How To Get Into Your Shot Faster | Develop An Elite Pickup | 100 Makes

Perform close-range form shooting directly in front of the rim and from both short angles, focusing on clean wrist release, arc, and follow-through for 5 makes at each spot. Key points: - Maintain clean one-motion shooting mechanics - Hold follow-through until the ball goes through the net - Lock eyes on the front-to-middle of the rim Common mistakes: Rushing release or using excessive guide-hand thumb flick on close-range shots.

Execute a hard pound dribble followed by two continuous between-the-legs dribbles while retreating, then plant your feet and rise into a mid-range jump shot. Key points: - Pound the ball forcefully and stay low on the retreat - Transfer momentum smoothly from backward retreat into upward elevation - Keep shoulders square to the hoop on the gather Common mistakes: Fading backward excessively on the shot due to unmanaged retreat momentum.

Deliver a heavy pound dribble into an immediate sharp crossover below knee level, gather quickly, and elevate into your jump shot. Key points: - Make the crossover quick, low, and wide - Pop your feet into a balanced base instantly as the ball hits the shooting hand - Rise up with balance and hold follow-through Common mistakes: Crossing over too high or letting the ball float, delaying the gather.

Execute two between-the-legs dribbles followed by a behind-the-back dribble while actively shifting your weight, then gather directly into an explosive jump shot. Key points: - Exaggerate lateral weight shift to sell the hesitation move - Keep the behind-the-back dribble low below hip level - Snap the ball cleanly to your shooting pocket without an extra hitch Common mistakes: Standing up tall during the weight shift or drifting laterally on release.

Chain a between-the-legs cross into a pound between-the-legs while shifting body weight, planting quickly into your shot. Key points: - Maintain continuous rhythm through the four-dribble combination - Drop hips low on the weight shift - Gather into your shot pocket on the final between-the-legs bounce Common mistakes: Losing ball control on the secondary between-the-legs transition.

Perform a pound dribble, an in-and-out V-pound dribble, and an explosive push-out dribble downhill to separate before pulling up into a mid-range jumper. Key points: - Explode forward off the push-out dribble to cover ground - Decelerate aggressively with a strong 1-2 foot plant - Rise vertically without carrying forward momentum into the shot Common mistakes: Rushing the shot while leaning forward during deceleration.

Start with a pound, transition into a V-pound dribble, and execute an aggressive crossover driving toward the middle of the floor into a pull-up jumper. Key points: - Sell the drive baseline/outside before crossing toward the nail - Plant hard off the outside foot to stop lateral momentum - Square torso to the rim at peak elevation Common mistakes: Allowing the crossover to loop too wide or high.

Drift toward the middle with an active lateral dribble, execute a quick between-the-legs pickup, and immediately elevate into the jump shot. Key points: - Dribble laterally while keeping chest facing forward - Execute a snappy between-the-legs gather directly into shooting alignment - Release the ball at apex with maximum fluidity Common mistakes: Fading laterally on the jumper instead of stopping momentum and rising straight up.
