With that being said there is one technique I have seen a ton of success with. This the area on the back of the net where the small diamonds connect to the bigger ones. This can be super effective because if you to hit your target exactly it will result in a swish. With the front iron or back iron method, a perfect shot can still result in a miss. I feel it also gets better results then aiming for the soft area over the rim because there is still a specific target to shoot for.
Before answering the question, I did a quick poll on social media asking…. For me, in training, it all comes down to consistent repetition creating instinctual reaction. As a shooter, the most important thing is said consistency and instinctual reaction rather than conscious thought. Shooting is much of the same. You score points by putting the ball in the basket; not by hitting the front of the rim, not by hitting the back of the rim. I teach players to focus on the nearest part of the rim until the ball goes through or makes contact with the rim.
I know there are several different theories on this particular topic and many great shooters, including Steph Curry, commonly watch the flight of the ball, but I think focusing on the target, the rim, is the most effective. When shooting darts, would you watch the path of the dart, or focus on the triple twenty or bullseye on the dart board? The answer is obvious, you would focus on the dart board. One of the most important aspects of shooting is one of the most simple… where are you aiming?
There are a lot of different ideas out there, but I firmly believe in one. I encourage players to find the farthest part of the rim from them no matter where they are standing on the floor, or the back of the rim. The reason is simple… we know we are going to get tired as we play. So if there is that guarantee that we are going to lose energy, I want to aim for the longer target and leave room to miss short.
In addition, I try to get the players I work with at the NBA level to lock in on as small a targets as they can, as early in their shot as possible. I believe and teach that players should aim for the back half of the basket. I am a huge advocate that every ball go up and over the rim and I hate it when shooters miss short.
Short shots have no chance of going in, but a shot that is up and over the rim has the possibility to fall, even if there was an error on the shot. If a player is going to make an error, I would like that error to count for 2 points. Good shooters are never left, right, or short. Good shooters shoot straight shots that go up and over the rim. Aiming for the back half of the rim gives the shooter the best chance to never be short. The majority of shots are missed short and that is why I teach to aim for the back half of the basket.
More important than the spot on the rim a player focuses on when shooting is the consistency with which he or she is able to lock onto that spot. Whether a player is comfortable focusing on the front, back, or middle of the rim, be sure to stress to them the importance of finding that spot every time. When I work on this with my players, we try to focus on the middle of the hoop. While a bit more ambiguous than the front or back of the rim, it allows players to stay consistent wherever they are shooting from top, wing, corner, etc.
Further, focusing on the middle of the hoop can help a player make shots even when they are slightly off their mark, as there is more room for error than with a shot targeted at the front or back of the rim.
Aim small, miss small! My recommendation would be to aim for the middle of the rim and imagine the basketball halfway down prior to the shot attempt. As a skills coach and former player, I tried the recommended methods of aiming for the front or back of the rim but would end up short or long with many shot attempts. What I teach through our concepts with Pure Sweat Basketball is if you aim for the front of the rim and the ball hits the front of the rim, you have accomplished your goal.
It's actually quite simple: Envision the V as shown here on an actual backboard. Then visualize a vertical bar that sits 3. Wherever you see the two cross, that's where you aim for a high-percentage bank shot. The problem is, teaching players to shoot high-percentage bank shots — because science tells us they have a better chance of going on — runs counter to the basic fundamentals of hoopdom. We see the rim, we want to shoot the ball at the rim. Shooting nothing but bank shots goes against human instinct, but it can be taught.
With enough reps — hopefully not 10, hours worth — you could train your eye to launch the ball at some arbitrary point away from the rim. Provided that your release point, ball rotation and body momentum remain constant, aim point can certainly be adjusted, especially if science convinces us our chances of scoring will go up.
Oh, and the above scenario actually happened to Princeton's Doug Davis on Saturday. According to research from the North Carolina State University, engineers found that basketball had a better chance of achieving game-winning buckets with bank shots than direct shots. The investigators used computer simulations that replicated one million possible shots.
The back of the backboard and the area directly behind it are out-of-bounds. Unless the player can mentally and physically memorize the speed, power, and trajectory of each free throw shot that requires the backboard, then those shots are guaranteed.
The study suggests that the best spots are on the sides of the backboard. Further, bank shots made in a relatively small area in front of the free-throw line seems to be the ideal area in making free-throw bank shots. Although, studies suggest that performing bank shots properly may have higher chances of success than using other types of shots, like jump shots and layups. For example, the opposing team put up a strong defense, which makes it more challenging than usual to go near the hoop.
Hence, the player holding the ball might prefer using other shooting techniques as opposed to using bank shots. Still, mastering the bank shot can become a valuable asset to relatively any basketball player. Science proves that using this type of shot has a higher chance of success than other shooting styles. NBA players still need to practice it frequently to become better at banking basketballs. A launch angle of 52 degrees minimizes velocity compared to shots with more arc or less arc.
Less velocity means less chance of a rebound that misses the basket. The NCSU computer simulations also filled a gaping hole in basketball wisdom: although lay-ups and bank shots off the backboard are the most common shots in basketball, no one knew with any certainty the optimum spot on the backboard for making the ball drop in for two, or three, points.
Simulations showed that the optimal banking points varied with the location of the shooter, as expected. To determine where on the V a bank shot should hit to have the greatest chance of going in, a shooter imagines a vertical line behind the backboard.
