By Dr. Hal Wissel
Correcting shots that circle out due to shooting hand moving on ball are listed below, along with suggested trigger words to correct them. Trigger words are positive words, preferably one syllable words, that you associate with the correct mechanics of your shot and reinforce rhythm and confidence.
Error: Your shot circles out due to your shooting hand moving on the ball.
Correction: To prevent moving your shooting hand on the ball make sure your shooting hand is set so it faces the front of the basket before your shoot. Suggested trigger words are “Hand!” or “Hand Straight!”
