What up, coach Collin Castellaw with shot mechanics basketball today? I'm going to help teach [you] how to get steph curry range
alright So steph Curry's got insane range
He can you pretty much out to half court with the same
Mechanics as he uses on the three-point line so today what we're going to do is we're going to take a few of those tricks
and those tips
We're to see if we can [admire] your jump shot to instantly increase your shooting range today
Now before we get too [far] into it
I also want to let you [know] you can get a free copy of my number one shooting workout at the button above or the
Link in the description does the workout I use with pro players college players?
And this is a great way that you can train your jumper to be not only faster more consistent
But also have deeper range just like steps you're going to want to check that out
Now the very first thing when we think about steph curry let's start with the base of the foundation right his feet
So what you'll notice with steph is he's getting ready to shoot he shoots with what we call a tilt now
I know the old school style of [teaching] is squaring up right where we're going ten toes to the rim facing at the basket
But the issue with this is number one it creates a lot of shoulder tension and so that can cause a ton of stuff
Right it might shoulders are too tense
It's probably going to make my elbow fly
And it's probably going to be hard for me to get my hand behind the basketball two things that generally cause side to side misses
So you notice with steph is as he comes [through] and he's getting ready to shoot
His feet are slightly tilted off to the left notice how my right foots closer to the line?
Pulling this way my left foots further back from the line
Now this tilt allows his shooting hip knee shoulder elbow everything to be a perfect alignment
So he brings it up to a set point right here everything in a straight line
so [it] can release straight right if I start to square up all of a sudden everything's out of alignment and as [I]
Biomechanically bring my arm up look at my palms facing my pulse tilting this direction, right?
So what step does is he tilts his feet just a little bit so as he brings it up
Now his palm is facing more towards the hoop so we can get a perfect snap and a perfect release everything in alignment
Now with the tilt everybody's going to be a little bit different some people like Klay thompson might just like a little tiny tilt
Right nothing too big some people might like a bigger tilt, so you're going to want to experiment to find out number one
What's the most comfortable for you and number two what ends up giving you the best result?
So once you can do that, and you figure out. What works [best] for you
You're probably going to be able to increase your range by three four feet just from this one tip alone
So try that out alright, so the next thing steph curry's really good at is having to smooth one motion shot
Maybe that as he catches any raises a new shot the ball never stops from the time he catches
[two] the time he
Releases right well we see with a lot of players is they catch they bring the ball [up] and it pauses at a certain point
for too long
Most of the time this is because they bring it up and their legs are still loaded once it hits the set point well
You'll notice with Stefan is his ball hits the set point
Which is right about it as kind of an eyebrow level the ball hits his eyebrow
Right as his toes are getting ready to leave the ground
So if you freeze any you know footage of him shooting or whatever it is or you take a picture?
You notice that his toes are leaving the ground and the balls right here by his forehead, and that's awesome
Because number one he doesn't have to jump super high on this shot and number two
It allows all that momentum [from] his jump to transfer into his body into the basketball and towards the hoop, right
It's kind of like throwing an uppercut punch if I try to take my overcut punch and just start it really close to the Target
It's not going to have that much power
But instead if I can get it like a nice cock back and throw it up
Just like that you're going to get that upper momentum and the more up the momentum's the more power right you can also think of
It like hitting hitting a baseball right if I'm trying to get momentum hit of baseball
It's pretty hard to hit a [homerun] if I hold the bat out in front of me like this and then try to hit it
really quick
Instead if I can get my hips into and get that momentum and power into the shot
That's going to make it much more powerful [and] shoot in the exact same way and Stephanotis
Right so what I highly recommend you do is take a look at your own jump shot and see when the ball reaches your set
Point right your set point might be your chin might be your nose might be here for [it]. Whatever it is
See when it reaches it and if it reaches that set point when your legs are still loaded that means
It's getting there too [early], and you're killing that upper momentum, and you don't have a one motion shot again
It should hit that set [point] right when the toes are coming off of the ground so if you got your nose
Toes are coming off the ground you get your forehead toes are coming off the ground right maximize that up for momentum
And you're going to get big time range increase immediately all right
So the next thing you notice that steph does to increase his range
Is that he loads the ball a little bit lower?
now as a basketball player a lot of times you've probably taught [triple-threat] right here right the ball up by your chest and so we
Kind of start to think that this is where we should shoot from
but if you watch the f shoot most [the] time he loads the ball lower down by a stomach or by his waist [and] the
Idea is this is a game comes back to the upper momentum?
We talked about with the one motion shooting
If he can start the ball lower this travel time that the ball gets to come up [gets] to be that much more
Menem that he adds into his shot right so as he's catching the knees alone
And he's bringing it up we get this and then it loads into your shot again
It might only be like six inches [seven] inches of space
But that's a difference between a lot of power right think about the uppercut punch analogy I gave before [two] [inches] away from your Target
It's not a powerful punch, but if I can start lower and get my whole body into it
It's going to be more powerful
So it's the exact same sort of thing [so] [one] thing you can think about especially if you're younger
You can load it even lower down by your thigh if you want to a lot of coaches say don't do this
It's too slow you'll never get your shot up
But I know NBA guys I work with NBA guys that shoot with the ball down by their side
And they can still get off at the highest level of the game now once you get you know bigger stronger faster
You can bring it up a little bit. That's okay
But this is one key to secretaries and [stane] ranges that he loads the ball a little bit lower
Now the other thing you'll notice is as he loads the ball lower it brings his chest forward
So what a lot [of] players do [when] they shoot
their chest
points more up towards the Rim and so their hips don't fully load you can see if I'm bringing the ball up like this if
My hips aren't engaged. I'm losing one of the three main power like kind of motors in my shot, right?
We got my ankles knees and hips so what you can do is try to load your chest forward just like this
We're going to stick your glutes out a little bit and that's going to engage your hips and get that much more pop and power
Into your shot
so again
Key here is you want to load the ball a little bit lower and as you do you want your chest to follow the ball?
Right I always think about your body mean like a giant spring and the balls with it, so pretend
We got like a big spring and the ball is in the center of it is we load the body the ball wants to load
With it as we explode the body the [balls] going to explode as well if you do that
You're going to increase your range immediately just like steph all right
So this video helps you out feel free to hit that like button
and then in the comment section down below and let me know what sort of video you want to see next this channel for the
people by the people and are on pretty much everything off request so leave it down below and [hopefully] I'll get to it and if
You're new to shot mechanics
You're going to want to do two things and one hit that subscription button without videos every week
And they're all going to get you better
I guarantee it the second thing you're gonna wanna do is click the [button] down here
Your give you a free copy of my number-one
NBA shooting workout this shooting workout is going to change the way you think about training your jumper
And it's probably gonna help increase your shooting percentage the very first time use it so I highly [recommend] you check that out [all] right
Again, I'm coach Collin Castellaw with shot mechanical. Thanks for watching until next time black
