What the best technique to shoot a free throw in basketball?
There are one of two major ways to shoot a free throw. The one i do is facing directly at the hoop (both feet and chest), start with a steady stance width and start by looking at the pole of the basketball hoop and slowly look up to the rim. While looking up about a foot before the rim bring the ball back to your face (more to the right side if right handed), keep your right elbow in *EXTREMELY IMPORTANT, and shoot the ball following through with your hand pointing down. The other technique is pretty much the same but instead face your feet about 45 degrees to the left (right handed) and keep your feet close together. This usually helps to keep the ball on a steady trajectory.
