The 5 Biggest Keys For Shooters

Just posted this in our Membership community but figured I'd share with y'all as well!

Over the past 5 weeks, My team and I have worked with 30+ High-Level High School, College, and NBA players. I've been fascinated by each player's individual constraints. It's been such a cool process dissecting each player's shot and helping guide them towards solutions. Through this process, we've identified 5 "non-negotiables" that regardless of variability, differential learning, and adaptability, if these 5 are constant, the basketball has a great chance of going in!

Hand placement (Shooting hand in the middle of the basketball)
Straight ball path (Up the body from the '1' Position, not swinging right or left)
Proper sequencing under the basketball as it stabilizes at the '2' position (body attaches under the ball when the 2 position is formed)
Straight Follow Through with pointer finger to the floor
Wide and Balanced Landing, shoulders forward on tippy toes

What are your thoughts? Am I missing any? Do you know any GREAT shooter without these 5?
