As per coaches--you should always go for a good follow through to solve the shooting problems.
Handle The Follow Through properly

Use of wrist movements :-
The wrist movements always play a vital roll in shooting. If you maintain a tensed wrist then your follow through will be
unskillful so as the shooting.

But when your wrist is relaxed, it will give the best shooting outcome with proper follow through drill.

Practice to improve ball rotation :-
The shooting skill can be improved by regular practice but the straightness only can be improved when you focus on the ball
rotation.
![Page 12: How To Become A Better Basketball Shooter](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042619/5883e6931a28ab62358b7813/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
So while practicing , you should use the colored basketball that will help you to see the rotation and direction of the
ball.

Practice for optimal Arc :-
As per rule of thumb----- “finish your follow through with the rim clearly visible beneath the fingers of your shooting
hand”
![Page 14: How To Become A Better Basketball Shooter](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042619/5883e6931a28ab62358b7813/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
As per studies, most of the shots bounce out of basket if you miss just
a fraction also.

So practicing the optimal arc like a 35 degree arc gives 6 inch of margin to the ball, that clears the rim without
hitting it.

But when you opt out 45 degree arc, it delivers a shooting error with 3inch margin where the ball bounces back by
hitting the rim.
