    Yeah, I agree. Its a bad form for a lot of players, but it is one of the cleanest forms I have ever seen. So much so that my form is very similar to his, without getting the finger of the ball of course.

    With point 1, loading low, i find what works for me is combining loading at chest level and then dip it low. My hand position is on the sides of the ball and my wrist turns as it goes up, as mention in your older videos. I find hand on top of the ball will give me a chicken wing. With loading at the chest and then dipping to low, i find the trajectory of the ball going straight is better.
    The palm gap thing, Dame's dad told him to do it go get rotation but Dame gets the rotation on the release as he flicks the ball. As mentioned in JJ Redick's podcast

    In my experience the palm gap is necessary for my shot. Seems the ball rolls off my fingers in a inconsistent manner without the gap.

    Hey can someone help I don’t know what’s wrong with my shot but something is causing my elbow to have a lot of pain but I don’t remember injuring it so o think it has something to do with my shot form

      its your wrist. Have a neutral wrist. Instead of having your thumb pointing to the side, have it pointing almost back at you.

    Hey Coach Castellaw, I’m a basketball player, and I just turned 13. When I shoot the ball, I have a chicken wing with my elbow. I’m right handed. I’ve seen your video about chicken wings, and my problem is my shot line. I’ve tried to fix my shot line, but I am really struggling. Do you have any tips? Also, if you have made a video on this, could you please reply with the link? Thank you.

      It happens, just keep shooting with confidence and it will come back. I've been playing for 7 years and it still happens 1 to 2 days a week.

      To the 10th degree lol… BUT it’s true, most coaches teach the opposite of what Dame and other great shooters actually do. So I figured I would blast ‘em a little 😅
