Blog #10 How To

How To Shoot a Basketball

When preparing to shoot a basketball, you must have BEEF on your mind. No, not the beef you eat, the acronym BEEF, Balance, Eyes, Elbow, Follow through. These four words will teach any basketball player to make and easy shot. Start off with balance, spread your feet a little less than shoulder width apart for a good sturdy base. Next is your elbow, have your dominate elbow at a 90 degree angle directly underneath the ball and your recessive hand on the side of the ball for guidance. Then comes your eyes, focus all of your attention on the rim for the best accuracy. Lastly, once you guide the ball in the air, follow through with your dominant hand as if you were reaching in a cookie jar on a high shelf. Your arm should be completely extended and your hand should be soft not stiff. These four steps will lead you to shoot a basketball accuractely and precisely every time, so start thinking BEEF.
