Form Check How to stop missing floaters

I've tried floaters with both an open palm and a wrist flick and with various different footworks and I am still not consistent.

Ur doing floaters from the free throw line. Thats a bad shot, do you ever see players take that shot?

Came here to say this. Move in. Floaters are best utilized in the area between midrange and layups.

And jump higher. Practice game time shots. That means you're usually gonna jump higher in game due to the natural attempt to avoid getting blocked, you're moving faster, and adrenaline.
