4-time NBA champion 2-times NBA scoring champion, Future Hall of Famer
Shooting was a skill I never had to develop. I scored with layups and dunks. Even during my early pro career that’s how I dominated. When I got to the Lakers teams were stopping me by fouling. They would foul before I could score and send me to the free throw line. I got tired of the fouling. I got tired of missing most of my free throws, and I got tired of fans, haters and especially the media verbally abusing me for my poor shooting skills. I never wanted to hear again the words “hack a Shaq.” I called Coach Eddie. The first day we met that evening’s game against Seattle I was 0 for 11 from the free throw line. On the day I finished with Coach Eddie the game was with Denver I was 13 for 13. We went on to become world champions. If you want to improve your free throws and shooting call Coach Eddie. He is the best.

I now have a successful pro career in Germany. I commit time every off season to work with Coach Eddie."

He is an awesome instructor."

25 Years Head Basketball Coach LSU from 1972 - 1997
"Ed Palubinskas is the first of my players at LSU to be drafted. He is extremely bright and a masterful teacher of shooting free throws, which is grossly overlooked on all levels. He is a leader in the art of shooting and one of the leading free throw experts in the history of basketball anywhere on this planet. I highly recommend him; you will find none better."
Basketball Coach of SLAM Academy, Henderson Nevada
My players needed to become a better shooting team. Our free throw percentage was well below the national average although we spent a lot of time in practice shooting free throws. We began working with Coach Eddie and in a very short amount of time our players began to become good shooters and very good free shooters. He truly is a master of the art of shooting. He gave our team the confidence to shoot the ball and look forward to getting fouled and being on the free throw line. My players love working with Coach and look forward to the next session with Coach. If you want to become a good or even great shooter Coach Ed is the answer.
Father of a student of Eddie Palubinskas
Ed has been a great instructional developer for my son Cameron. When we started with Ed, Cameron shot around 48% from the free throw line. After workouts and adjustments from Ed, Cameron ended up around 85% on free throws. Ed understands the details and mechanics on a very granular level that I have never seen before. He can elevate your game!
Assistant Coach Central High School LA
Ed’s method of shooting mechanics is like no other, the hand triangle is the most stable and strongest method of shooting the ball. Unlike the traditional taught, hand in the cookie jar principle which results in mediocrity as evidenced worldwide. Ed’s dynamic scientific principles guarantee success and definitely shooting superiority.
