Power Calibration
The power meter fills as you hold. Release at the right moment: too little and the ball falls short, too much and it bounces off the back rim. Practice the timing for each distance.
Angle Adjustment
For straight shots, aim slightly above the front rim. For bank shots off the backboard, aim at the top corner of the square on the backboard.
Trick Shot Approach
Trick shots often require bouncing off surfaces. Study the level layout for ramps and walls before attempting the shot. The physics are consistent once you learn them.
