x0rohail0x's Guide on How to Icrease your Shooting Percentage in Basketball!​

There are 2 main things to remember if you want to increase your shooting percentage in Basketball.

1. BEEF
2. Standing Still
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

BEEF​

​

BEEF stands for 4 different words. Each has its own role in having you succesfully make your shots.

Balance
Elbows
Eyes
Follow Through

• Balance

-Balance basically means to have both of your feet equally positioned. If
one foot has more weight on it, the ball will be forced into thatdirection. Having both feet equally positioned ensures the ball to go straight into the direction you want the ball to go.

• Elbows

-Elbows basically means you keep you elbows at a 90 degree angle or in other words a right angle when in your shooting form. This will ensure the ball to move smoothly with power from your elbows.

• Eyes

-Eyes basically means that you keep your eyes directly looking straight at the backboard. This will keep you aiming directly at the hoop. It will also focus all your concentration on the hoop and/or the backboard if you use the backboard for shots.

• Follow Through

-Follow Through Basically means you keep your wrist in the same direction after the ball has been lifted into the air towards the hoop. This will ensure that the ball will keep in the direction when being lifted off due to your wrist action.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Standing Still​

The second key point to increasing your shooting percentage is to stand still. To stand still means that while taking the shot, do not run because this throws of your aim and it makes it harder for you to shoot. Standing still applys to shots such as jumpers, 3-point shots, and obviously free-throws. The only shot this may not apply to is lay-ups.​

 

MM. Nice guide. I guess I'll have to try it out when basketball season rolls around. Oh, and awesome picture of the best player in the NBA .

 

Thanks for the first and positive comment! And believe me it'll work. But basketball season isn't until the winter .

 

I have to start practicing in late October . But yeah! I'm going to use this.

 

It's short, simple, common sense. The only work done to it was BB code.

4/10

 

nice lol.. i love your threads =)

 

Lol. Thanks. and mu-b and to everyone else that comments short, I wrte guides so that they are short, and write to the point. Why make a guide complex and take more tme to read it.

 

Thanks for the guide but i've seen it on television =\

 

You mean the Dwanye wade one? Lol. That isn't all of my guide though. I got some of my info from there. But I play basketball myself so yea.

 

Very nice guide; I could use this! XD.
Now I can whip all my friends when we play HORSE. Love the guide, awesome.

 

Lol. no problem. Don't play HORSE. Play knockout

 

nice guide. 10/10.

 

Thanks damn.living. I'm currently trying to edit small things in it.

 

Nice guide

I love that Dwayne Wade commercial.

Constructive Critism: I would use pictures of myself or someone actually DOING the steps. It might give people are better picture or model to follow.

Great job overall.

 

Thanks. I was going to use pictures of myself but camera broken.

 

This is good, but very basic. The more logistics one attempts to process in his/her mind previous to shooting can tend to affect the shot negatively - so it's good you stayed away from all the numbers and such. Some things you should have mentioned: hand placement on the ball, aiming on the front or back part of the rim, the jumping aspect (ie. when landing and shooting at the top of your jump), etc. Nicely done, but elaborate a little more.

 

Thanks for the information. Will try to edit if I can.

 

You forgot to mention that tippy toes to the basket,

And even though all of this is true.. (especially BEEF), the really only main way to get a better shot is to practice shooting reptitively...

i play basketball pretty much everyday, and all you do is shoot shoot and shoot, you will feel after 2-3 hours your shooting percentage will be higher (70-80%).

and by the way, BEEF is usually used for free throws... you forgot to add that you need to jump, using your knees and doing the art of shooting ( that flow through your body to gain power on your shot).

 

You're right. Always practicing reptively in any sport always makes you better. And beef can apply to all shots if you can quickly time and execute it.

Thanks.
