Why Turning Your Hips Isn’t a Bad Shot — Train this for your Shot!

Описание: A lot of coaches preach that you should land straight up and straight down on your jumpshot—but is that always the best way to shoot? In this video, I break down one of the most common basketball coach pet peeves: turning your hips or fading on your shot.

Most players in middle school or high school get in trouble for experimenting with their footwork, especially if it goes against what’s traditionally taught. But the truth is, learning how to square in the air and understanding how the hips turn during a basketball shot can actually make your mechanics more efficient—not worse.

I break down shooting mechanics and footwork from players like Steph Curry, Damian Lillard, Luka Doncic, and Jalen Green—guys who use balance kicks and hip twists to create fluid, consistent shooting forms. These aren’t bad habits—they’re high-level details.

We talk about how to land in basketball, how to shoot like Damian Lillard, and whether it’s really bad to turn your hips on a shot. This is a deep dive into basketball in the details—the stuff that separates average shooters from elite ones.

If you’re into underrated basketball training and want to take your footwork and shot balance to the next level, this one’s for you.
