In today's video, I break down one of the most controversial topics on basketball shooting and that is the "Perfect Set Point". I give you my thoughts on what is truly the best option when it comes to your own basketball shooting mechanics, and how the basketball training industry as a whole has the entire topic of basketball set point timing COMPLETELY WRONG! Make sure you pay close attention because set point timing is oftentimes a huge issue for a ton of young players! I give you 3 Pro-level shooting tips to help you instantly make more shots, while fixing your own set point timing. These simple basketball shooting techniques are super easy to implement for players at every level. By implementing these tips into your game you can almost immediately skyrocket your shooting percentage!
My first talking point I dive in and explain to you what a set point is when shooting a basketball. Understanding a good setpoint vs a bad setpoint is super important when trying to self diagnose whether or not your set point is dialed in. I explain how set point timing is different from player to player, there are numerous reasons why set point timing is different for all players. Typically the player's size and athleticism is a huge part in differing set points. We look at an example of some of the best players in the NBA guys like Lebron James, and Lakers great Kobe Bryant both had set points that were above their head, but when we look at their size and athleticism they can both get away with a much higher set point than most people. I also give you some examples of the best shooter in the NBA having relatively low setpoints guys like Stephen Curry, Damian Lillard, and Trae Young. The reason for this is because they need a little more force to really shoot with peak fluidity from 3 point range. So the biggest thing that most players need to focus on is to stop worrying about where you think your set point needs to be because the facts of the matter are that even players at the highest level of the game have different set points.
My second pro tip to help you instantly make more shots while making sure you have a set point that is optimized for your size and age is that "A low setpoint isn't always bad" This is something we see a lot of the best shooters in the world implement into their game guys like Stephen Curry and Damian Lillard. They both have relatively low setpoints, however, both are elite shooters and can essentially get their shot off whenever they want no matter who the defender is. A big misconception in shooting is that if you have a low set point you are more susceptible to getting your shot blocked. What we have learned from years of studying the best shooters in the NBA and all over the world is that that myth is simply not true. The more important factor when it comes to shooting the ball and not getting your shot blocked is your shot preparation. If your shot prep is dialed in you will never get your shot blocked. So make sure you are working on your shot preparation if you want to really optimize your basketball shooting mechanics.
My last shooting tip to help you instantly make more shots is "Confidence"! Confidence is something we see in ALL of the great shooter's guys like James Harden and Damian Lillard do a great job of trusting their preparation so when they are needed to hit daggers in the game it comes easy to them. The truth of the matter is if you are wanting to become the best possible player you can be you need to put in the work to get to gain the confidence to hit big shots. As I say in the video reps + success = CONFIDENCE. Make sure to implement these pro secrets to lights out shooting into your game today!

What if u dont have a set point? Would still be able to shoot.
I have a question and I want to know your answer sir
Is a two motion shot only use for the top of your head or can it be use anywhere else??????
Outdoor b-ball tips would be nice for those of us that can’t get to a gym. Example like shoes , ball and even workouts for conditioning.
Yes cause i only play outside
Same
Lil Sami I appreciate your concern but here in South Jersey in my area there are no indoor gyms like that open to the public like a 24 hour fitness in North Jersey or California we too small I guess of an area
@Lil SamiBecause there are no gyms where I live. We barely have the outdoor court for training.
Have shoes that are durable good strong rubber and good cushion so you can't use shoes with court feel or your knees and ankles will take all the pain and make sure the materials on the shoe are durable some really great outdoor brands are li-ning anta and some Nikes
I believe that most players should have about 2 types of jump shot one being outside at the 3 and another for inside
i've heard that before too but how often do you think it would cause inconsistency?
@@beatmajinsephiroth it may cause some inconsistency, however, I think players will adapt. I've taught a few players using this kind of way and it seems to have worked for them since they are young. With the 3 points the have a lower set point while their inside shot has a bit higher set point.
@@blastu99 nice thanks for replying, I'll have to try it out with some of my players. what types of drills do you run for inside shots? Ive tried the drib pull up with a close out. seems to get in their minds to "hang" in the air a little bit longer
Yeah ur right like for fade aways it’s Better to have a two motion shot because your gonna pause and then shoot it and it’s good to have a one motion shot for the 3 because it’s fast and effortless stroke
Nope, exactly the opposite, u should have the exact same just raise jor follow through as u get closer
Thank you shotmechanic. Because of you I've improved in shooting and ball-handeling
Thanks for clearing a huge misconception of what to see in a shot. I see people crank shots without pulling up and wondered the training or progression to why people can feel the accuracy a shot can be setup while being pressured close by or against a standing block
Nice work breaking down these misconceptions. I used to watch a shit ton of Rick Torbett Better Basketball DVDs and he swore that shooting ten toes to the rim was the only way to shoot perfectly. Coaches like Chip engelland also teaches this but it really depends on what's comfortable for the player. The same goes for set points.
Doesn't the set point also change with respect to your distance to the hoop? Arm strength is generally enough for mid-range shots (for grown-ups) and they are also mostly contested by D, so set point gets higher naturally. For 3-pointers with enough space from D, set point is lower and shot is on the way up.
I tried this shooting workout and it actually works
Thx Coach
Thank you! I found a good set point. Can you do a video for a good release im struggling with my release
Shot mechanics your the BEST BASKETBALL TEACHER THANK YOU YOUR THE BEST YOUR PUSHING ME TO FOLLOW MY DREAM TO BECOME A BASKETBALL PLAYER GOING TO THE NBA THANK YOU,FOR YOUR HARD WORK KEEP GRINDING
Thank you so much ... you are really helping me ... you gave me hope
Man just jeep doing this
Can you do a vid or some advice on why my head goes back when I shoot and forces my shot to be split into a slow motion
love your workouts!!
Hey I know this is a little different but can you do a tutorial breakdown Joel Embiid or Shaq scoring inside the paint?
i have a low set point but I've always had a rip hamilton mid range game and i always tried to jump high while releasing quick at the same time like JJ redick. i realized that if i wanted to be more productive i could either make my set point higher so i can get those middies off more often- or expand my range. now i shoot more threes than ever before. like i dont really pull up as much any more in ISO because i know i have range now.
point is, your set point only matters depending on what type of player you're gonna be. if you're ok with taking only wide open shots then by all means, you can be a shawn marion. but if you want to post fadeaway like kobe, a higher set point is kinda necessary for that style of play.
well said
I KNOW I'm the oldest here. 65 and I shoot every day. My natural set point is way over my head but I'm trying to max out distance with a lower one. Release off the hand is the issue for me. More palm on the ball and rolling it off my hand as opposed to pushing it with my hand is what I'm striving for. Hard to teach an old dog.
Cool, i hope i still hoop when im 65!
Thanks coach 👍😊
great video ‼️ valid info
Congrats Coach, great content as always! May you please consider making a video about the finger spreading of the shooting hand, or a tutorial for Michael Jordan's 1 dribble lethal pull up jumper? Thanks for reading my comment and keep it up
I'm back love your vids noti gang
Can you make a video on how to get good backspin when I shoot
I have two set points. My set point is a little higher in the midrange than the three point line
Same I've seen it is a little common
Sammeeee I thought I had a problem
I think that’s a bit normal as midrange u need less power and more arc so u higher it so it doesn’t have as much power
@@kaisrafiq9811 yeah but that doesn’t build consistency and messes with your muscle memory
Thank you mr coach ❤❤❤
Im working now on my Mastery on pull up and 3 shots😊
Should my set point change based on the distance to basket? Or should I try to pick one set point and ensure all my shots fit to that set point
Can you make an off hand layup and dribbling tips
Shotmachanics is the best.he is like the coach I never had
Daniel Nikoe that made my day!
Thank you it would be the best thing in the world if I can meet you
thanks!
Facts!!
Can you do a video on how to get a good flick in your jump shot
I even struggling on finding my fit set point, I somehow Shooting like Lebron/Kobe on perimeter and Shoot like steph on three... I really need to harmonized my shot I want a consistency.. my bad, I've been struggling for years..
F Grizz31 that’s ok u just have to jump shots I learned that having a two motion shot like LeBron or Kobe for mid range is ok but a shot like stephs which is one motion from three is great for power and rhythm from three.
Thanksss
I might try to focus on doing that thanks
No problem watch a video on why u should have two jump shots it helped me now people call me young curry😭🏀
Wow Good Video
well the thing is that i feel like my shot technique is wrong, so i tried to do the original technique, but my shot goes pretty weak and doesn't make it to the basket (and has mega backspin on it) no matter how quickly i flick my wrist, the ball still won't make it to the basket if i shoot a 3-pointer, so idk how to address the flaw in my shooting form. like when i use my own technique i don't have a setpoint i just do one single motion from the bottom and onto the target. that's the only way i make shots but it's pretty inconsistent, i haven't found a way to fix my technique yet, so i'd appreciate the help of anyone that got what's wrong abt my technique, thanks a lot ❤️
How is this channel not at 1M subs?
I’m a starter for my school bball team and my teammates are all hogs and don’t pass me the ball all they want to do is score . Is there anything I can do to help get the ball more. I’m also not very confident since I don’t get the ball much, but I’m a very good shooter compared to all of them and left handed which they just ignore.
You are probably out of HS by now, but, hustle more in transition, be the best defender, improve boxing out/crashing and rebounding, be extra vocal on defense. Make purposeful cuts and set great screens, be the 1st in the gym and the last to leave. Lead by example. Destroy everyone in conditioning. Dive for loose balls. And cheer everyone on with positivity and encouragement, even in practice or for seemingly small things.
And you will become the true captain of the team while earning respect. Then, you won't need the ball, because it will find you.
I think my jump shot has a too high of a arc cuz I broke the speaker hanging from the roof
LOL
MythicalShots my parents had to buy a 450$ speaker bruh 😂
Jr Smith LMAOOO RIP 😭

"Flight entered the chat"
I have a set point by my chin and I am 13 and tall for my age at 5 foot 11 is that bad?
Can somebody help me? I don’t have a set point because I bring the ball as an arc from the leg, but I end up pushing the ball forward. I’ve tried having a setpoint but the shot felt too slow… is it normal or I need to change? Because it looks different
Having a healthy set point will slow your shot down, but you are actually shooting correctly now. With practice it will speed back up. And you should now re-learn what an open shot is, by also working on creating better space, feeling the defense with your legs, and attacking from all 3 levels, as to be difficult to figure out. Tempo changes is also key in getting space.
I am 13 .what should be my set point. I want your opinion
I have a set point above my head (its a catapult) when I try to push the ball i can't make anything
im 16 yo and my set point is like the trae young, im 6’2 and about 160lbs, do u think i’ll get my set point higher with age and should not care about that?
Yeah don’t worry about it
I don't get what a set point even is. Like I got a decent 3 and I play every once in a while. Do you shoot the ball from the exact spot you hold it? Like for example eye level and you just release it at that point? I don't get it
Yes, exactly. As opposed to not having a set point and shooting through it. Which will make your shot consistently inaccurate.
I wanna raise my set point because I want a smooth pull up jumper. Any tips
Raise it to just at your forehead. Where you can see the rim still. Lift the ball and aim for the front rim or links/hooks on the rim. Do not rely on form, focus on where the ball is going.
is it bad if my setpoint is to the left. i’ve tried changing it and it just goes back to that
Its not bad you see players like KD and lebron have their shot on the left side but as long as your elbow doesn't stick out and you make your shots
I set point is at my neck lmao
Can u do a sharife cooper shooting breakdown😀😀thanks😂👍👍
lil deoderent he can’t shoot though
@@mikeloughnane5645 yeah he can he shot 30 % from 3
lil deoderent 30% from 3 for a point guard is awful. The lowest percentage in NBA history (on minimum 2000 attempts) is 27%, and that was by Charles Barkley. Plus he has a low set point and terrible mechanics
@@mikeloughnane5645 he hits shots when he needs to. Also steph, kyrie and other 3 point shooters have low set points
lil deoderent he hits shots on the highlights which is all you watch. Everyone seems like a great shooter on a highlight film. And Kyrie and Curry’s setpoints are high above their eyes while Sharife Cooper’s is at his chin. Plus Kyrie and Steph both have great mechanic while Cooper has pretty awful mechanics
this helped a lot thx im11
I'm currently working on my shot and my setpoint is extremely low, and even though I feel like I'm raising it, nothing happens, please help
Get set by getting on the balls of your feet, then start your set point between the upper chest and top of forehead...make adjustments...set point is about lifting the ball up, this will force you to go in a upward direction, aim for the front rim or the links on the rim. Focus on hand/eye coordination, not form. You are welcome.
Make me a video shotmechanics how to shot a basket im 15 years old 5.3 height
Avessss
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👌
High set point is better... sight the basket under the ball... low set point = chucker
Correcto
My set point is my chest and I release it from my chest with a chicken wing it looks so ugly and it’s inconsistent I’m 14 and I don’t think my strength is the problem
beat in the vid?
Rod's YNW
Just sitting here letting the ads play so coach gets some extra ad revenue 💵 👍
Where are the NBA player workouts
What's the name of that instrumental on the background?
Mine is above my head , been that way since I was 12 im 28 now lol
I shoot from my chest. I’m 14. But it just requires so much strength to shoot a set point from my head and aboveS
I’m also 14 and my set point is near my forehead
High set point is better... low set point shooters have a much harder time getting shots off... the best shooters (Men and Women shoot with a high set point) Larry Bird, Kevin Durant, Klay Thompson, Ray Allen, Kobe, Lebron, Luka...lol
...Shaq's shooting secrets?? what about Giannis or Ben Simmons shooting secrets?
🤣
For me 3:17
I am 13 and very tall
Is 13 years old realease ing by ur chin good?
I've never even heard of a "set point" until today. The myths this guy is referring is not in regards to the set point, its the release, where you release the ball. Are you releasing it over your head or are you releasing infront of your head. A set point shouldn't even be a real thing! Said even by this guy, it doesn't matter where your set point is. High release on the other hand.. is better, take for example every single basketball player that goes to the free throw line, they have a higher release. It's mechanics, less room for error.
Perfect Set Point is a Key
This guy is absolutely incorrect a low set point does not work past elementary level for nearly everyone. I like how he points out Curry lol a one in a million example. Set point should be high.
Bruh
sooo..... we aren't gonna talk about how his dude never, ever misses?
Kobe Bryant...
I shoot from my groins
I came here bc my set point was at my forehead, i thought the lower, the better....
I was trying to shoot then I figured out that my set point is high.
Bro this dude talking ab shooting form but he has the most whack jumper...but I mean if it’s going in
Or 46 years old 🤫
Am I first
First
16 5,10 not that strong 😭
stephen curry had to raise his setpoint to get his shot off.
Nooo pleaase go back to the old thumbnails!!!!
You could be 20 yrs old or you can be 13 (thinking to my self he got my age)
You haven’t pinned anyone in a while 🤷🏼♂️
Stop
CREEPER
Man what is the perfect set point for a 13 year old?
At your forehead, but make adjustments lower if needed. Lift ball up from that set point and guide it to the front rim. Make sure you are on the balls of your feet too. Thank me later.
