Hundreds of shots a day on a Dr. Dish
A player who uses a Dr. Dish machine says it is very efficient, gets hundreds of shots up in no time, and is easy to take down alone.
What they did
They answered a parent asking whether a rebounding machine is worth it. They shoot on a Dr. Dish every day.
How it went
They said they get hundreds of shots up quickly and can remove the machine easily on their own.
Worth knowing
Machines give you volume. Other people in the same thread pointed out that passes straight from the machine are easier than game shots, so mix in game-speed catches.
Try it yourself
High-volume machine session
- Write down your make rate from three spots before you start.
- Do a 20-minute machine session of catch-and-shoot from those spots.
- Every few minutes, add a shot fake and one dribble before shooting.
- Re-test the same three spots at the end of each week.
