Learn to Shot The Rock From A Pro

Jeremy Pargo has my #9 Zags looking like Final Four contenders early in the season. Thanks Mr Pargo for staying in school.

About six weeks to a month ago fellow blogger Roger Taylor approached me about shooting some videos to help younger players improve their shooting. I agreed to help out a fellow hoops junkie with the fine art of shooting.

It starts with very basic stuff like hand placement and footwork for a shot. A complete technique makeover shall we say. As we move along we start to cover things such as using the correct footwork when coming off a screen.

I'm sure kids can grab something worthwhile from it.

Taylor has the videos up and ready for viewing in his members only section. Like any good salesman he gives you a sneak peak at what you can look forward to viewing in the members section.

Good luck with improving your shooting.

Who is the clown passing the ball back to you johnny!? If thats the guy who's site it is, he's dreaming if he wasnts some cash!

Catch & Shoot is the fundamental, and this cat is flicking junk back all over the place...! No chance for you to show a low catch when your chasing your own rock!

Fair enough comment annon. I hadn't actually picked up a ball for a little while and as you can see it took me a few minutes to get the feel back. (Plus I was a little nervous, JR is my favourite player). In the other videos I'm flicking him bounce passes that are on the money and hitting him on the chest like I should.

Its actually good practice for JR (and anyone else) to be catching and shooting from bad passes because you don't always get fed the rock perfectly.

Thankfully, the site and the videos aren't about me teaching you how to shoot, they're about the pro players I feature.
