CORRECT HAND
PLACEMENT
BALANCE
SITTING OR FLOOR
SHOOTING DRILL FORM SHOOTING
DIRECTION
The shooter should place
his/her strong hand within one
of the squares and his/her guide
hand directly in the square to the
right or left, depending on hand
dominance.
The shooter will know if he/she
has proper balance and elbow
alignment if the yellow corners
are level and the black straps on
the left and right are straight up
and down.
1- The shooter should isolate
his/her body by sitting in a
chair or lying on his/her back.
2- Using only his/her strong
hand, the shooter should
hold the ball in a shooting
position with his/her elbow
in, making sure the ball is
balanced. The shooter should
use the Square Up as a visual
reference.
3- The shooter should
shoot the ball straight up
in the air, concentrating on
follow-through, the ball’s
rotation and catching the
ball at the point of release.
The shooter should use the
Square Up for feedback.
4- The shooter should continue
the drill for 5 minutes.
Once complete, repeat steps
2-4 with the assistance of his/her
guide hand.
1- The shooter should stand
1-2 feet in front of the hoop.
2- Using only his/her strong
hand, the shooter should
hold the ball in a shooting
position with his/her elbow
in, making sure the ball is
balanced and aligned with
his/her strong-side leg.
The shooter should use
the Square Up as a visual
reference.
3- Focusing on the target,
the shooter should bend
at his/her knees and in one
fluid motion extend the
legs and shoot the ball. The
shooter should concentrate
on follow-through and ball
rotation.
4- The shooter should continue
drill until he/she makes
50 shots.
Advanced players should
only count made shots that
are all net.
Once complete, repeat steps
2-4 with the assistance of
his/her guide hand.
As the shooter squares up to
the target, the Square Up strap
should be aligned with the
hoop, confirming the player
is positioned in the proper
direction. The strap should
remain aligned with the hoop
through the release and
follow-through.
The shooter will receive
instant visual feedback from
the yellow corners.
If the shooter doesn’t have
the correct release and
follow-through, the yellow
corners will not be aligned
during the ball rotation.
If the shooter has the correct
release and follow-through, the
yellow corners will be aligned,
creating what looks like a yellow
ring on the side of the ball.
