Three Point Shot Movement

Bend your knees and elevate off the floor in a normal shooting motion. The form and height of the jump should be the same from the three-point line as it would be from under the basket.

Tuck your shooting elbow into your body in such fashion that it is in line with your body-- straight up and down. This ensures that the shot stays in line and that you get good rotation on the ball.

Focus on the front of the rim as you are shooting the three. This allows you to have a central focus point and to shoot the ball just over the rim. If you are shooting from the sides or at an angle, move your focus to the front of the rim from your position.

Release the ball at the height of the jump and rotate the ball off your shooting hand with a backwards spin on the ball. Be careful to not allow your other hand to come into the shot. It is to be used only as a guide.
