Increasing your PPG in basketball is one of the most sought after improvements amongst any player and rightfully so.
If you could effectively double your PPG without having to sacrifice in any other areas (assists, number of attempted shot, etc), would you? Most people would obviously say yes because they don't know the secrets of scoring.
Here a few tips to help you out: Have proper arch.
Differences in arch can make huge differences.
The reason it's so helpful is it increases your margin of error, giving you a much higher shooting percentage.
The difference between 35 degree arch and a 45 degree arch is a 500% difference in margin of error! That means you can be off by a lot more if you're shooting at a pure diagonal (45 degrees) at release.
Film your shots.
The first thing to fixing your shot is to film it.
Most people have no idea how their shot looks, so the only way to do it is with a camera.
Once you can single out problems in your form, it's time to correct them.
Unlearning bad habits is what it's all about.
Shoot the same way every time.
Whether you're coming off a screen in an intense game, or you're just shooting around by yourself, always shoot the same way.
You should always keep the same arch and form in your shot.
Muscle memory is your friend, and it's what helps you improve your shot.
The only time you want to change it up is for unlearning bad habits.
