Is this basketball shooting form vid true or just trying to get me to buy a useless DVD?

I found this video on youtube

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDVXmaEXWOI&feature...

There is a website in the details area, selling DVD's about this new shooting form.

I mean this does kind of make sense, lots of NBA players turn thier body, and my shot usually goes to the right, what do you guys think?

Thanks.

    i think shot form is a bit over rated

    i mean it is very important but look at shawn marion, he's not a "GREAT" shooter but it was good enough for him to go to the nba

    it all depends on how much work you put in your jumper.. if you shoot everyday you'll develop a form dat works best for you so i wouldn't waste my time on dat dvd... go become a better shooter on your own for free

    First flick or snap of the wrist... the fine means i will describe it's by way of this instance think your mother made a few cookies and sat them at the desk wherein you would now not achieve them. There used to be no chair so that you can climb on. How do you get a cookie? You reached after which "flick" your hand to get one. Well it's type of like that after you're taking pictures a basketball. The ball begins out resting for your finger pads (that's each and every facet of you hand besides your palm) you then bounce and shoot the ball whilst on the best of your bounce you flick or bend your hand toward the rim. By doing this it explanations backspin at the ball so one can make you shot softer. This is helping if the ball hits the rim providing you with a bigger danger at making the shot. So whilst your taking pictures consistently consider like your hanging you hand in a cookie jar with the jar being the rim. A trick is earlier than you pass to mattress lay down and simply train preserving your elbow in even as making use of my cookie jar philosophy. Shoot within the air approximately a one hundred occasions if the ball comes immediately again then you'll say its well but when it doesnt that suggests you could have ignored. With the 3pointers first begin near and get the correct sort. This will increase what's known as muscle reminiscence. Then as the space turns into less complicated (you're going to recognise this seeing that you wont omit as many pictures as you probably did earlier than) begin taking a step or 2 again. Challenging your new ability maintain doing this till your convinced together with your distance. Like you stated so much of your energy comes out of your legs and the flick of your wrist. It additionally has to manage your forearms (the facet of your arm wherein your elbow and wrist connects) however in case you hold to train the correct procedure it is going to beef up itself. So dont particularly fear approximately lifting simply but simply hold working towards and sooner or later you're going to be identical to Mike.

    Just find a form that works for you.

    My sister prefers to shoot over the head.

    I bring the ball the shoulder and then shoot or I bring the ball down to my stomach area.

    Just do whatever your best at.
