……This will bring about the controversial topic, but I have to say this hands-on to subvert the so-called traditional, is to subvert the sacred “empty the palm of the hand” theory.

……It seems to me that the shot hand-type should be divided into two types: soft type and hard type of hand. This has a direct bearing on the different characteristics of NBA basketball players, but once mastered the two shot hand types, you will become a “Jordan” and “Bryant” as a versatile player.

1. Hard-hand-type-shot:

……This is commonly used inside the hands of players, this type of benefit is in hand, relying on five fingers stretch, for hand the basketball, the ball will not be too much rotation, but is very stable, and at close range in the distance will be very stable, the ball - Arc will be slightly, but the have high field goal percentage, because the ball is
in a very smooth line. This action is the traditional sense of the “empty the palm of the hand” shots.

……The point is: Five finfers all divided, thumbs extended to the field, there are five fingers to pull the ball live feeling, the feeling is grasping the ball, fingertip force, the palm of the right hand is empty (because of the rigid fingers are grasping the ball, prop up the ball therefore, only empty palms of the right hand), and the main points of this action is to extend five fingers, but also forced, rigid, which is usually said grasping the ball steadily.

…… Drawback is:in the far distance is not easy to shot, and because the five finfers stretch need to provide palm’s power, and the palm is rigid, resulting in the shooting can not be fully under pressure the wrist before you shooting, and the wrist twang-ball‘s range can not be reached 180 ° after shooting , the frequency of twang-ball will slower , and is due to empty palms of the right hand,the area which the right hand contact the ball is not big enough, not have sufficient hand strength,so there must add the intensity of right arm to support, which also caused a small strength players use this action will be very difficult to shoot far.

……Use this type of hand the players: Tim Duncan, Shaquille O’Neal and Jordan in paint, and so on.

The red circle is the use area.

2.Soft hand type shot acotion:

……Soft hand type is the hand of I continue to improve the shot action in the process of understanding by the end, but also relieved. Because the former basketball coach or teammates, or even Jordan, professor in the shooting, will emphasize empty-handed-heart, so when I discovered that this type of action in hand, I should not hesitate for a while, I suspect that what is the problem, why these people do not have to use this soft hand shot action. Later I saw some shooter’s action after the shooting, I understand, is not no, but some people do not tell the others, such as Jordan, just take this shooting as the ability to tradition for his own unique skill, even not told Kobe Bryant (Bryant himself so very hard investigate on the shooting hand type a few seasons down, only to learn the figure of Michael Jordan shooting form, did not learn the essence, Jordan simply did not say, and Bryant is the same, in his training VCD the Kobe’s training camp — Train to win series training camps inside,he just teach training methods, also not teach the shot action, it is also his unique ability for a secret). I said I saw the video of some shooters,they are: Larry Bird, Novak, Stockton, Hornacek, Ray Allen, Tracy McGrady, Kobe Bryant (sometimes slightly hard, just like Jordan, is not true full-soft), Steve Kerr( two hands shooting suspects, but soft enough), Allen Iverson, and so on, Larry Bird is most typical.

……In fact, I think,after I show Bird and Novak, there is no need to explain how good their shots, everyone knows that they have a so high field goal percentage, in the following let us talk about the main point of this soft-hand-type:

……Soft hand type,the right hand must be very relaxed, soft down, allowing the hand including palm all paste the ball , no gaps, this will ensure maximum contact area on the ball, which is made a useful area for shooting, the ball downward pressure to maximize to the right wrist ,you will feel the ball will be in the pressure on the right wrist (not the ahead part of the right hand, is the wrist is palm), the palm must not be empty. This action temporarily talking about just stop here,when I speak standard shot action behind will tell you the detailsl.

……Let us talk about why I so obsessed with soft-hand-type shooting, it is because after I used this action, I found that there are several major benefits: long-range shot stability and can guarantee a straight line after shooting the ball, the ball can reach the largest rotation rate; It will use less strength to shot than normal, my personal feeling is that the soft-hand-typ shot save a bout more than 50% strength than the hard-type-hand shot action.(Some people may ask me taht it was such exaggerations, I tried, if you tried you will know too);The shot ball’s arc more reasonable and the right hand more soft;the ball in the hands be more stable, easy to handle the action.

……I think these benefits would be enough to train, and this is why many players such as Bird and Novak poor physical quality, but can still gain a firm foothold in the NBA action, and this technology used by Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant ,they just become unrivalled. You might ask, this action is so great, why is not every player using in NBA . In fact, this question is very simple, it is understood by their hard practice training for their own trick, I remember that a ancient Chinese story? Teach prentice, just keep one trick not to teach,the most important trick to win the prentice in future.NBA players all like to have a own trick, so all the people tacit, only to keep this for a secret, who is willing to reveal their specialty skills? Why do I have to say out ? Very simple, because I have been a number of major injury, had broken legs twice, can not play anymore, even small playground confrontation also can not, no love playing game(I just like playing basketball single in the playground), so I dare say, I was In the play, even if those killed know-how, I do not say, after learnt Buddism, do not love playing the game any more, so I sharing out. Only hope that the young people who really like the basketball game will get some help from my words, guidance, some young people will felt these words useful,and grow to a good player in the basketball game,use the best shot action,to feel the happiness in playing basketball,will make me content.Somebody who feel there is aomething difficult to shooting perfect, after reading all the articles, you can have live shooting the know-how.
