FT% (3)

6/10
8/10
8/10
7/10
8/10
10/10
7/10
9/10
8/10
9/10

80/100 = 80%

Thinking that my FT% was inflated, I mixed things up today. For each 10 FT set for the first 5 sets; I made 5 layups before going to the line. This was to imitate real game situations; heightened heart beat, heavy breathing - as you can see it did effect my shooting. For the 2nd 50 FT's I made 5 3's before every set of 10 (the key word is 'made'; if I was shooting 33% that means I took 75 3's inbetween those FT's). Again, this simply helps me practice quickly transitioning from long range bombing to the set FT shot. After mixing in the layups and 3-pointers I'm exactly at 80%, not so bad.

I should change my blog title to "Chronicles of a Free Throw Shooter".

Good way to practice your FTs. Next time, do more layups and more 3s. That way you are practicing lay ups, 3s and FTs.
