Below is a good shooting drill called the "Range Finder". Use this drill in the offseason while doing your own shooting workouts.
- "Range Finder" Drill.
- This drill is best with three players and two balls (rebounder, feeder and shooter); however, it can be done with just two players (rebounder & shooter). The shooter keeps shooting the ball along one of the designated shooting spokes (area). Any time they make three shots in a row, they take a step backwards (away from the basket). Any time they miss three shots in a row, they take one step forward. You will quickly find your comfort or sweet spot.
-
- Early in the season determine your shooting range for all five spokes (right baseline, left baseline, right wing, left wing and straight out from basket). Each spoke will be different. During the season check your spokes periodically as needed.
- During a game work hard to create a open shot within you range for each these spokes. Don't let your ego or outside pressures take you outside your range.
