How do you shoot the basketball correctly if you shoot with your left hand?

Same way you would if you would if you were right-handed. Look at Michael Redd, he's left-handed and has a great shot.

Before you shoot from a few feet away, try shooting under the basket and hitting it off the backboard. Make atleast ten shots in a row(if you miss one, start over) and move a little farther(like a step or something) and try not using the backboard if you are not comfortable with the distance. Repeat this and you will see improvement in your shot and control of the ball.\n\nGreat Luck to You.

... r u serious you can buy a book for that demonstration thing u know, or send your 14 young'n to a basketball club training camps for that\n\n... here's my own demo "do the exercise follow through take an Indian squat sittin', then throw the ball upward (straight-up) for how many times as you wanted maybe 10x, 20x, 30x, "\n\n ..if you're a right handed person "your right hand who throw the ball would be in L-shaped (before throwin' the ball), and straight-up hand (after you release the ball) ..your left hand fingers support only don't move it\n\n..remember only fingers will touch the ball for follow through"

first, strive to be ambidextrous (ability to dribble with both hands). then learn the Spin Move, Pivoting, Thru The Legs, Windmill, Butterfly, Spider, Etc. Basics are all the same. Juz Pass the ball more often & avoid too much body contact with opponents. we're not professionals anyway. Let the Centre or Forwards do the scoring job.

ok this is what you do:  put your feet shoulder-width apart. if your right handed, put your right foot slightly ahead of the other, if your left handed, vice versa. point your right hand (or your left) to your right toe. then point your finger directly up.then point it to the sky, but make a right angle with your elbow, shoulder, and finger. Open your fingers like your holding a basketball. your index finger should be pointing at your eye. take you other hand (your guide hand)and with your thumbs  make a sideways T. then shoot. Trust me. this works. emila me if you live in Southern Cali.

I am a basketball coach and yes, you can grab the ball out of another players hands if he or she is just holding it.  If you try to take it while the other person is in the process of shooting then you will get a foul and the other person will get two free throws.

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.

If you use a single handed grip then I guess you just slice it back crosscourt, and make your opponent come over the baseline to get it. (I'm not really the person to ask on that one)\n\nIf however, you are like me and play a double-handed backhand then make sure you are well prepared, and play a topspin shot down the line short, or crosscourt deep. Make sure you roll it over and do not hit the net or put the shot out. It is better to return a horribly short return than to put it out, as at least you have a chance.\n\nNOTE: If your opponent has a particularly good and fast  serve, then make sure you get it deep and crosscourt.\n\nAlso, if they are playing serve and volley, hit is down the line low and hard, making sure you don't pull the shot out.\n\nHope this helps, and hope your not a beginner, or this will seem like jargon.

First, don't try to "kill" the ball. That will throw you WAY off. Either right or left handed, you can swing sooner and/or later and shift which way the ball goes...best way to hit is stand straight with the batter's box and when you swing, step in to the swing. This will give you more momentum on your bat.\n\nOne of the biggest mistakes that you can do, though really, is "killing" the ball. A lot of times, it will send a ball straight into foul play.

Start by treading water to keep your head and shoulders above the surface.  Hold the ball in both hands.  Your dominant hand is holding the ball above your head.  The hand is underneath, to push the ball, with elbow bent and wrist bent backward.  Your other hand is on the side, to guide the ball.  Push the ball by straightening your elbow and flicking your wrist to apply backspin.

Practice shots that you'd take in a game. Stand still, catch and shoot. Stand still, catch, dribble and shoot. Catch while on the move and shoot. Catch while on the move and fake or just go right into the dribble and then shoot. And, creating off of fakes (while a pivot foot is planted). Make sure you square up to the basket when shooting. Both feet should be pointing at the basket, and your body should square up to it. Make sure your power is coming from your legs, not your arms. Remember to follow-through on your shot. Practice like crazy. And be intense. Don't be lazy, work hard. If you half-heartedly practice getting shots off, they won't be very effective when a tough defender is near you in a real game

For yahoo pool....\nWhen shooting the cue ball, use the left mouse button to move the cue stick \n     around the cue ball. When you have positioned the cue stick where you want,\n     click and hold the right mouse button. Pull back on the mouse until you have\n      the desired power (displayed on the right side of the table). Let go of the right \n     mouse button to take your shot. To move the cue ball when you have ball in hand,\n     simply left-click the cue ball and drag it to the desired spot and drop it. \n     For more precise aiming you may use the arrow keys to line up your shot as well. \nTaken from the How To Play link on the main page for the game.

start by practicing your approach to the basket without a ball. timing and movement are more important than anything else at this point. you need to time your foot work with your layup. after about a couple days or so use the ball. this will help you judge more accurately the timing you need to let go of the ball on the height of your jump toward the basket. of course doing this with your left hand if you are right handed will take some time to master but it will help. good luck

When you do your shoot around try to feel the shot instead of aiming at the basket all the time. You need to establish the right rhythm so when it comes to the games it wont matter if there is a defender in your face or not. Rhythm is the key to shooting.

For a one-handed backhand:\n1. Keep your hips parallel to the long side of the court during the entire swing. In other words, don't twist your hips. \n2. Follow through with the racquet. \n3. Watch Roger Federer! His one-hander is the best. \nFor a two-handed backhand:\n1. Make sure your arms are extended during the swing. \n2. Hit a two-hander like you would a forehand with your non-dominant arm. So, if you're a righty, work on your lefty forehand and when you put your right hand on there, let your left hand do the most work. \n3. Start the stroke with your hips parallel to the long side of the court, but unlike the one-hander, twist your hips during the stroke. \n4. Follow through with both hands on your racquet. \n\nIf all else fails, watch the pros!

position the inside two fingers and the outside two fingers as far apart as possible.  and then start practicing holding the ball with just fingertips.  Maybe three fingers will give you a slider, two will give you a bit more travel from left to right.\n\nPractice a lot, but don't blow out your arm.
