Stance\nIf you do not practice the proper stance you will never become a really good player\n\nBridge\nLearn the proper good bridge (fingers), how to shoot when a ball is near a rail, how to jack up over object balls\n\nStoke\nSame story as stance..without a good stoke there is only so far you can go!\n\nCutting\nLearn how to cut balls in down near the corner pockets pockets..depending on the game 50% or more will be these shots\nPractice cutting into side pockets\nLearn how to run a frozen ball down a rail..ball and rail at same time (if you have good control use running English)\nPractice straight shots down the table (long straight shots are the most difficult shots)\n\nEnglish\nYou most learn draw...No good player uses top spin for long or fast shots (you loose allot of control) draw is used 10 times more than top spin. Always draw a little if your shooting hard.\n\nPractice trowing balls with right and left English, (you must lean how to throw balls or you will never be able to master position)\nlow right, center right, low left, center left (top spin is really only used on very special shots or if you want to follow with the cue.\n\nLearn how to stop the cue ball in it tracks-.straight shot center ball (requires a bit of a stab stroke)\n\nUse must learn how to draw the cue ball......I can draw the cue sometimes 3 rails...Yes I shoot great pool and still can draw a crowd if in a place where the people are into pool..I have a 6 rail shot has to be a good level fast table (I cut their eyes out, I bank like a crazy fool, I can put the cue ball on a dollar anywhere on the table)\n\nListen the real trick is to not have to think about the shot when you are shooting it....it has to become intuitive...(sure think about it before you shoot) and that cue has to become an extension of your body!\nGood luck!\n\nAnother tip the best players in the world are from The Philippines and guess what they all grew up playing (15 ball rotation) it'll teach you ever thing, position, kicking, bank, and on and on....very few people play it today. It's a tough game.  But become good at this game and you can play any game with mastery.\n\nAny questions e-mail me.....get a book and some videos...and always play with people that are better than you and watch them! (just don't play for money)

The best way of practicing before a game is to shoot around and do calf raises to make you faster and jump higher. All so do lay ups and practice your 3 pointers and jump shots

Two steps. You can still take a foot up off the ground from there but you can't put it down without releasing the ball. (shot or pass)

B.E.E.F [:\nBalance/Bended Knees...\nElbows[inward at a 90 degree angle]...\nEyes[on the target]...\nFollow Through[like a downward snap of the wrist] \n\nDon't use two hands...use your strong to shoot and your weaker hand to help balance the ball. Always make sure that you are squared up to the basket before you shoot. Start close and develop your technique then move back as you get better.

Depending on the height of your teammates, you'll probably play forward or center. And depending on your teams offense, you might not even have a center.\n\nYou should practice:\n1) Posting-up\n2) After you catch the ball posting-up, try dribbling backwards and turning and shooting with the ball over your head.\n3) Practice hook shots and bank shots with both hands.\n4) Watch your feet and make sure you don't travel, many big guys under the hoop travel.\n5) Defensively, just keep your man away from the basket. Being able to block shots, block out for rebounds is an obvious plus.

Make sure you have the proper, comfortable stance and balance.\nSee the rim.\nExtend your wrist backwards.\nThe basketball should rest on your fingerpads.\nTry to keep your elbow in and under the ball\nUse your legs... the longer the shot, the more you use your legs.\nRaise the ball smoothly and in one, fluid motion.\nFinish high with your arm to get good "arc" on the shot.\nFlop your wrist with a constant, relaxed follow through to get that backspin for a "shooter´s touch".

There are several factors in shooting, such as your height, strength and experience.  I'll assume you are five feet or more and you cannot make anything.  First, start off about 2 feet from the basket at a 45 degree angle Either side, doesn't matter.  Next, start putting up the ball off the top corner of the painted square on the backboard closest to your side.  this will help with lay ups and with your confidence that you can make the basket.  Start with the ball where it is comfortable, either at your shoulder (shooting hand side, of course), or where I do, at the forehead.  Your off hand (non-shooting) should be on the ball for support so you don't drop the ball, but should not help in any way putting the ball up.  Your shooting elbow should be as straight up and down as you can, do NOT let your shooting elbow move outside your body.  Your aim should be as follows:  if you are right handed, your right eye, right arm, and right leg should all be pointing in the direction you want to shoot.  Next, bend your knees, then, in one fluid motion, rise up from the legs and come off the ground while at the same time extending your shooting hand.  At the peak of your jump (it doesn't have to be very high) your shooting arm should be fully extended and at the very end, flick your wrist to get rotation on the ball.  Back up a few feet when comfortable but keep the same angle on the backboard.  Try both sides of the basket.  When you are confident enough, move directly in front of the basket about 8-10 feet away (15 feet is the free throw line).  Keep the same aim with your body--hand, eye, leg.  This time, however, instead of looking at the backboard, this time you will look directly at the front of the rim.  Why the front and not the back?  Simply put, the rim is forgiving in front, but not the back.  if you overshoot when you are aiming at the front, it goes right in.  if you undershoot, it will hit the rim but, because of the rotation on the ball that I hope you have, it will have a tendency to roll in.  Aiming at the back of the rim is a popular way of shooting, but it is less forgiving than the front.  Hopefully this helps.  just remember, your eye, the ball, your shooting hand and shooting side leg should all line up to the spot where you want the ball to go.  keep your elbow straight and try not to let your off hand help the ball up.  And, as always, flick that wrist for ball rotation.  it will only help.  if you would like to see a picture perfect shooting technique, rent the movie "Hoosiers" and watch jimmy chitwood shoot.  its perfect.  good luck.

work hard always move at full speed never give up. stay in front of your man on defense keep your eye on his midsection instead of his head stay on the balls of your feet when on defense. always have your hands out on defense. when pushing the ball up court always have your head up. Dont dribble so much and make strong passes shoot when your open dont wait. Be aware on the court look for mismatches smaller guy defending bigger guy or slower guy gaurding faster guy. If a guy is shooting good that day try to give him the ball until he starts missing then start driving to the hoop.

there should be a hand on the ball and the other hand extended for a pass. dont get too close because they will cross you over. keep a distance and when he wants to jump put a hand up and jump also\nlook at this website and look at the defenders hands. \nhttp://media.scout.com/Media/Image/29/292521.jpg
