Air Shot

Anytime you can, go through your shooting motion. Remember to use basic shooting technique (elbow in, follow through, smooth release, elbow at a right angle, off hand guiding the ball, et cetera). You do not need a ball, just imagine you are holding a basketball and shoot just like you would on the court. This may look strange in public, but this drill combined with practicing on a real court will make your shot more fluid, increase accuracy, help focus, and overall make a jump-shot seem like second nature.

Variations

If on a court, stand at many different shooting spots on the floor. Try to store this images in your head so that when practicing this drill, you can imagine you are shooting at the goal.

Tips
