My brother saw the comments about his defence, and decided to make a video trying to improve! Check it out to see how our rematch went after he trained like the NBA’s best defender!! ruclips.net/video/Apyq2OBYIJE/видео.html
@@tomcar3086 I had this problem from 3 too. I’d always break form to try to get more power up but you really just have to put more power in the wrist while keeping form
When you put in the work and feel discouraged because the results don’t match the effort I always think to an analogy that Greg Popovich told the Spurs. “A sculptor can strike a stone one thousand times without result and then on the stroke one thousand and one, the stone breaks.” That has stuck with me and keeps the motivation there to push through.
I felt this same way in 10th grade. I felt like I would never master the 3 pt shot. Step forward 1 year of practicing on my own all the time. I shot 42% from 3 in 11th grade and 51% in 12th. I got 1 D-1 offer. That's all I wanted! You got this man. It just takes more time than 50 day to master. GOOD LUCK!
My shooting has improved immensely after I taught myself to shoot with my “entire body.” This sort of lines up with Steph saying to shoot “from the ground up.” This has helped me shoot way quicker off the dribble/catch, as well as improved my ability to shoot off balance shots. With off balance shots, I make sure that my feet and follow through always end up towards the rim by the time I land.
What some people don't realize is that by first learning the basics and doing them over and over and over again...once you get really good at the basics you find yourself implementing the basics in your play even when it LOOKS like you aren't - and you can adapt them to yourself and to unique situations. I had a tennis instructor who was, at one point ranked 78th among women (yeah, I know that sounds low, but for those who play tennis, that's pretty good). For weeks she had us pushing our rackets perfectly perpendicular to the ball so that we weren't "swinging" but pushing at the ball when we made contact. I wondered why because you never see a pro doing this forward straight pressing "swing". However, she was just concerned we hit the ball with the racket face perpendicular to the ball's direction - over and over and over and over again. Then, after several weeks (with some other teaching regarding swinging our racket), she stopped requiring this straight motion BUT, I was blown away, even with the racket moving in what looked like an arc (rather than a straight push) I was making shots perpendicular to the ball's movement even in when the swing LOOKED like an arc and the ball was going where I aimed. So, it may not LOOK like Steph Curry shoots like that, but he first learned the basics and then he was able to adapt those basics...
Well said. And...being in the top 100 (in the US, I think?) of any sport is insanely impressive and difficult to accomplish. Heck, it's super impressive if it's "just" top 100 in the state.
What a great and accurate response. The problem with social media is that it dumbs down the level of discussion and downward from there so that the most essential information is lost. Of course anyone with a modicum of intelligence knows that Steph’s Masterclass teaches the rudiments of good shooting technique that enables beginners to key into in order to build consistency and achieve confidence. It’s after developing confidence, a good technical foundation and a full understanding of the necessary mechanics that you can begin to improvise to achieve the same consistency from non-conventional shooting positions and angles.
This is the best video I have seen in my life. After learning for more than a month and beating your brother just made me so happy because you reached your goal.

Yeah for real, he doesn't even square to the basket. He keeps his feet turned so his elbow his aligned to the basket. That's the proper way to shoot. Feet squared from the basket is old school and way outdated.
@@mattycampy Fundamentals? 😂😂 Bruh you realize that shit originated from the 60s and 70s right? Thats why old ass coaches be teaching these kids these awful techniques and wondering why they can't shoot. And Klay also shoots with his feet turned in game, his feet are more square to the basket then Steph but again he rotates his whole body. Look at his form AFTER he shoots. His whole body is rotated. So even if he starts more squared to the hoop, he eventually rotates. This is nothing new at this point. It's common sense, look at KD, Damian Lillard, Kyrie, Joe Harris etc all good shooters and all shoot with their elbow aligned to the hoop (meaning their feet are adjusted to the side with the foot on the dominant shooting hand side being ahead of the other)
I was going to mention that. Literally every good to great shooter has a slight turn in their lower bodies which lines their hip shoulder and elbow with the center of the basket

I’m biased because I love basketball but probably my favorite video from you guys. I’ve actually been teaching my little brother how to shoot properly and he’s also had a transformation of a double handed shot into a much better one handed release. This video reminds a lot of the training and practice I had to do with him. We still shoot around everyday as now our goal is to expand his range to shooting from the free throw line with good form. Awesome to see that your shot actually looks better than your brothers and is smooth. Just some fine tweaking with letting the release hang out a little longer, starting the shot lower for more power, and footwork but it’s looking good! Also, these type of videos are awesome. I know they take waaaaay longer to film as it’s 2-3 months in the making but I enjoy these type of videos as it gives us a better look at how challenging it is to change habits from a technical standpoint and a look at the the high and lows of getting into a new hobby/goal. Congrats on the videos, new shot. Keep it up!
Great video. You made huge progress and gave us hope that hard work with knowledge equals success. One area you can continue to improve on is to keep your guide hand straight and on the ball all the way through the release. That was one of my problems and when I focused on it, it improved my shooting a lot.
For me the best way I improve was figuring out what was comfortable and then improving on little things like the movement and my wrist and base instead of trying to completely changing my shot so my shot actually felt like mine. Being comfortable with your shot is probably the most important aspect but if you are training a lot and not getting better then it is probably a good idea to make some major changes.
@jeffrychen1794his current method dose not have a ceiling. It's a good idea to work on your shot instead of copying some one else's. If you ever watch pros shoot in basketball your not going to see two players shoot the same. Everyone has difrint set points and release points. As long as your refining the fundamentals of a jump shot. Proper hip movement, wrist release etc your golden to make a jump shot your own. Look at Larry bird no one else has ever shot like him. But he was one of the greatest 3 point shooters of all time. Ceiling he says 🤣
Another thing that always helped me: Split up the learning process in two phases. 1) is perfecting technique. Don't bother if you hit or miss. Just focus on your mechanics. Try to feel your body. That's the drawing board stage. 2) Now, try to go out and just shoot. Don't think about your technique. Just focus on the rim and try to build muscle memory. The key is, your brain being devided in two major parts, which I can't properly name in English. The bigger, newer part is for analysing. Here you design your shot. It's perfectly capable of performing complicated calculations, BUT it's terribly slow. So, for the shooting itself you need the older part of your brain, which isn't as complexly interwoven, but has much higher channel speed. Or processing speed, which you need to adjust the informations coming from your fingertips to the orders you're giving to your muscles. So, think about your shot only once a week. Any other time: Just think about the rim. Ever tried to teach someone how to shoot, only to shoot an airball. That's what happens, when you try to let your cerebrum (the analytic part - I looked it up) do what your cerebellum is designed for. So, don't think. Just shoot!
That’s awesome, I always felt like you can either shoot or you can’t but I think I’ll take this challenge myself & see where it takes me. Thanks for the confidence & motivation!
@@ziwuri I disagree. The stuff that Steph teaches in the masterclass is good mechanics, and if you watch a shoot around, they are what he does. You can’t compare it to a game when he has counterbalances, and adjustments when he’s shooting.
@@ziwuri its because stephs shot has remnants of ways he must have shot wrong as a kid and things hes added that work with his body, an example is that I shoot with my toes out cuz im slightly bow legged and facing them forward/to the rim causes discomfort and ruins my shot a bit
Everytime I need a motivation I always remember this quote from Steph himself: "Make sure you live in the moment and work your butt off every single day, and I hope I inspire people all around the world to just be themselves, be humble and be grateful for all the blessings in your life." We can really say that Steph is such an inspirational guy both on and off the court. Keep the fire going bro!
Love these vids bro, keep making them full support.... The editing, progression, and narration was all excellent, content keeps getting better guys keep it up👍 one of the better videos
Man, I feel you! I had never trained in a league setting but pretty much had to play because all my cousins did. It grew on me but I was always catching L's and my shot was uuuuugly. The only thing I had going for me was being quick and driving to the basket. As I got older, slower, and fatter, I had to change up my game, and I focused on changing my ugly ass shot. I youtubed the hell out of shooting form. I sound like a commercial but what majorly worked for me was "pro shot shooting." It really shows (through game clips) how what's traditionally taught in terms of shooting form is a lot of BS (such as all 5 toes pointed to the rim, making an L with your elbow like a waiter, etc). You can actually see it in the shooting forms of the great shooters and even you started to (naturally) deviate from tradition to start looking more like the pros towards the end of your video when you were shooting 3s. Being aware of consistently doing the little things like having toes slightly slanted instead of square to the basket, staying on your toes and off the heels, dipping before the shot, index finger release, hopping and sweeping your feet, etc, really went a long way into improving my shot. I highly recommend you check out their videos. Shot Mechanics on YT is another good channel that touches on (similar) techniques not traditionally taught.
Imagine practicing even more than this for years on end, not always knowing if ur getting better. The internal mental battles are unreal. It’s tough sometimes
Props for sticking with it man. One thing I’ll tell you right now, and this is coming from a lifelong basketball player. Your form is better than stephs, because no one wants to talk about his two handed shot. Keep it up man. This is a great game. A beautiful game.
Honestly super amazing narration! It's sound like I'm watching a underdog movie and the way you show your struggles,and your mindset everyday is perfect! Great editing good morale and your drive is awesome. Honestly this video gave me motivation to start working on my 3s. I'm a mid range shooter tbh. So seeing you go through bad times and discouragement behind the arc wants me to try more. For me after 3 shots I miss I just feel trash. But you kept your head up in this video and worked. Great video man. Honestly if youtube add a video rating system this vid is 100/100 best quality video out there. This is more like a movie of success. Fantastic job!!!
Congrats! I'm doing that Masterclass as well, and it has helped for sure. I've also read Mamba Mentality, started a rec league team, play pickup, and am reading other books, and watching other clips. Way to up your game!
Love the video! Just looking at your form, you should be loading your wrist way earlier. Even when you are towards the end of your motion your wrist stays disengaged. Also, ten toes to the hoop is a pretty archaic ideal and almost every great shooter (including Steph) have a significant turn. Be more focused on aligning your hips and elbow on a straight path and not your toes. You have a decent one motion shot which is a great start! Last note, with my follow through I think about throwing my pointer and middle finger into the rim if that makes sense.
Yes! It's so crazy how great shooters don't even know how they shoot with a turn or by jumping forward. I have to imagine MasterClass wrote the script for Steph so maybe he just ran with whatever they had.
*3 Quotes to Live By:* 🔥 *1) "Don't compare yourself to someone else, compare yourself to your yesterday's self."* 🔥 *2) “You can't go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending”* 🔥 *3) "Once you decide your lifes purpose, you will only have to pack one thing: "Your Heart."*
I can really feel that frustration, from a [good percentage & bad form] to a [good pecentage & good form] I'm stuck in the [bad percentage & bad form]. I kind of gave up too early and tried reverting to my old form but after seeing this 50 days video I'm motivated agaiiin. Thumbs up.
I really don't care about Basketball but I was really interested in seeing how you progress and two things: Holy shit, Brandon looks really good at Basketball and fantastic improvement!!!
I love the video, the editing has definitely improved. As someone who has studied shooting I have a couple of suggestions to how you can improve your form. Firstly I want to point that Steph is a really good example of a talented performer but a not-so-good teacher. There are really two main things I wanted to touch on, it is the 10 toes to the basket and extending your range through dipping the ball. So in the masterclass he said to point both feet directly to the basket. This idea is an archaic form of teaching people how to shoot, basketball back then didn't utilize jumpshots, so being as parallel to the rim as possible increases the chance of making it. Unfortunately this still gets taught today, even taught by the pros even though it is the closest thing from it. From the man himself, Steph, breaks this rule on timestamps 7:35 and 8:05, and it is not because he is a pro and gets away with but because it is the natural way the body follows the shot. Cam if you pause on 12:58 and 13:04, you can already see that your right foot is leading the left both at the apex of your jump and landing. Having 10 toes facing the rim stiffens your shooting shoulder, the right and natural way is actually having your shooting elbow, hip, and shoulder pointed at the rim. Fatigued shoulders do not shoot well!!! As for the feet, keep them about 20-30 degrees pointing to the left insuring the right foot is in front. You can try this at home right now, pretending you are shooting, holding your form mid way and change from 10 toes(squaring) to slight angle with the lead foot, the difference is night and day(Yes this works for leftys too). Next he said that the mechanics of your shot remains the same whether its near the basket or 3, I do agree but it needs a bit more explaining and to put it simply, you do not use the same amount of power to shoot near the rim like you do at the 3 therefore, slight changes in your form must happen in order for your to properly get the shot in from deep. Dipping the ball is using stored energy from your legs and transferring it to your shot on the way up. Because he has a one motion shot and it really hard for non basketball fanatics to see, check out how Ray Allen shoots from the three, he does not just go into this shot from catch, he gathers by dipping the ball THEN going into his shot. Doing this allows you to bend the legs storing your energy, and syncs both upper and lower torso together to create a fluid shot on the way up. Harmony between both upper and lower torsos are what makes players deadly shooters. Again if you want to try this, from the three, have someone pass you the ball and go straight into your form, and be aware about how sticky and unconnected it feels, then from the catch, try and act like your legs are a coil and dip the ball with the legs, then go up together into the shot, I promise it will feel soooo much smoother Hope this helps anyone fix their jumpshot!!!
You know... YOU could do one of the classes yourself and actually get better at something. Rather than just watching other guys get better at things...
Good job bud I'm really really proud of you.💪 PS everyone heard the old saying before when you put your mind is something and takes practice and hard work you can do it but it takes a lot of dedication practice and time and patience no matter what you are trying to accomplish in life. If it's your reading level or getting better at basketball or any kind of sports or learning how to speak better and better sentences and to explain things to people in a perfect way. With me I suffer with chronic lyme disease I was misdiagnosed for almost a year the CDC in Madison Wisconsin denied me two times and I had all the symptoms my white blood cells and platelets were low and they are still affected. I had to go doctor the doctor to get different opinions and some doctors didn't believe in late stage or chronic lyme disease. So I put matters into my own hands and called my insurance and told them that I wasn't getting the best treatment as possible so they finally found a doctor Milwaukee Wisconsin the doctor decided to do IV antibiotics because I never got the treatment I was supposed to get 3 weeks but the doctor had to stop treatment in about 1 week because the medication was decreasing my white blood cells and my platelets even more. There's no one size fits all for any kind of treatment. And even though I am still suffering today with chronic fatigue my neck and my shoulders ache and I believe I might have fibromyalgia I lost a lot of weight currently I am 5'9 weigh 135 lb I'm not underweight but if I get about at 125 lb and that I am. And even though I can't do the things I used to do like do hard workouts for a long period of time I just need to be grateful of the Lord that is giving me every day of the blessings even if it's little ones. But I need to trust the Lord through My Savior Jesus Christ no matter what and I found a clinical trial through the NIH through Lyme disease but I don't have the funds to get there but hopefully one day I will. I know there's days where I feel so alone because sometimes I feel like I'm suffering by myself but I know there's many people suffering upon this world with different diseases and different things. And I know we're not promised tomorrow but I know Stephen Curry has a relationship with God through Jesus Christ. And even though when someone becomes a child of God a Christian you are still going to have problems and ups and downs because becoming a Christian doesn't make you think that you're not going to have things that's going to happen in life because Christians can still get diseases like cancer. I want to make this one more note Christianity is not a religion it's a relationship with God to Jesus Christ to be reconciled back to the father through Jesus. And the Lord can set us free from our mistakes our sins if more people will follow the teachings of the Lord this world will be a better place because God did Jesus Christ through his holy spirit is love. He is forgiven he's patient slow to anger he gives us Grace upon Grace upon us every day and we can do the same upon others. And the do our best to love our neighbor as ourselves even if we come across a negative person putting negative words upon us we need to remember the fruit of the Spirit and the fruit of the spirit is love joy peace patience kindness goodness faithfulness gentleness and self-control against such things there is no law. I wanted to give you another double PSPs. I'm so proud of you bud you did a good good job because that feeling when you accomplish something you have a feeling inside of you of a joyful bringing back that feeling when you was a kid opening a present that you feel like you're on the top of the world for a little bit....🔥🔥🔥
one of the things that helped me extremely much was to never stand still while shooting(unless its a freethrow) this really helped me get more buckets in games
such a good vibe ! and you would like to take your time to practice that and finally made it! your case proved that shooting is not hard but it needs patient to change it!
Hey Cam. Whenever you want to shoot farther out, you're right that you need to use your lower body more but what that masterclass didn't teach you is that you need to turn your hips when you shoot. If you look at all most top nba 3 pt shooters, even if some of them keep their feet squared to the basket, they turn as they jump midair while shooting. It makes sense -look at javalin throwers and baseball pitchers, they're not stationary throwing the object, they turn their hips to throw objects farther. Hope this helps out, love your content btw and have been watching for more than 3 years :)
Im training to improve my shot too, the Mechanics of shooting is quite interesting it has many variables but shooting fast and effective is very hard add that by been defended by one or multiple opponents. Also you need to bring the ball from below your belt that momentum helps a lot.
This was a great video man! You improved really well and I would have loved to help you break your bad follow through habit easier and without all the struggle! I (I live in Vancouver as well and have been coaching elite athletes for over a decade, so hit me up when you are working on your next athletic goal and I would love to setup you for success like an Olympian!)
Came here to say the same thing. Those park hoops (and backboards, which I believe are made of depleted uranium) are the least-forgiving setups possible. I get that some might say "Oh it forces you to shoot better", but not being able to use a backboard isn't quite real world.
That was a cool video to watch you hooked me... I started playing basketball in 10th grade never played before that ... Hardly at all . I was a skate boarder(skater) And found out I could jump really high from boarding... So with determination like yours I practiced daily shooting 500 jump shots a day and 500 free throws daily... Plus working in my foot work with platform shoes... I end up forming a team for my school A alternative school .. I also played college ball... It's crazy how a little determination can change things around..
This vid was sooo AWESOME. I lev the progress the reality check, not giving up. It was all there. Best Part: Lets Goooo!!!!! LOL. Meeting goals is something i struggle with and this helped me in my everyday life. New Subscriber for sure.

It was so good to see you start getting better. I hated seeing you down. Was cheering for you the whole video!
I'm just so happy for you. Feels like I'm playing with my brother.
For me the best way I improve was figuring out what was comfortable and then improving on little things like the movement and my wrist and base instead of trying to completely changing my shot so my shot actually felt like mine. Being comfortable with your shot is probably the most important aspect but if you are training a lot and not getting better then it is probably a good idea to make some major changes.
@jeffrychen1794his current method dose not have a ceiling. It's a good idea to work on your shot instead of copying some one else's. If you ever watch pros shoot in basketball your not going to see two players shoot the same. Everyone has difrint set points and release points. As long as your refining the fundamentals of a jump shot. Proper hip movement, wrist release etc your golden to make a jump shot your own. Look at Larry bird no one else has ever shot like him. But he was one of the greatest 3 point shooters of all time. Ceiling he says 🤣
Another thing that always helped me: Split up the learning process in two phases. 1) is perfecting technique. Don't bother if you hit or miss. Just focus on your mechanics. Try to feel your body. That's the drawing board stage. 2) Now, try to go out and just shoot. Don't think about your technique. Just focus on the rim and try to build muscle memory.
The key is, your brain being devided in two major parts, which I can't properly name in English. The bigger, newer part is for analysing. Here you design your shot. It's perfectly capable of performing complicated calculations, BUT it's terribly slow. So, for the shooting itself you need the older part of your brain, which isn't as complexly interwoven, but has much higher channel speed. Or processing speed, which you need to adjust the informations coming from your fingertips to the orders you're giving to your muscles.
So, think about your shot only once a week. Any other time: Just think about the rim.
Ever tried to teach someone how to shoot, only to shoot an airball. That's what happens, when you try to let your cerebrum (the analytic part - I looked it up) do what your cerebellum is designed for. So, don't think. Just shoot!
That’s awesome, I always felt like you can either shoot or you can’t but I think I’ll take this challenge myself & see where it takes me. Thanks for the confidence & motivation!
An Idea - Do this same video for dribbling or defence... would be an incredible video to watch.
Bro thanks for this you basically just gave us a bootleg version of Steph's masterclass complete with the drills and everything lol
Just as a note, Steph doesn't actually shoot how he teaches in the masterclass. Look up bballbreakdown steph curry shooting.
@@ziwuri I disagree. The stuff that Steph teaches in the masterclass is good mechanics, and if you watch a shoot around, they are what he does. You can’t compare it to a game when he has counterbalances, and adjustments when he’s shooting.
@@ziwuri its because stephs shot has remnants of ways he must have shot wrong as a kid and things hes added that work with his body, an example is that I shoot with my toes out cuz im slightly bow legged and facing them forward/to the rim causes discomfort and ruins my shot a bit
@@ziwuri steph can shot how he want it goes in hes a 99ovr playshot
@@ziwuri that's because steph needs tha5 momentum. He can't get the form right everytime he's on a fast break or if he's under great pressure
I see his bro is still fckin STACKED.
Yessir!
@@GoalGuys Toronto man here!
The progress was excellent, the editing was amazing the way he narrated the whole video and explained us was great.
Thanks alot.
Everytime I need a motivation I always remember this quote from Steph himself: "Make sure you live in the moment and work your butt off every single day, and I hope I inspire people all around the world to just be themselves, be humble and be grateful for all the blessings in your life."
We can really say that Steph is such an inspirational guy both on and off the court. Keep the fire going bro!
Such a great upload! Was looking forward to that final match the whole time, loved it🙌

I've been following this channel for a while and this probably my favourite video. I loved it.
Woh! Thank you!
Man, I feel you! I had never trained in a league setting but pretty much had to play because all my cousins did. It grew on me but I was always catching L's and my shot was uuuuugly. The only thing I had going for me was being quick and driving to the basket.
As I got older, slower, and fatter, I had to change up my game, and I focused on changing my ugly ass shot. I youtubed the hell out of shooting form. I sound like a commercial but what majorly worked for me was "pro shot shooting."
It really shows (through game clips) how what's traditionally taught in terms of shooting form is a lot of BS (such as all 5 toes pointed to the rim, making an L with your elbow like a waiter, etc). You can actually see it in the shooting forms of the great shooters and even you started to (naturally) deviate from tradition to start looking more like the pros towards the end of your video when you were shooting 3s.
Being aware of consistently doing the little things like having toes slightly slanted instead of square to the basket, staying on your toes and off the heels, dipping before the shot, index finger release, hopping and sweeping your feet, etc, really went a long way into improving my shot. I highly recommend you check out their videos.
Shot Mechanics on YT is another good channel that touches on (similar) techniques not traditionally taught.
Imagine practicing even more than this for years on end, not always knowing if ur getting better. The internal mental battles are unreal. It’s tough sometimes

Props for sticking with it man. One thing I’ll tell you right now, and this is coming from a lifelong basketball player. Your form is better than stephs, because no one wants to talk about his two handed shot. Keep it up man. This is a great game. A beautiful game.
Im happy to see your progress. It show how much a person can achieve in anything when there is a great sense of commitment and determination.
Honestly super amazing narration!
It's sound like I'm watching a underdog movie and the way you show your struggles,and your mindset everyday is perfect! Great editing good morale and your drive is awesome.
Honestly this video gave me motivation to start working on my 3s.
I'm a mid range shooter tbh.
So seeing you go through bad times and discouragement behind the arc wants me to try more.
For me after 3 shots I miss I just feel trash. But you kept your head up in this video and worked.
Great video man. Honestly if youtube add a video rating system this vid is 100/100 best quality video out there. This is more like a movie of success.
Fantastic job!!!
It’s crazy that I was thinking of doing this but never thought about Steph’s Masterclass! Thanks for the inspiration!
Amazing video! Deserves more views for all this hard work hope it blows up.
Thank you!!!
You got better drastically when you got consistent with your form and rhythm. Nice job
The blasphemy wearing a Nike sweater while trying to improve your shot with Steph’s masterclass is incredible… all jokes aside, great video, great job

This guy is getting better
Congrats! I'm doing that Masterclass as well, and it has helped for sure. I've also read Mamba Mentality, started a rec league team, play pickup, and am reading other books, and watching other clips.
Way to up your game!
Love the video! Just looking at your form, you should be loading your wrist way earlier. Even when you are towards the end of your motion your wrist stays disengaged. Also, ten toes to the hoop is a pretty archaic ideal and almost every great shooter (including Steph) have a significant turn. Be more focused on aligning your hips and elbow on a straight path and not your toes. You have a decent one motion shot which is a great start! Last note, with my follow through I think about throwing my pointer and middle finger into the rim if that makes sense.
Yes! It's so crazy how great shooters don't even know how they shoot with a turn or by jumping forward.
I have to imagine MasterClass wrote the script for Steph so maybe he just ran with whatever they had.
No
@@Freeworld1991 no what
Props to his brother. He helped him all throughout this 50 day challenge.

I can really feel that frustration, from a [good percentage & bad form] to a [good pecentage & good form] I'm stuck in the [bad percentage & bad form]. I kind of gave up too early and tried reverting to my old form but after seeing this 50 days video I'm motivated agaiiin. Thumbs up.
Beautiful goal. That’s my 2022 summer goal. Thanks for the great full docuseries feel vibe.

Man this is so inspirational. Goes to show practice works. 👍
I love the video, the editing has definitely improved. As someone who has studied shooting I have a couple of suggestions to how you can improve your form.
Firstly I want to point that Steph is a really good example of a talented performer but a not-so-good teacher. There are really two main things I wanted to touch on, it is the 10 toes to the basket and extending your range through dipping the ball.
So in the masterclass he said to point both feet directly to the basket. This idea is an archaic form of teaching people how to shoot, basketball back then didn't utilize jumpshots, so being as parallel to the rim as possible increases the chance of making it. Unfortunately this still gets taught today, even taught by the pros even though it is the closest thing from it. From the man himself, Steph, breaks this rule on timestamps 7:35 and 8:05, and it is not because he is a pro and gets away with but because it is the natural way the body follows the shot. Cam if you pause on 12:58 and 13:04, you can already see that your right foot is leading the left both at the apex of your jump and landing. Having 10 toes facing the rim stiffens your shooting shoulder, the right and natural way is actually having your shooting elbow, hip, and shoulder pointed at the rim. Fatigued shoulders do not shoot well!!! As for the feet, keep them about 20-30 degrees pointing to the left insuring the right foot is in front. You can try this at home right now, pretending you are shooting, holding your form mid way and change from 10 toes(squaring) to slight angle with the lead foot, the difference is night and day(Yes this works for leftys too).
Next he said that the mechanics of your shot remains the same whether its near the basket or 3, I do agree but it needs a bit more explaining and to put it simply, you do not use the same amount of power to shoot near the rim like you do at the 3 therefore, slight changes in your form must happen in order for your to properly get the shot in from deep. Dipping the ball is using stored energy from your legs and transferring it to your shot on the way up. Because he has a one motion shot and it really hard for non basketball fanatics to see, check out how Ray Allen shoots from the three, he does not just go into this shot from catch, he gathers by dipping the ball THEN going into his shot. Doing this allows you to bend the legs storing your energy, and syncs both upper and lower torso together to create a fluid shot on the way up. Harmony between both upper and lower torsos are what makes players deadly shooters. Again if you want to try this, from the three, have someone pass you the ball and go straight into your form, and be aware about how sticky and unconnected it feels, then from the catch, try and act like your legs are a coil and dip the ball with the legs, then go up together into the shot, I promise it will feel soooo much smoother
Hope this helps anyone fix their jumpshot!!!
You're awesome man thanks!
Tysm
More of this masterclass learning.. wanna see more if these really work for other things too :)
Could be fun!
You know... YOU could do one of the classes yourself and actually get better at something. Rather than just watching other guys get better at things...

@@nathanmoss4146 😂😂
You helped me on my shooting I won alot of my games for my team I have lost all my ability of shooting so I'm watching this again thank you
Good job bud I'm really really proud of you.💪 PS everyone heard the old saying before when you put your mind is something and takes practice and hard work you can do it but it takes a lot of dedication practice and time and patience no matter what you are trying to accomplish in life. If it's your reading level or getting better at basketball or any kind of sports or learning how to speak better and better sentences and to explain things to people in a perfect way. With me I suffer with chronic lyme disease I was misdiagnosed for almost a year the CDC in Madison Wisconsin denied me two times and I had all the symptoms my white blood cells and platelets were low and they are still affected. I had to go doctor the doctor to get different opinions and some doctors didn't believe in late stage or chronic lyme disease. So I put matters into my own hands and called my insurance and told them that I wasn't getting the best treatment as possible so they finally found a doctor Milwaukee Wisconsin the doctor decided to do IV antibiotics because I never got the treatment I was supposed to get 3 weeks but the doctor had to stop treatment in about 1 week because the medication was decreasing my white blood cells and my platelets even more. There's no one size fits all for any kind of treatment. And even though I am still suffering today with chronic fatigue my neck and my shoulders ache and I believe I might have fibromyalgia I lost a lot of weight currently I am 5'9 weigh 135 lb I'm not underweight but if I get about at 125 lb and that I am. And even though I can't do the things I used to do like do hard workouts for a long period of time I just need to be grateful of the Lord that is giving me every day of the blessings even if it's little ones. But I need to trust the Lord through My Savior Jesus Christ no matter what and I found a clinical trial through the NIH through Lyme disease but I don't have the funds to get there but hopefully one day I will. I know there's days where I feel so alone because sometimes I feel like I'm suffering by myself but I know there's many people suffering upon this world with different diseases and different things. And I know we're not promised tomorrow but I know Stephen Curry has a relationship with God through Jesus Christ. And even though when someone becomes a child of God a Christian you are still going to have problems and ups and downs because becoming a Christian doesn't make you think that you're not going to have things that's going to happen in life because Christians can still get diseases like cancer. I want to make this one more note Christianity is not a religion it's a relationship with God to Jesus Christ to be reconciled back to the father through Jesus. And the Lord can set us free from our mistakes our sins if more people will follow the teachings of the Lord this world will be a better place because God did Jesus Christ through his holy spirit is love. He is forgiven he's patient slow to anger he gives us Grace upon Grace upon us every day and we can do the same upon others. And the do our best to love our neighbor as ourselves even if we come across a negative person putting negative words upon us we need to remember the fruit of the Spirit and the fruit of the spirit is love joy peace patience kindness goodness faithfulness gentleness and self-control against such things there is no law. I wanted to give you another double PSPs. I'm so proud of you bud you did a good good job because that feeling when you accomplish something you have a feeling inside of you of a joyful bringing back that feeling when you was a kid opening a present that you feel like you're on the top of the world for a little bit....🔥🔥🔥
You guys really stepped up your (already excellent) editing game with this one. Great work!
Thanks mate!
The funny thing is that steph doesn’t square to the basket when he shoots.
in his masterclass he said, for him he likes to slightly face it to the left. but ideally, it should be squared to the basket.
Reggie Miller said the feet don't matter. Only the upper form matters
@@st4r444 Reggie Miller is super talented but that’s horrible advice to give to not as talented players
@@christianjansen9477 agree. But once someone becomes an elite shooter they can do whatever. I prefer to line up feet and legs
@@st4r444 everything matters
one of the things that helped me extremely much was to never stand still while shooting(unless its a freethrow) this really helped me get more buckets in games
such a good vibe ! and you would like to take your time to practice that and finally made it! your case proved that shooting is not hard but it needs patient to change it!
my man's shot form went from horrendous to graceful👏🏽 props to him
Never knew you guys were brothers!

This proves that Steph Curry's shooting course is legit gonna make you a better shooter as long as you put the effort into it.
any shooting course will make you better if you practice enough
Quick, send this to Ben Simmons😄
Nah.
Its just practice in the correct way, no need to be Steph Curry course.
After watching I gotta be honest that was a huge improvement looking great bro good job and keep up the good work
at 1:47 the basketball drop sound and beat sync was too good 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Hey Cam. Whenever you want to shoot farther out, you're right that you need to use your lower body more but what that masterclass didn't teach you is that you need to turn your hips when you shoot. If you look at all most top nba 3 pt shooters, even if some of them keep their feet squared to the basket, they turn as they jump midair while shooting.
It makes sense -look at javalin throwers and baseball pitchers, they're not stationary throwing the object, they turn their hips to throw objects farther.
Hope this helps out, love your content btw and have been watching for more than 3 years :)
This was a fun one. I would love to see a few 1v1s to see if your form holds up.
Im training to improve my shot too, the Mechanics of shooting is quite interesting it has many variables but shooting fast and effective is very hard add that by been defended by one or multiple opponents. Also you need to bring the ball from below your belt that momentum helps a lot.
Oh no do not bring the ball from below your belt. That means your shot will take longer and be easier to block.
ohsballer well depends Steph kd and dame all dip the ball it helps you get in shooting rhythm
But it does make shot slower
@@SP3XTRO It's ok unless he wants do it from very close range. Just do the upward motion fast and you'll barely shoot slower
As a decent shooter you really inspire me to continue to better my shooting skills, way to go bro

Doesn’t help you are shooting on a double rim 😂
That's better, forces you to shoot perfectly
Came here to say the same thing. Those park hoops (and backboards, which I believe are made of depleted uranium) are the least-forgiving setups possible. I get that some might say "Oh it forces you to shoot better", but not being able to use a backboard isn't quite real world.
@@GEfromNJ when you do switch to a normal rim and back board your gonna be getting mad buckets tho
