my shots getting way better now and for a set shot the guide hand touches the ball very lightly...it feels so good and perfect when i shoot a set shot now and usually i end up with a perfect swish when i shoot a set shot from inside the paint area
i still gotta work on the jumpshot though, my guide hand has less pressure on the ball now but not as much as when
i shoot a set shot..and my jumpshots are not underpowered anymore

i just learned when defending if you don't have an objective of what you want to do with the defender your gonna get beat every time, because that is what usually happens to me

Glad to hear that your shot your shot is getting better... work on your jumper.... you will need that shot.

As for defending.... I agree... have a plan as to where you want to direct the ball.... don't let him dictate or you will get beat a lot. Force the ball side line from the point and baseline... ( short corner ) from the wing.

Its Coach Mac and I'm Backkkkkkkkkkkkkk

It's about time.... WELCOME BACK!

lol, welcome back coach mac

looking good coach sar...

i finally got my jump shot together now, its basically perfect, My accuracy is already so good too,....now i just have to work on my range
I used to release my guide hand too late before which made my shots underpowered

If you are looking to improve your range.... start close - 10 feet - and work your way back... making X number of shots out of 10? 7 maybe? Pick a number, then keep moving back until you camt ,ake those shots...... then you will need to spend a lot more time at that range.

i never noticed this before but when shooting is it bad if our knees go past our toes

Ekam,

Every sport is based on GOOD balance - if you are too far forward or too far back, you can lose your balance or at the least you have to recover and get yourself balanced again, either way, it does nothing but slow you down and lower your effeciency as a player.

Test yourself.... stand with your feet together and have someone push you with one finger - chances are you will fall back.... now get into a good stance like a boxer and have him do the same thing.... you will see that you have much more control of your body. YES?? So with all that said and done, have a good balance in all parts of your game.
