Good insight, Ryan. I find that I am pretty good at doing form shooting up until the free throw line. After that, I always had a minor thumb flick in my shots for power because I'm pretty short. It's not as egregious as Kyrie's where his guide hand palm is facing the rim but more subtle like Curry. Trying to eliminate altogether is so tough because I'd air ball at the free-throw line.

In my case, thumb flicking is a matter of distance from the basket. Inside the 3pt line, I don't use a thumb flick, but I do when I'm beyond it. I need to, because I don't have enough strength to shoot from that far without it. Also have a bit of a frozen shoulder, so no thumb flicks mean a bit more pain. In any case, I'm a decent shooter with the thumb flick, so while perfect shooting form will always be best, it's all about whatever works for you, and the thumb flick just happens to work for me.

For me, the thumb flick came as my ball handling and shot creation got better. For me to pull up off the dribble, I grip hard w/ my pinky and thumb and rising into my jumper, it's hard to straighten my off hand and not use the thumb. It seems harder to create shots off the dribble and have a high jumper without the thumb flick for me. I've been debating whether or not to go back to the old form. My old form, I was a lights out sniper, but had no off the bounce game whatsoever. I was a catch and shoot camper sniper. Now I have a very deadly midrange, but my 3 point shot is becoming trash. I don't know what to do? Having the thumb seems to give me better grip on the ball in every scenario except when I rise for my shot lol.

and for some odd reason, my shot sucks when I'm stationary with little movement. But when I fade away or step back it's cash. Mid post fades, mid range stepbacks and spin moves are a high % shot for me. But catch and shoot on the wing or 3pt line like Klay is ASS. I'm wondering if I just need to incorporate loading my hips more or jumping higher on the 3pt shot? I jump high on mid range and closer shots, but don't jump very high when shooting long range shots. Ugh

But when I try and move my set point to around the side of my eye/head, my forearm feels so tight and tired. I have big hands but not nba shooting guards like mikes hands.

I think curry shoots as well as he does because of his repetition and footwork. I feel like the angle of his body and fluid motion affect his shot a lot more than his fingers.

i agree with most of the stuff that you said except the fact that you shouldn't add a thumb flick to your shot. Everyone is different obviously, but I used to have a thumb flick and when i stopped using it i had a better shot. My shot improved even more when i readded my thumb flick. Why? becuase before i was flicking my thumb wrong, i realised that there is a correct and incorrect way to flick your thumb, idk how to explain it without a visual but basically the correct way to do it is shooting the same way you would without a flick but tucking your thumb in while your off hand is leaving the ball. i recommend everyone should try it but make sure to be doing it the same way curry does it.

I don’t know if you’ll notice this comment but im a pretty decent shooter with a thumbflick and i push the ball with my guide hand not in a excessive way but the thumb flick helps me balance and rotate the ball while shooting. My problem is the midrange I cant hit midrange jumpers which is pretty odd. Should i just start from scratch? I did a workout earlier my free throw is 92/100 and threes is around 65/100 i have a hard time shooting on the corner since it’s closer. But the flick helps me balance the ball more. Fatigue I believe was a factor too.
