Build clean shooting mechanics from close range and work outward. Start under the rim with one-handed form shots, then add the guide hand, then step back as form holds up. The goal is balance, alignment, and follow-through, not distance.
1. One hand only inside 6ft. Shooting hand under the ball, elbow under the ball, fingers spread.
2. Add guide hand at side, no thumb push.
3. Hold follow-through until ball hits the rim.
4. Only step back when the previous spot is consistently clean.
• Add a partner rebounder to keep the rhythm up.
• Beat-the-pro: track makes-in-a-row, beat your previous best.
• Eyes closed at 1-foot range to internalise the feel.
