almost dead
don’t change the release due to varying distances from the basket change the amount of power your legs produce

ive said this before but i really can’t stress enough how important this is… the earlier you shoot it the more power your shot will have especially for threes!!!!

you should practice you release about 5 to 8 feet from the basket whenever you can.. with no lower body power(or just a little if its not comfortable but make sure its the same amout every time) eventually if your swishing it alot close your eyes and youll feel a closer connection to the basket and your shot
you shoud be at a distance where you can shoot it every time and its a perfect swish

don’t be afraid to shoot high you should air for medium high arch- 45/50 to as much as 60 degrees
i guess its kind hard to know the degrees your shooting at
but just make sure your shot isn’t flat and don’t be afraid to shoot it up
if you ever feel you shots will be to strong just shoot it higher or release it later in the up motion of the jump (hangtime)
this clip can really demonstrate some of the concepts i have stated
The Swish Method
swish22.com
i really hope you look into the swish method because it really does work and i think is the #1 shooting method ever
after waching them i have a new understanding of shooting
and if you want confidence
this method will give you cofidence
what’s better than knowing you will make the shot

Grassroots Basketball: Intense Shooting Drills at Game Speed (DVD) $39.99 With Ganon Baker,Nike Basketball Training Specialist, Ambidextrous Shooting Coach, World-renowned Instructor and Clinician with Boo Williams,Legendary Coach, Clinician, and AAU Boys Basketball National Chairman Ganon Baker has done it again with a breakthrough shooting workout that has it all. Footwork, shooting mechanics, teaching points and drills are on display in this intense one-hour workout. On this DVD, Baker instructs youth-team players on "the lost art of shooting." Players learn how to find shots in four ways: Catch & Shoot, Shoot on the move, Dribble & Shoot and Shoot off the fake. Average players can become offensive threats by working on these four facets of shooting. Because many players waste practice time with half-hearted shots, this DVD preaches players to "practice game shots at game spots at game speed." The workout shows how the serious player can use practice time to improve his shooting and scoring ability daily. Shooting mechanics depend on "perfect feet" by pointing 10 toes to the rim. A quick "one motion" shot is demonstrated that will help players shoot quicker and straighter. Jump shot basics are covered with six superior drills, including the demanding five spot shooting drill. An underrated aspect of the game is shot faking. When the fake is short, quick and balanced, the defender becomes the victim. The Iverson Jab and the Kobe Jab are taught and used in these drills. Shooting on the move is illustrated with the Iceland drill, a new version of the elbow to elbow shooting drill. The Downscreen, L-cut, and America's play drills teach players to play without the ball and create good shots. Conditioning plays a part in Baker's drills as seen in the Intensity Jumper chair drill and the cone drill. By incorporating multiple aspects of proper shooting, players execute combo drills to refine their skills. The workout concludes with seven shooting drills that test player's skills and intensity. The Australian 3-man 2-ball shooting drill, X-out drill, Tip & shoot, Close Out 1-on-1 drill, Chaser, and the Eastman Baseline touch drill will push players out of their comfort zones. This DVD is a value to players and coaches because of the creativity and intensity required for each drill. Players will also develop multiple ways to get open, shoot, and score. A great approach to shooting that will push the individual to improve and the team to excel. 58 minutes. 2006.
