Your main problem is probably your pocket, if you follow all what berger said.

The pocket needs whip to hold the ball in, just like an underhand shot.

So, you can do a couple things to make your pocket able to rip that sidearm, just like you want.

You can pound the pocket to make it deeper, and move the pocket higher up in the head. If the ball normally rests right beneath the shooters, you should be able to shoot sidearm.

You can tighten up your shooters, which always works.


In the end, it will all come down to how much you practice though. Keep trying it, and one day it will magically work perfectly.

Also, in reality, the sidearm isn't all that valuable. In some cases, it will really help, but those cases show up next to nothing. The straight over, bounce shot is the one that works charms. Practice it. Practice it. Practice it.
