One Hand

This basketball shooting drill forces you to shoot straight because you won't have the non-shooting hand steadying the ball. Hold ball comfortably in shooting hand with non-shooting hand held behind your back. In the beginning, try standing either right in front or to the side of basket about 5 feet back.

Once you can make the close shots consistently and your shots are under control, start moving back a step at a time. No matter your level, don't move back farther until you can shoot consistently with good form to your shots.

Variation - Still use the one hand like above, but now you're sitting in a chair. This really forces you to use proper technique. If you don't follow through with good arm extension and the proper snap of the wrist, your shot will stray or struggle to reach the rim.
