My elbow hurts when i shoot a basketball?

Basketball- elbow placement (pistol pete)?

  • In "basketball shooting 1 (the setup) by pistol pete,(on youtube) he teaches you to line up your elbow PARALLEL(straight) with the basket. This is what he did, and if you line your elbow straight and parallel then it provides you the most consistency, whereas if you bend it a little, as most people do (especially young players) you will get less consistency. If you dont want to look at the video with pete then just think of how nash shoots, almost perfectly straight, and some other shooter that i cant get to my mind right now, but you know what i mean. So my question is- how can i get my elbow parralel to basket like that? I try but my elbow tilts, which gives me less consistency. Please dont answer"be happy with the wy you shoot" or something. Just help me out please. BQ: are you supposed to jump forward when you shoot? If so how much forward? Whats the best distance to be consistent ALL ANSWERS APPRECIATED
