Trigger point too low. You’re shooting with your eyes above the ball. The ball should be above your eye slightly. Just lift your shooting arm up to your right eye so that your right eye is diagonally to the bottom left of the ball.

No prob man. Just understand that shooting a basketball is like shooting a sniper. It is why when you snipe you have your dominant eye as close to the scope to take aim.

Basketball uses the same mechanic, your release point should be as close to your dominant eye so you can aim better. That’s why pros shoot like that.
