uh do u have a hoop? If u do start close then take it further. Shoot as hard your legs can go it worked for me i shoot around 46% from 3

I have a completely different form for threes than midrange for some reason

Form shooting, i use to sit there and shoot hundreds of free throws in a row, once you can pretty much make all of them keep taking steps back until you get comfortable with shooting from there aswell, you can also do this from the wing and corner, just make sure you're free throw range, shit takes a long time bro, but it works.

Always warm up the right way. Start close and work your way out.

First and foremost, you need really good cardio and be strong enough to shoot comfortably.

But technique wise, a two part shot mid is reasonable to turn into a more push shot once you go to 3. Be conscious of your release point, you might release high on mid, but lower it a bit to make the push 1 motion shot more conducive. This ofc ties into your strength: it’s hard to shoot 3s so lowering ur shot form makes more forward velocity and less height.

And of course fingers in the cookie jar follow through

Try lowering your release point, you can’t shoot 3s the same way you shoot a mid range due to the distance

Practice. I shoot 50 threes from each spot on the three point line. I shoot about 300 makes a day

To the people saying do this to your shot is wrong. There is no perfect basketball form. It’s all about follow thru tho . When you release your shot make sure your elbows are at full extend then You build muscle memory

Shooting is more legs than arms, cardio and squats to get more push

I would suggest to get stronger. I had my 3pt issues but getting stronger solved inconsistent shooting for me. Especially core strength.

Practice all kinds of 3’s. Catch and shoot, off the dribble, pull up and from the major spots - corners, top of the key and wings.

No way around it, just tons and tons of proper repetition. Make sure your form still holds together well from distance.

Take open shots don't force it also this has always worked 250 500 makes a day

Reggie Miller said he made 700 before a game

shoot

How old are you? Most younger guys just aren't strong enough yet to shoot threes and just completely mess up their mechanics trying to get there. If you have to mess up your form to get enough "oomph" on the ball to make a three (squatting like a toad, two handing it, etc) you just shouldn't worry about shooting 3s . Heck I was in my mid teens before I could shoot 3s without shooting it like a girl lol.

(Side note playing by 1s and 2s is the dumbest thing to happen to pickup ball haha)

All 3pt shots or can be a combination of middy and layups?

Make sure your form is solid, practice shooting when you’re fatigued. There’s a reason basketball practices often run sprints and shoot free throws together.

Train how to shoot when you're tired. The way I would do it back then was to do suicides every time I miss two in a row.

The shots will get tougher, and tougher, but that's the point.

One thing people take for granted is that during actual games, you will likely exert more energy than how you usually do in training. You need to train with in-game speed, if possible.

That being said, shooting is technique first, and muscle memory helps you to follow through that. So, get your techniques right, and then shoot plenty.

Sit in your shot, you’re not getting enough leg power. you could also be leaning forward when sitting in your shot which sends your power horizontally rather than vertical, this leads to hitting the front of the rim typically.

Nice. I've been there - gotta just make the 3 respectable enough to get them to come out and guard you and open up the rest of your game.

For me the answer was I had to just get a little stronger, but I was a freaking long lanky twig with no muscle. That's the answer for a lot of people coming up short on 3s and nobody wants to hear it haha. YMMV, that's just one possibility.

What I did to get a stronger shot workout wise were pushups, tricep extensions, and squats.

Don't forget to also check your mechanics wether the sequence of your shot is correct, study Luka's form as it perfectly demonstrates the sequencing in slow motion. Also work on form shooting within the midrange, and when you get your mechanics down just go out to the 3.

And lastly is to practice your three ball, you can't get better results if you dont practice your three ball.

how short is short? I’ve coached players 11-12yo who are 5’3 ish they can shoot from the Fiba three with no issues. it’s about flow (energy transfer)

The biggest thing that helped me with this is shooting without jumping from as far as possible. Keep your regular form, use your legs, and notice when your form is going bad or you’re just chucking with arms. Maybe start a step back from the FT line. In a few months, or whenever those are feeling too easy, take another step back. I’m currently about a foot back of the three point line, working to get range.

Build your range, you need to be a shooter first then a 3P shooter. The Ray Allen drill is good for that. Essentially you keep trying to shoot from the middle of the basket and move backwards until you miss.

You start very close to the basket with one hand, only your shooting motion. You make three in a row and move a step back. If you miss 3 in a row that’s your range. You reset from close to the basket adding your left hand but without jumping. Make theee in a row and take a step back until your range. Then reset and do the full jumping form, including jump.

Then after that you can keep doing jump shots within that range if you want but this should take you a good 15-20 min.

You look like you’re doing all the stages of shooting one at a time instead of in one motion. Needs to be more fluid. Probably good in the mid range because you can aim enough to make up for poor mechanics. The longer the shot, the more deviation will play a role.

Which means, start with the basics. Once you get everything fluid, the three ball is just about practice.

100 shots a day brother. No matter what drills you do, it won't replace reps.

you're not using your legs for power - you need to use your legs for power

Go get reps. Go shoot 200 3’s from all over. You will be exhausted if you do it with enthusiasm. Track how many you miss. Then tomorrow go shoot 200 more.

can i send a video of my jumpshot to anyone i would like to see what is good and what i can do better

Not the greatest shooter any more but try ya form

Is your jumpshot one motion or 2 motion? One motion is better for longer range, 2 motion is better for mid range and off the dribble pull ups

Dame’s answer https://youtu.be/uxQ6joVCT0U

it’s very likely your form becomes whack out at the 3pt line. upload some videos

start at a range where you can hit 3 in a row. Back out a few steps. Keep shooting. If you miss 3 in a row step forward. If you make 3 in a row backup a few steps.

Increase to 5 when you are ready, then more.

There is no fast way to get good at shooting. From an elapsed time point of view you can get better at shooting by practicing hours/day and making hundreds of shots per day. And I mean making, not taking.

First step: get out of this “shortest time possible” mindset. Are you in a rush because you have tryouts or are starting a league soon? Not worth it. You can always get into those later at some point. Creating a rushed form and biomechanics is not gonna be worth it.

Ask Allen Iverson he’ll tell you in one word what you need to do

Sorry no short term solutions ive been there

Its about acceleration. The ball has to accelerate to a certain speed in the small amount of time you are shooting it. It’s not about strength its about quickness. Jump less, shoot faster, and make sure your guide hand isn’t dragging on the ball either. Good luck.

not sure if this will help but i noticed flicking your wrist really hard helps me tons. I can shoot with barely using my actual arms to push the ball up by flicking my wrist hard

It's more about form and efficient transfer of energy than muscle strength. You probably need to get under the ball a bit more and use your legs more efficiently.

A lot of the force comes from your bottom half, make sure you bend your knees to a fair amount, especially if you seem to be airballing

Shooting the 3 ball takes time. You need to build your leg strength. However ask yourself how good is your mid range? Can you consistently know down 18footers? Can you make free throws consistently? Shooting the 3 ball will come, but you have to work on the mid range first.
