Practice like this: Put your middle finger on the middle of the seam of the ball. Lie down on your back and use only that hand to toss the ball in the air. When the ball is straight like that, you can tell if you have proper backspin. When you release the ball, make sure it rolls off your fingers.
Shooting a Basketball is all about using proper mechanics. First off, you will want to make sure you understand what "BEEF" means. Beef stands for Balance, eyes, elbow, follow through. When shooting a basketball you want to put your strong arm into a "L" shape while resting the ball on your fingertips. You should have a little gap between the ball and your palm. Now, I just stated what BEEF is. First we want to square our feet to the basketball and make sure we have good balance. If you're right handed your right foot should be slightly in front of your left foot and vis versa. Now that you have good balance you want to go to your elbow. As i stated, you want your arm to be in an L shape with the ball resting on your fingertips. Your elbow should be directly under the ball. You do not want it poking out awkwardly. If your elbow is going to the side that's what we called a chicken wing and you want to fix that. Now on to eyes. Your eyes want to be focused on either the front or back of the rim. Follow through in my opinion is the most important aspect of having a good shot. When you shoot, you do not want to throw or "push" the ball towards the basket. You want to bend your legs and bring down your elbow. When you rise to shoot you want to bring your elbow straight up and flick the ball backwards to give it good arc and good rotation. Now, when the ball is released your arm should be pointed straight up and your hand pointing down. This is your follow through. To know if you're shooting correctly you need to look and make sure your follow through is not in a straight line towards the basket. If your follow through is going straight towards the basket or in front of you that would mean you have a flat shot and not enough arc. If you practice these tips I can ensure your shot will be more consistent and it will help you score more.
