If you have never been taught the correct way to shoot a power layup then it can be tough to take the ball strong to the basket.

Here are few important tips you want to consider:

- Keep your shoulders parallel to the backboard
- Make your jump stop medium
- Finish high and away from the defense

There are a ton of different times in a game when it is a good idea to use a power layup.

Here just a few:

- When operating in the post
- When penetrating against a smaller guard
- On a fast break
- Anytime you wan to use a shot fake

I also break down a few other basketball fundamentals in the video such as jump stopping.

Remember, when you jump stop you want to jump off 1 and land on 2 and if your jump stop is too small you will be off balance and most likely travel. If your jump stop is too big then it is slow.

Whenever you want to jump stop into your shot it is better to "drop your butt" into your jump stop then to actually jump up and spend time in the air. It is much faster if you drop your butt into your shot.

Ok that's about it.

I hope you enjoyed my tutorial on how t shoot a power layup in basketball and hopefully you learned some new tips.

Remember, elite players don't complicate the game. They just do the basic fundamentals at an elite level.
