7 Tips To Improve Your Shooting Mechanics

Are you ready to transform your shooting? Then you've first got to go back to the basics and focus on the mechanics of your shot. You can use these 7 basketball shooting tips to start shooting the rock even better:

Keep Your Eyes On the Target

Many players will focus on the flight of the ball. Don't. Find the target as early as you can, and keep your eyes focused on that.

Pay Attention To Your Balance and Your Stance

Your feet need to be shoulder-width apart. Your knees should be slightly bent.

If you like a stance that's more open, then your shooting foot should be forward and your non-shooting foot trailing behind. If you like a stance that's more square, then both of your feet should be facing the basket.
