In the Straight Force Shooting Theory article, I have mentioned many times that a good shooting set point must with a low elbow position. If your shooting set point with high elbow position, your shooting foundation will be unstable, your upper body will be easy to shake. I have more than 10 good set point shooting forms in the last 10 years, finally I found when our main arm at horizontal line or even a little low, we will find our shooting get more comfortable and easily. Such as Stephen Curry, Ray Allen, Reggie Miller, Michael Jordan, Kyrie Irving, Steve Nash, etc.

There are still many good shooters' shooting with high elbow shooting form, such as Larry Bird, Allan Houston, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Rashard Lewis, etc. They are all can get high score in the NBA games and have a good shooting percentage, but if you compare them with the low elbow shooters shooting form, you will find the low elbow shooters shooting a little more stable. If you master the Shooting skill, you can easy to test the reason.

Why Kyrie Irving's shooting so good, the most importand reason is he shoot with the low elbow shooting set point. Now let me share you the details:

Low Elbow Shooting Form Feature

Just as the picture shows, when the set point posture looked at the right side, our two shoulders and elbows are at the same height, especially our right shoulder and our right elbow almost in a horizontal line. Our right shoulder blocked our chin, so in the picture we can not see our chin.

Right Shoulder Feature

The right forearm is not vertical so you do not need use 3 90 degree theory in Irving's shooting form, of course the same with Stephen Curry's shooting form. The intersection angle between main arm and forearm is very small, that will make you shoot a long three easily.

Right Hand Feature

Kyrie Irving is a player, in NBA nowadays, almost all good shooter's right hands are not shooting with empty palm. We all shoot with full hand force, this skill will make you ctach ball tight and use your most of power to shoot. If you shoot with empty palm, you will waste some of your shooting force.
