You just need to keep practicing. You won't see results the next day. You have to work hard and keep at it. I would say that if you practiced every day, then you would see a very big change in about 2 to 1 1/2 weeks. Don't give up.In Basketball how do you practice to make a left hand lay-up?
Not really if once you get the hang of it...If you practice a lot it gets just as easy with your right...When you attempt a layup with your left hand, remember to jump off your right foot...Nothing practice won't cure
just keep practicing i don't know if you workout but if you do straighten your left hand
You do it over and over again.
I have the same problem...You just have to practice shooting with that hand a lot and it just comes naturaly...
It's not hard if you practice it often. I used to have no left-side game whatsoever but after intensive practice I can finish with both hands.
Start from up close, right below the basket. Use your left hand to push the ball off the board to make it go in. Practice those.
After you can consistently make those, add the footwork. Start from about two feet from the basket. Take two steps; left, right, then off the board. (your left knee is lifted up as well) Practice those.
And then after you can consistently make those, start from the three point line. Dribble to the basket with your left hand, stop, step with your left, step with your right, then off the board. Your lead foot should be your right foot during your last dribble. If at any time you stuff up, try doing it without the dribble. Practice those.
And then, final step, after you're confident with all those, you can get complex. Practice lefty floaters, lefty reverse layups and lefty dunks (if, of course, you can get up that high). I have a friend that can shoot with both hands, so if you really want you can practice those as well.
However, don't forget to practice all the other facets of the game as well, like footwork, passing and defense.
for all right hand layups, do double the left hand layups. Also, practice dribbling with your left. Most important is practice. Try doing it in slow motion, it helped for me. Try doing a fundemental shot with your left hands from 2-3 feet out, and analyze what happened. If you understand proper fundementals of shooting, you can figure out how to fix each shot, and soon, see a big difference in lefty layups. If you don't know the fundementals too well, check out pistol petes basketball homework on youtube.
I can do it easily, but I'm ambidextrous :) You just have to practice. Do a lot dribbling with your left, shoot with your left, etc. What I do is lay with my right (on right side of basket) catch the ball, go to the left side of the basket, layup with left hand and repeat.
Like a lot of people have said already, you should start out doing ';point blank'; lefty layups really close to the basket.
But to really get it down you have to count your steps and analyze the way you hold the ball on a normal layup.
Notice on a normal layup (right handed) you might take 3 steps and swing the ball with both hands, to your right before you lay it up with your right hand.
Well, try to do the same steps as you would a righty layup except in slow motion, but this time swing it to your left side and go for the layup with your left hand.
Just keep doing it in slow motion until it gets more comfortable, then it will eventually become natural and you can do it normally.
