October 19, 200817 yr Author comment_10745 *89/100* 81/100 69/100 The 89 ties my all-time record. I worked hard to try to beat the record and I missed my 98'th shot. I concentrated after that letdown and nailed the 99'th and 100'th to tie though. edit: whos I apparently was wrong. i did beat my record, not just tie it. i went back through this topic and apparently my record was 88 back in mid 2006. I looked afetr then at all my posts and I don't see an 89 anywhere so I guess I beat my record after all. This sucks. I got mad I only tied it and really I did beat it. lol I still wanted to break the 90 plateau though! What's interesting is notice I made 80+ the next batch after the 88 and the next batch after this 89. And trust me I expended a LOT of energy in the 89 because I was trying hard to beat that record. I seriously thought I didn't have enough energy left to do good, yet I got over 80 again. That third set definitely went downhill due to me being so tired. lol
January 14, 200917 yr Author comment_11138 Look what my layoff did to me. lol Notice the times of the posts. In October I was hitting good percentages usually. 57/100 58/100
February 6, 200917 yr Author comment_11208 51/100 58/100 Most of the issue was the angle of the sun, honestly. Once it was in a better position, I made 35 of my final 50.
February 8, 200917 yr Author comment_11211 48/100 One of my worst sets ever. I only made 19 of the first 50 too. I just kept flat shooting too hard and it would hit hard off the rim and bounce off repeatedly.
February 9, 200917 yr Author comment_11214 66/100 62/100 4/10 3s Yesterday I hit only 19 of my first 50. Today I hit more than that in my first 25! (20/25).
February 18, 200917 yr Author comment_11227 Man this last number shows how tired I got. I should have just stopped, but it was over 70 degrees today and tomorrow the high is barely over 40. So I wanted to get my shooting in today. I MADE ONLY 15 of my final 50 shots. hahaha. 66/100 49/100 68/100 66/100 44/100
February 21, 200917 yr Author comment_11232 66/100 61/100 67/100 5/10 3s (pitch black and 4 in a row)
March 11, 200916 yr Author comment_11290 Wow one shot today missed going in by what seemed to defy physics. It looked like it had rolled in and then it ended up going off the rim despite seemingly no momentum forcing it off. I also missed many more in weird ways really. 50/100 53/100 3/10 3s
March 18, 200916 yr Author comment_11317 I think the reason i have eben missing more shots is because I moved the free throw line to 15 feet from the backboard and usually I had it 15 feet from the net in the past. I "think" it's supposed to be from the backboard. Just those few inches make a huge difference, especially when you're used to shooting it one way and have to get your aim down for a new distance. That being said, I did start hitting them regularly again starting in the middle of my shots. 61/100 82/100 3/10 3s edit: actually that makes no sense... lol If I was once measuring 15 feet from the basket then now I would be CLOSER not further away. I think at one time I measured from the abse of the stand though. Whatever. Either way i am remeasuring now to be sure if I can move it up any.

March 24, 200916 yr Author comment_11333 yesterday: 55/100 60/100 4/10 3s Today: 59/100 64/100 4/10 3s
April 8, 200916 yr Author comment_11379 I don't know what the deal is with my mechanics lately. 50/100 50/100 62/100 3/10 3s I did make my final shots to at least get to 50 and to get to 70% for my final 50 shots at least.
April 18, 200916 yr Author comment_11394 78/100 79/100 69/100 6/10 3s Even the only small areas I had under 70% for were my last 50 fre throws (34/50) and my 3-pointers (6/10). I missed my 98'th shot to mess up that last 50 FT% and on 3's I missed my eighth one or I would have hit 70% there too. So I think the reason I had eben doing bad lately was due to the sun being in my eyes because today I did fine.
