Simple Trick to Evaluate Your Shooting Stroke and Quickly Improve
- By Jeff Haefner
We learned this awesome trick from Herb Magee. Herb suggests that you are wasting your time if you don't analyze your shot tendencies. And we think he's right!
By charting your "shot tendencies" you'll discover what you should really be working on.
Here's how it works:
You'll need a coach or a partner to help you out and chart your shots. You'll also need a clipboard, paper, and a pen.
Next, head to the gym and shoot a bare minimum of 50 shots. Ask your partner to chart your shots. The KEY is to chart detailed results of each shot. You will track how many shots fell short, too long, to the left, and to the right. This information will help you determine what you need to work on.
For example, if you consistently miss short (like many players do), you need to work on your power and distance control.
If you consistently miss to the right and the left, you need to fix the mechanics of your foot and/or arm alignment.
This is all about practicing SMART to optimize your efforts.
If you think about it, it's silly to go out and practice hours and hours without knowing your shot tendencies. You should probably chart tendencies every couple months.
The next step...
Want a simple and guaranteed way to develop supreme shooting confidence?
Want to learn how to quickly break bad shooting habits?
Want a step-by-step system to develop a great shot?
We'll be sharing these tips and many more in the near future. We've been fortunate enough to learn these tactics directly from some of the top shooting experts in the world. We'll be sharing the advice with you in a new eBook. It's great stuff!

I agree with hunter. You should tell us HOW to improve our power and distance control. HOW to improve foot aligning, etc....

Ive got a question. You've got an article showing shooting form. I was wondering if there was really a right way to do it. You have really good tips, but is it also right in your shot to shoot it how its comfortable to you? Reply Back, Thanks.

When I turned 13 I learned from a neurologist I was left handed. So for the past year I have been working on shooting with my left hand. I had a very good shot with my right hand but with my left hand I dont have alot of power but i can make a 18 footer consistently,but when i miss its usually to the side. I have looked at myy form and i fixed my foot alignment, but I dont know how to tell if my arm is correctly aligned or not?

I'm like marc. I have trouble shooting straight. The ball usually goes to the left or right.
