VR Basketball Shooting Guide - Essential Tips for Better Gameplay

1. Focus on Wrist Movement and Form

Wrist angle matters: Keep your wrist relaxed and slightly bent downward for better control when shooting.

Use your dominant hand: Always shoot with the hand you normally use (right-handed players use right hand, left-handed use left).

Turn off auto-assist: Disable "Auto snap guide hand" to avoid strange shot arcs.

2. Understanding Shooting Settings

Difficulty Level

Beginners should choose "Casual" mode.

Switch to "Pro" mode when you feel more confident.

Best Time to Release

Release the ball at the highest point of your jump.

Watch for the moment your player pauses in the air—that's when you should shoot.

3. In-Game Tips

Smart Shooting

Avoid shooting too far from the basket (e.g., half-court shots lower your chance to score).

Use mixed moves like spin + fadeaway to create space.

Don't force a shot when heavily guarded.

Dribbling Well

Start with the ball in your dominant hand.

Keep your moves unpredictable—add crossovers and fake moves.

If trapped, drive toward the basket or pass instead of just dribbling.

4. Important Reminders

Taking bad shots (like half-court attempts) will make teammates upset.

Stay confident but make smart choices.

Practice combo moves to get open shots.
