    Can you guys show Chris Pauls shooting form?

  2. ShotScience says:

    You have to consciously eliminate this habit from your shooting and the best way to do that is using the “Form Shooting Drill.” When you’re doing this drill, try jumping and landing in the same spot. You’ll have to do this many, many times to reprogram, but you can do it!

    GUN: Thanks for your comment. We appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment on our work. Stay tuned for more.

    This was an excellent video.

    mac: No problem! Just have to spend a lot of time watching him shoot. Actually, his shooting mechanics are almost identical to what we teach. Take a look.

  6. mac2xamew says:

    Can you copy how to shoot like Kobe Bryant how he do that?

  7. ShotScience says:

    TS: Not sure what your question is. Please clarify for us so we can answer.

  8. TwilightStar says:

    How do we account for the height in this?

  9. ShotScience says:

    TZ: We are glad you saw some humor, just not sure why.

    1:14 made me laugh so hard!

  11. ShotScience says:

    hmmm, strange ;)

  12. ShotScience says:

    If you don’t have good arc, then you have to work on it until it becomes second nature! Try using our “Form Shooting Drill” to get it all dialed in. We also can’t think of a scenario when you would want to change your shot to not use arc. Once you’ve dialed in your shot, you want it to be the same EVERY time you shoot!

  13. badazz876 says:

    Yeah it looks very identical .

    coltstu:
    We need to wait until we can see you shooting. It’s really difficult to guess what your problems might be.

  15. coltstu says:

  20. ShotScience says:

    Crazy: By all means! Send the video and that will help us a ton. We will analyze it for you right away.

  21. Crazyfrog797 says:

    thanks, that helps
    but i live in england
    and too get into the england squad you basically hav to hit 3s consistently
    can you maybe help me by doing a video on three shots
    and if i send a video in maybe?

  22. ShotScience says:

    Crazy: Your shot can be less effective if you get too much arc. It is a good idea to keep the apex of the arc at about 12-14 feet above the basket at its highest point. Regarding your power, its probably due to your not using your legs and having them connect with the stroke when you shoot. We have 12 yr olds who are very capable in shooting threes. Its all about using your legs. See our video on the topic. Good luck and keep us posted about your three ball.

  23. Crazyfrog797 says:

    hello,
    thanks for this video, but i try to shoot high like you hav said but sometimes hit air, i also get told im shooting to high. Being only 14 but 6″1 isit because i dont have enough power to hit threes yet?

  24. ShotScience says:
