Hammer Shooting with Dr. Dish

Many think that basketball shooting machines are only for off-season training. But, it’s critical to make sure that every player is getting plenty of repetitions during the season as well with basketball shooting drills. Even more importantly, it’s essential that players are getting up game-like shots!

Coach Nick of BBALLBREAKDOWN got on the court to demonstrate practicing the Hammer Action on the Dr. Dish. Check out the video below for how you can work on “Hammer Shooting” and incorporate the action in your offense.

Whether it’s a designed play in your offense or just an action for each time one of your player’s drive to the baseline, the Hammer Action is a great option to get open corner jump shots.

It’s very important to make sure players understand that if one of their teammates attacks towards the baseline, the opposite side wing needs to rotate to the corner to give the driver an easy kick out option. Once the ball handler has confidence that his teammate will be there ready to receive the pass, the play becomes that much more dangerous.
