– Start in the paint and progressively move backwards one step at a time.
**KEY: DO NOT USE YOUR LEGS TO POWER YOUR SHOT**
– Your lift point will start to get lower the further you progress backwards
– Once you’re comfortable and understand a good lift point with power. Move on.
– If at anytime you lose it. Come back to this drill.
Pt. 2: Finding the Lift Point
– Start in the paint and progressively move backwards one step at a time.
**KEY: DO NOT JUMP TO POWER YOUR SHOT**
