We can argue whether changing your shot form is easy or hard. I found it was easy. But I think we all agree that you can not be a good consistent shooter from college three point range with poor mechanics. So it is really a necessity for a college player to master shot mechanics. There can be a few variations in what the final result looks in high or low release point, etc but lots of shot mechanicsare known and essential. Good balance from a solid base, elbow under the ball, ball off the index and middle finger, proper follow through, etc.learnin wrote: ↑January 2nd, 2020, 6:12 pmXtra, I would say moving your release point higher is an easier fix than changing the whole mechanics. It was just a matter of Curry becoming stronger so he could release it higher. And there's no doubt that there are exceptions to the rule so Dajuan ought to practice a great deal, over the summer, with his form.
Does Buddy Hields freshman shot form sound like D Gordons? So do we want a chance at D Gordon shooting like Buddy Hield or Barry Brown who never did completely fix his form. And before everyone hits the respond button, I said a chance at D Gordon shooting like Hield. Correct form does not guarantee great results.
From the article.
Hield made 23.8 percent of his 3-point shots in his first college season. But his performance on game nights was little indication of what was happening on the practice court as he, Kruger and assistant coach Chris Crutchfield tore Hield’s shot down to its foundation and began to rebuild.
“He had one of those cross-body shots,” Crutchfield said. “It started in his right hip and it went to his left forehead. It was kind of a weird deal.”
So for maybe six months, Crutchfield said, the Oklahoma staff drilled the right-handed Hield on keeping his jump-shot motion strictly on the right side of his body. They worked to keep his right elbow from flying out in Hield’s shooting motion.
