Side to Side Hops into Turnaround Jump Shot
Face the sideline near the elbow holding the basketball. Perform 5 quick lateral side-to-side hops over a line, then rapidly rotate 90 degrees to square your hips and shoulders to the basket and elevate into a jump shot. Key points: - Stay low on the balls of your feet during the lateral hops - Keep hands pre-set on the ball in shooting position - Rotate and pop into shooting alignment without delay upon landing Common mistakes: Standing up tall during the hops or letting feet drift wide on the turn.
