Hi Riley,
Perfecting the layup is all about timing. In a match situation, the lay-up is likely to be performed when running at speed therefore you need to be able to time the jump, along with the release of the ball. The closer you can get to the basket with your jump, the easier it is to control the ball going into the hoop. Here`s a good drill you can use to practice the layup. I hope this helps.
