Learning how to shoot better basketball is a combination of many different things. The purpose of this article is to help one learn a few of the major factors that help improve your shot.

Your shot is has a lot to do with confidence. Even some of the best shooters in game have bad days, but what separates them from the rest? Confidence. You have to have the confidence to not remember your last shot. The only shot that matters is your next shot. One of the best ways to build confidence is to envision the ball going into the hoop. In addition always try not to hesitate. If you have an open shot shoot it.

The mechanisms of your shot are also important as well you must have proper form to improve your shooting percentage. You want to keep your elbows in but not too far in, and you want to always have the ball in the triple threat position before shooting or when receiving a pass. This means being able to take off and dribble, pass the ball, or being able to shoot the ball as well. In addition you want to always follow through when you snap your wrist. Your follow through can be one of your biggest factors in jump shooting, the set shot or the three pointer.

Although your form is important your leg strength is of equal importance as well. Your jump shot does not begin with your form or your follow through. It begins with your legs. When you take a jumper the power from your legs should transfer up and be the main source of power for your shot. If you try to use your arms to much, especially in longer shots like the three pointer. You will most likely end up pushing your shot to one side of the rim or the other. Remember Practice does not make perfect. Perfect practice makes perfect.
