    A lot of you guys are wondering how he shoots so far without changing his form and losing accuracy. The reason he can shoot so deep and is still accurate when doing so is because of how he uses his feet and glutes. You're not supposed to bend your knees and get as low as you can, that would ruin your accuracy, increase your chances of getting blocked, and allow the defender to react to your shot quicker. Your arms and wrist are only for accuracy, your legs are for power, so don't go to the gym working out your arms more. Step one, when in your shooting form, keep your heels off the ground at least an inch or an inch and a half off the ground or more depending on your height. Step two, DO NOT bend your knees too much. Imagine your legs as a flat plane, your knees being the vertex, bend your knees at about 160 degrees only. It should NEVER be anywhere near 90 degrees how some coaches tell you to do. Step two is crucial to step three. Step 3, squeeze your glutes as your are stepping/hopping into your shot, which ever is more comfortable. I know you're a little skeptical of when I say DO NOT bend your knees too much because every coach you've ever had has told you that your power comes from your legs and to get that power, you should bend your knees. But what you heard is wrong. Coaches don't know anything about anatomy. When you bend your knees, the power you are getting comes from your quads, but why would you use your quads to shoot if your glutes are more powerful? Shooting while contracting your glutes will give you more power, take less time than bending your knees, which gives the defender less time to react to your shot, giving the defender less chance to block you. This will also increase your arc because your body and arms will be going in an upwards motion. I hope this helps with your range and power issues! And don't criticize this before you try it and follow the steps correctly. If you notice when Steph is shooting in practice how he barely jumps up yet still shoots far, that's because he uses power from contracting his glutes, which gives him tons of power without much effort.

      Wait so do you basically mean to use your front foot predominantly when shooting? I don't know about quads and glutes lol

    • @akid8051
      @akid8051 Před 7 lety +10

      Sargint Reznor No, that doesn't mean you should put most of your weight on your right foot. What I mean about glutes is that you contract your glutes as you begin to shoot. You won't jump that high, but you'll get a lot of power from your glutes.

    • @jgoogle4256
      @jgoogle4256 Před 7 lety

      I looked up the word glute and it turns out it's short for gluteus, is it a thigh muscle? That's what Google says but I can't imagine shooting with my thighs lol

  • @ephedra443
    @ephedra443 Před 8 lety +287

    The key to his shooting motion is timing. Its not that hard to imitate his hand position and his set point. Whats hard is the timing. His timing is impeccable, he brings it up to his forehead and then starts jumping while most people start jumping immediately. Just try to do it, its so hard to do cause your body automatically starts jumping when you start moving your hands. See what I'm talking about at 5:20

    • @SplashLabBasketball

    something I've also noticed is how relaxed and cool he is, I've found that missing often results from overthinking, which is exactly the opposite of what Steph is doing, it's like shooting is second nature for him, incredible.

  • @jesusdiedforyou7779
    @jesusdiedforyou7779 Před 7 lety +51

    Stephen Curry may very well be the greatest shooter of all time. His shot is so smooth, it never stops or hitches. This gives him speed to shoot out of tough situations quickly. His follow through is high which gives him a high arc, even from long distances. This maximizes the area of the rim which the ball can pass through, which heavily increases accuracy. He's so deadly, not only is he making more threes than anyone else in the span of a season, he's also doing this at a very high percentage. Stephen is the NBA'S greatest shooter, there is no doubt about it.

  • @lilmixdboy
    @lilmixdboy Před 7 lety +27

    Ive practiced this. The key to gettin his effortless release type is at 5:20. A single motion chuck. You have to gather the ball before you jump off and kind of push/shove your release straight.
    Everything else for example arm form, finger release, can stay whatever has been unique for you. This is the main component

    • @NinjaCreeper23
      @NinjaCreeper23 Před 8 lety +36

      +Soul HD smaller people shoot better one motion than two motion because it requires less strength, and doesn't require you to jump as high since the energy is shared (I'm a 5'6" midgit in u14 Uk National league)

      @slewisevo Před 8 lety +10

      +Xx_MrFister_xX Agree with the replies above. Also, shooting square to the basket with elbow tucked and releasing square to the top of your head, puts your shoulder and wrist in an un-natural position. your wrist natural hangs square to your shoulder and your hand hangs squarely from your wrist. So aligning your feet as Steph does, helps to maintain all of that

  • @christislord6136
    @christislord6136 Před 2 lety +20

    Best shooting advice is this: shoot whatever way feels comfortable for you. Curry is the best, but imitating his form guarantees you nothing. He has shot this way for so long, so many times, it's carved into his DNA. He will always pull up like that without thinking. Shoot however you want, just be sure to do it for hours a day and you'll have a solid jumper regardless of your form. Awesome video though, interesting stuff. Crooked feet and all, this guy just doesn't miss. Impressive truly

    • @Vince-ko9bj
      @Vince-ko9bj Před 2 lety +2

      There definitely are some things you can take from the way Steph shoots but yeah it matters on how you shoot, everyone is different and the main reason why Curry is so good is his perfect size, while it's mainly talent that makes him good unlike alot of other NBA players that rely on their build, Curry is able to combine his incredible talent and perfect size to make the best shooter anyone has seen

I literally went to the park and took 1000 shots a week using the tips i learned from this video. I gotten to a point that in the mens league i played in I had a game i hit 9 three pointers in a game and another 8 threes two other games . This video single handily changed my shooting for the good. Thank you

  • @Smoothways
    @Smoothways Před 9 lety +20

    the magic comes throuhg the snap of the wrist. Everything else is there to maintain the same routine and ballance. But the wrist is where he gets his distance from. Of course in order to maintain the same routine over and over again he has been through countless sessions. If you watch the E.60 strip you will find Curry one year practising on his shot to raise it from his waiste above his right eye. Progress is much faster when you are young but discipline very rare at this age. I myself am going through a daily shooting routine of about 1-2h recorded on film to observe my form and monitor my progress. Of course in order to keep up the form throughout the whole of the game you need physical as well as mental strength. I am strongly heading for 50 so why am I donig this now? 1) I have fallen in love with BB very late - just about 10 years ago. 2) The game is only fun if you have the right technique. If you play the PG position these days more than ever you need a good shot from the outside, otherwise you can not get past your defender. He will stay clear of you and stop your drive. But if your shot is money in the bank he has to come close and then with one fast step you can drive by. BB is a game where you need at least 2 options in offence in order to be difficult to guard.

      @pauladeleke8684 Před 8 lety

    • @Wabbajaxe
      @Wabbajaxe Před 8 lety

      Paul Adeleke I never pointed out where the power comes from. Everyone knows that power comes from down under, but that ability to shoot accurately farther than most NBA players is from the turn of his body. You can have all the power in your legs, but if your body is as stiff as a board, then don't expect to be a shooter at all.

    Quite honestly, Curry's jumper goes against many aspects of textbook form: shoulders/feet not square, doesn't go straight up and down, begins his form at is waist, etc. However, it's probably better for the average Joe to shoot like him since it draws a bit more power out of the stroke, making it easier for guys who aren't super big strong guys (like Curry himself) to shoot from farther. Either way, can't argue with the results!

    • @tommynobaka
      @tommynobaka Před 8 lety +1

      If you look at any nba players' form, no good shooters shoot up and down with their feet squared to the basket, it is actually beneficial to turn your feet and sweep and sway on your jump shot. The sweep and sway gives more arc on the shot and the turn aligns your elbow with the basket.

    • @tomsweeney3409

      Kyle Korver is the closest shooter with feet towards the basket, and he isn't even square.

      +Soundtallica in Chains And thats probably because most of these "textbook" forms are exactly what they are : text book, and quite outdated/wrong. Look up "Pro shot shooting system" if you have not already, they really sold me on the "new" more accurate way of teaching shooting, reflecting what great shooters actually do (the turn, dip, sweep and sway etc...).

    Something important to remember is that repetition is just as important as form. Curry's form is not what most shooting teachers would teach younger kids. He more than likely is the best shooter in the game because of repetition. He found a form that worked for him and does it the exact same way over and over again.

    People say that the thumb flick on the guide hand is bad, but you can clearly see here that Curry does it to a degree. Now that I think of it, a couple of other legendary NBA shooters, Ray Allen and Reggie Miller, do it too. Kevin Love is a good shooter and he also flicks his thumb a lot in his shot. Is the thumb flick really that bad? Seems to work for the the three best shooters in NBA history...

    • @FoxyChariot
      @FoxyChariot Před 6 lety

      Soundtallica in Chains Nearly everyone thumb flicks with the off hand. Adds power plus stability as the ball traverses the air. Key is not to overdo it because that will create a shooting form that is difficult to recreate on a consistent basis.

    • @DrProfessorWeed
      @DrProfessorWeed Před 8 lety +3

      +SuperToasty I think it has to do more with the ball going more on a straight path, the off hands job is to basically balance the ball so it goes straight. When you tuck your thumb in, it gives it a small forward motion that syncs with the shooting hand. It's a small detail and honestly doesn't have that much importance because I haven't found any other great shooters that consistently do this with their off hand.

      @tugul8888 Před 7 lety

      no. Everyone is taught by their coaches etc to shoot elbow straight, feet squared, ball on fingertips and not on palm. But then the greatest shooters hardly do all those things. Steph Curry shoots without squaring feet to the basket and rests in on his palm. Larry Bird, Ray Allen (among others) also had/has unorthodox shot forms. Its about whats comfortable to u.
