If your shot is inconsistent, drifting sideways, or just doesn't feel locked in,  your hand placement is probably the culprit. Coach Meech breaks down exactly where your shooting hand and guide hand need to be on the basketball every single time you shoot, then puts it to the test with 4 progressive drills across 5 spots on the floor.
Here's what we cover:

✅ Form shooting at the rim — finding the correct hand position on the ball
✅ Free throw line drill — maintaining proper placement through your pre-shot routine
✅ Behind the back wrap drill — training your hands to find the right spot from any position
✅ Dribble + behind the back drill — challenging hand preparation off the live dribble
✅ Split feet air pass drill — adjusting hand placement on off-balance and awkward catches

Key details covered:
- Shooting hand middle finger vs. split grip alignment
- Guide hand fingertip placement near the white line or logo
- How to make sure your thumbs form a "T" — and why it matters
- The most common mistakes players make in each drill

Whether you're a high school player trying to clean up your form or a college player looking to shoot more consistently in games, proper hand placement is the foundation everything else is built on.
