BASKETBALL JUMP SHOT A jump shot is most frequently
used for a mid to long-range shots,
including shooting beyond the arc.
To achieve balance when facing the
basket for a jump shot, you have to
take a wide stance, usually,
shoulder width apart, bend your
knees and square your shoulders.
Make a fluid, explosive upward
leap and at the apex of the jump,
follow through by shooting the ball.
When the ball is released at the
apex of the jump shot, keep your
elbows straight to ensure that it is
pointed in the direction of the
basket. Concentrate on the flicking
of your wrist and holding it in
position to provide the ball with
momentum and spin.
