Coach, I feel l like your tutorials will be more effective if we saw game footage of the move,slowed and broken down and , analyzed on how the defense responds etc... The clip doesn't have to be long.I just feel like people learn better when they see game play . Respond plz! Spam the like button if you agree ,so he can notice ;the comment!!!
I agree with you man. I think after he is done breaking down each step, he should go, "Okay, now this is what it would like like in a live setting" And then proceeds to do all of the steps he broke down as the move was intended to be done, you know? I think that would help immensely. Not necessarily in a game, but in a live setting would be perfect
Formidable Zoasta Well Actually, There Is An Option To Do That - Go To Settings - Then Go To Playback and it’ll give u the option by 5x to give u slow motion

+dabbingpanda lol that means your teamates don't trust you and its not about scoring its about getting wins not points and don't blame anything on your teamates you're the point guard and the leader of the team and if you want the ball you demand it and go it not complain
I am trying to learn the pivot footwork, and I have viewed this vid several times. Each time I pick up something else, but I think I am slowly getting it. I did use the high rip in a game last night, because I saw the defender's hand was low, and it worked very well. I gained some space, took a shot and made it. So thanks for the vid.
I've been using this move in my entire life playing basketball, but the only one I know to do is the first move you teach. I just wanna say thank you for enlightened me. Now i know how to do the the differnt moves of pivot footwork.
Love your vids, I am getting to be an older player and my mind and most of my body can still run with the 25yr old hoopers but inevitably I am slowing down and my vert is pretty much gone. Any vids pertaining to re elevating the vert for an old man? Also, video on angles would be nice!
Im so late but may you please do another breakdown of how to hesitate and drive/shoot and also a step around move and other useful moves thats can be used on fast breaks to avoid charges.
solution for that is to keep practicing.Keep on practicing your confidence will go up on every shot and that will minimize your chance of missing the shots that you practice every time
Fierce Folder everytime I play with confidence I go off. But when I'm not i suck. To build my confidence I post up and run the court. Hustle plays get my going to.
How come Coach raises his knee at 9:25 but not at 8:51, is it just a preference? Also is it a travel if you really use that knee to propel you up seeing as it is the pivoting knee? Technically that's what one does in a layup.
I didn't even notice that he says you have to shoot before lifting the pivot at 8:51! Most people who are confused about the step through rules will at least let you jump off both feet! Wild. He's contradicting himself in those two examples. His one footed jump at 9:25 is legal, but he says at 8:51 that you're not even allowed to jump off two feet, let alone 1
Look at how other ppl shoot and where they shoot it from. Rebounding is about your positioning. If the ball is shot from the corner 3 and ends up on the other side, stay in that area where it'll bounce to you, it'll be easier to get it for yourself. The ball and rim usually works together, figure out how it bounces off each other. The blocking is just staying close to your opponent and blocking with the opposite hand they shoot from. You can't block a shot with your hand if they're shooting with their right, becuz it'll cause too much space to be created. But if you block with your left when he shooting from the right, it'll close that space between your hand and the ball.
Hey coach, first I want to say your videos really help me a lot and I am about to start middle school basketball soon.. The 7th and 8th graders are pretty good and I'm wondering if you can help me with my shot or help me be able to be in the starting lineup for my school team..
I did pretty well, I did one handed dribbles and that was pretty great. The shooting was awesome and I feel more confident now. Thanks and good luck in ms b ball
great video! just a quick question… i saw sometimes you’d lift your pivot foot and shoot off the other foot in some of the later exercises. is that a travel? or am i allowed to take 1 step off the pivot if i’m about to shoot?
Josie Zephir drive to the basket... If they realize you can finish at the rim too they will let you more space cause they will be scared to let you go closer or simply jump higher and get a better shooting form but the most important is to take smart shot ex: pump fake dribble shoot or do a step back
Josie Zephir For ISO shot creation: learn how to sell fakes to get ur defender moving in the opposite direction. A good move is a step back, which when done properly has u jabbing so the defender expects a drive, then stepping back, resulting in an open look as the defender is left behind. Shooting form: if ur shooting a push shot from ur chest, if ur strong enough, practice bringing the bottom of the ball to ur eyebrow before shooting. Also practice a very quick, smooth release, just like how Steph Curry shoots. If u shoot it faster it can help consistency as well as range and of course gives the defender less time to contest the shot. Everything else: learn how to get shots off a screen, or move around relentlessly on offense so u can leave ur defender in the dust and get an open look from a teammate. Be sure ur going to a place that gives ur teammate a good pass. For example, if he's driving to the left but defenders are ready to block his layup, get ur ass to the left wing QUICK so that he can kick it out to you... Or maybe if a teammate has a defender ready to contest his shot, get to a place where he can pass it easily and effectively and where you will have a good look. This ties in to the basics of basketball IQ, which is basically knowing what to do and where to go in a given situation during a game. Sometimes u might want to drive, other times shoot. I'm just telling u how to get shots up
Do you have to jump off 2 feet for a step through to be legal or can you step through on your non planted foot ? Huge debate I had with a trainer devininthelab. He was stating it to be legal to take an extra step off the pivot as long as the planted foot doesnt return to the playing court before you release the ball. My argument was, wouldn't that be called a travel if I was in the post after picking up my dribble and I was to take the same step through but on a fadeaway shot? I know that MJ & Kobe, the pioneers of the post moves, never took a step through when trying to hit a fadeaway shot, so shouldn't the same rule apply to a layup if you were to step through, it has to be off of 2 feet?
we all know we need to dribble the ball before stepping, but in the case of a pivot position will it be called travel if you step first before dribbling??
Hey coach. I’m in 8th grade and it’s my first year playing. I’m 5”8 and 180. Big and fat. I’m not very good at basketball and when I get the ball, I get it stolen or always mess up on between the legs or crossovers. Can you link me to some very basic stuff?
Get your reps in with our Free Shooting Challenge: bit.ly/2mkb0sJ
Coach I have difficulties in my shooting form I barely score.

ShotMechanics hey you should make a colab with coach rock

@Marcus Hall Real hoppers aren't looking up how to pivot lmao.
(personal use )
Reverse pivot 1:44
1) 2:12 , 2) 2:22 , 3) 2:33...
summary (2:39 to 2:54)
Pivot to create space
3:35 to 4:07 (summary) - 3 types
Previous Pivot's shooting form practice 5:30
Multiple pivots combo 6:30
(As long as anchor foot is on ground you can pivot as much as you want)
1st pivot combo 7:17 to 7:26 (half roll pivot)
2nd 8:10 (3 combo move pivot )
9:02 counter move
3rd 10:02 4 pivot combos
Practice all pivots with shooting form or running away
Try to add shoulders and hips to sell pivots
You can always make minor changes depending on the situation so practice some free style pivots with these pivots in mind.
Kobe was fantastic at this.
yes he was!
Pierce too
Watch Hakeem
Kobe was the best. He actually mastered it.
Rip Kobe
Most people underestimate the pivot move. But lowkey lethal if you know how to use them properly.
Kobe’s one of the few people who mastered the pivot. He was the best
I developed both of my pivot feet at the same time now im averaging 20 travels a game🔥🔥🔥🔥
I was waiting for the footwork video for a long time! Coach your tips are fire, you really helped me to improve my skills ;)

Boys: Sick Crossover, Spin move
Men: Eurostep, Hopstep
Pro: Lethal Pivotfoot (1-4 Pivots)
Probably the best explanation of how to use pivot and how it works... Well done...
Best foot work tutorial period.
recovering from a stroke over here, this is a great workout for me, balance momentum. get my game back! good drills!
How’s recovery going bro?
I am trying to learn the pivot footwork, and I have viewed this vid several times. Each time I pick up something else, but I think I am slowly getting it. I did use the high rip in a game last night, because I saw the defender's hand was low, and it worked very well. I gained some space, took a shot and made it. So thanks for the vid.
Great stuff coach Colin! Love this. Nobody really talks about pivots

Good teaching.
I haven’t played in over 7 years.
this will give me a fundamental base to get back in shape.
Thanks!
So sleek and useful! I'm definitely going to try these out next training session. Thanks mate!
I've been using this move in my entire life playing basketball, but the only one I know to do is the first move you teach. I just wanna say thank you for enlightened me. Now i know how to do the the differnt moves of pivot footwork.
I've always had good footwork cause of all the basketball games I watch but it's always great to watch coach and see if I can learn new moves
Coach could you teach us how to control the team / tips for being a pg
Brownie boii 375 just watch good pg bro bro study how they play the footwork the body movement the set up and how they come off pics etc
Love your vids, I am getting to be an older player and my mind and most of my body can still run with the 25yr old hoopers but inevitably I am slowing down and my vert is pretty much gone.
Any vids pertaining to re elevating the vert for an old man? Also, video on angles would be nice!
Thank men, i have learn a lot with your videos
I watched u in 7th grade and didn't make the team now I'm playing JV I'm freshmen btw
Did you make the cut this year?
Extremely Solid offensive moves
Tks man, just the set of drills i needed
coach this video was so useful! thx! keep it up
Thank you for the great stuff, coach!
I like these learning series a lot. I'd like to see something that would help with a first step to get past defenders.
This is some next level tips coach . This helps a Lot thanks
Good work as always Coach, what about an Allan Houston shooting secrets episode?

ShotMechanics GOAT 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐
Im so late but may you please do another breakdown of how to hesitate and drive/shoot and also a step around move and other useful moves thats can be used on fast breaks to avoid charges.
Hey Coach, do you have guidance or another vid on a good rocket step technique? I love all these pivot-counter section of this video! Very Hakeem 😎
Missing this from my game ill definitely get my reps in
+1 new sub :)
I loved it..its nice..its really essential for me
usefulness lesson I Learned a lot about footwork especially pivot footwork😂😇👏🏀
Great breakdown!
Can you do a video on how to gain confidence or get over missed shots? I don't know if you have a video on it yet.
solution for that is to keep practicing.Keep on practicing your confidence will go up on every shot and that will minimize your chance of missing the shots that you practice every time
Thanks!
Fierce Folder everytime I play with confidence I go off. But when I'm not i suck. To build my confidence I post up and run the court. Hustle plays get my going to.
Ok, I'll try that
Coach please answer this or make a video on it, what should I do after a workout I can't do ice bath btw
Even if you take a cold shower that will help a ton! It also is good to get some protein in asap within the first 30 minutes afterwards :)
ShotMechanics thank you sir
Great video! Thanks a lot coach
Thanks a lot
Thank you very much sir...very usefull to my play...

I'm not sure if you have a video on it, pls do a rebound or blocking tutorial... I'm 5'9. Playing against 6'3 players
Haven't done much on that but we're planning on it!
King Js best thing to do is get weight room ready work on your shoulders and upper leg strength for a quicker jump
I'm 5'7 btw benching 235 it helps a lot when you can bully em you'll be surprised by the outcome

All these guys have some good ideas. Hmu 774-434-2844 I'll give you some tips. I'm 5'7 myself
Hey coach, first I want to say your videos really help me a lot and I am about to start middle school basketball soon.. The 7th and 8th graders are pretty good and I'm wondering if you can help me with my shot or help me be able to be in the starting lineup for my school team..
dabbingpanda lol I'm terrible at shooting high.. And how could I create space? Thanks btw
Thanks man.. Really appreciate it.. How can I practice step backs?
You are? Nice same and thanks so much.. You have any suggestions for breaking ankles?
Sweet thanks I'm going to go practice tomorrow, I'll tell you how I do, thanks
I did pretty well, I did one handed dribbles and that was pretty great. The shooting was awesome and I feel more confident now. Thanks and good luck in ms b ball
What brand of basketball is that
use tiptoe technique on the plant foot to increase mobility and decrease injuries on the knees
Great lesson
You are amazing man !!!!!
Awesome video... Just subbed and liked..
Coach when is your next camp going to happen?
Got one coming up in Salt Lake City on Sept. 29th and 30th :)
Thanks Coach!
ShotMechanics you ever coming to Denver? Can't wait till then
Also is there anymore information about it like cost, etc?
Fort mcmurray coach, I beg you!!!
great video! just a quick question… i saw sometimes you’d lift your pivot foot and shoot off the other foot in some of the later exercises. is that a travel? or am i allowed to take 1 step off the pivot if i’m about to shoot?
You can lift your pivot to pass or shoot! You just can’t replant it on the floor! The classic up & under is a prime example!
when can you start doing the pivot foot trick and how can you do it without getting called for double dribble?
I'm tired of getting blocked on my shots please help me coach
Josie Zephir take better shots
Josie Zephir drive to the basket...

Create seperation learn footworks like in this video make your shot fast .. and etc . You will be better . I believe in you
I want to improve my inside and outside shooting, coach can you please make a video on it
Great video .
Can you do Demar Derozan and Devin Booker of the curl mid range analysis plz
ShotMechanics Hey Coach my name is Gabriel and I wanna see a Shooting Secrets of Jaylen Hands or Shooting Secrets of Jason Terry
Nice video, thanks
This move is my favorite and very deadly when its come to mid range no doubt about it and after pivot combine with a kobe's jumshot haha.
Great stuff but a great teaching point is to pivot/jab/step towards the basket not wide.
This is good cause when you post up and do an up and under you need good footwork to not get called for a travel
Coach make a shooting video next please. Make a video about shooting form
RIP Kobe

He’s right!
Video on shooting over taller defenders.
we all know we need to dribble the ball before stepping, but in the case of a pivot position will it be called travel if you step first before dribbling??
Are you allowed to Jab step when you catch the ball .. then dribble ?
Great video
Thanks for making this video...... :D
Rip Kobe
Hey coach. I’m in 8th grade and it’s my first year playing. I’m 5”8 and 180. Big and fat. I’m not very good at basketball and when I get the ball, I get it stolen or always mess up on between the legs or crossovers. Can you link me to some very basic stuff?
Coach, it seems to me that your pivot foot slid across the floor at 6:50-6:54. Am I mistaken, or did you just commit a travelling violation?
U going to have a camp in Tennessee or Atlanta?
i didn't learn anything LMAO but enjoyed the proper foundation explaination that you did a run-down on techniques
Thanks fir the help
Thanks coach
once you master the pivot you become 10x the player you once were
coach do a video on how to make it to the NBA
Practice.

Uhm i have a question can you do pivot foot without passing it to you and jumping?
how to improve finishing during layup ..
@ShotMechanics Can you do a tutorial how to never miss a layup
jeb jeff ILoveBasketballTV has a video on it, check it out
Just never shoot and you'll never miss
Isn't it a travel? When you jumping not from a both legs in the same time after pivot?
u think u could make a video about fade aways?
That's good coach. I'll like to train with you. I am 6ft 6.
Coach, how to avoid traveling violation, on your pivot
can you make a 7day training workout for big man please!
Ew I don't want center's ew
I would like to show this vid with a defender. Tall defender, small defender, close and space defender
when would anyone ever catch the ball back to the basketball on the 3pt line?
Make sure ball touches the floor before ur foot hit the ground right ?
