Shooting Form Breakdown: How to Get the Perfect Arc

A higher, softer arc gives you a bigger target and more friendly bounces. Focus on:

  1. Stance & base: Feet shoulder‑width, knees soft, toes slightly open.
  2. Grip: Shooting hand centered, guide hand light—no thumb flick.
  3. Release: Elbow under ball; extend smoothly with snap at the wrist.
  4. Follow‑through: Hold it. Fingers point to the rim; land in same spot.

Drills: one‑hand form shots (5×10), arc swish challenge (backspin focus), free‑throw routine (3×10).
