Basketball: One handed set shot

Description

To perfect the set shot let's start with one hand.

The hand should start cocked back, with the ball slightly in front of you.

As you shoot bend your knees, spring up and unfold your arm so that it straightens and flick your wrist to put back spin on the shot.

You should finish up on your toes.

Coaching points

This shot is used when you are standing still and close to the basket. It is also the technique used for a free throw.
