LoL I'm 5,5 but I'm not a adult yet still a freshmen in highschool so I have to jump to make it in lol. But yeah this video helped I was just shooting wrong
@@ZayK-WithDaDraco you dont need to jump actually, just train your bicep, tricep and your shoulders. As you go up and get the ball up, try to create momentum and stand on your toes in one motion.
Austin Chambers Thats true but it takes a whole lot more practice to get good with bad form, than it does to get just as good with proper technique. Technique is very important and makes progress much easier.
Great video! Can you explain correct elbow and wrist placement on the shooting arm and hand placement on the non shooting hand? For years I've shot with my elbow tucked and my feet staggered but to mixed results. For some reason, aligning my feet and untucking my elbow has straightened my free throw shot exponentially. Thanks for the awesome videos Coach!
great guide, as always! I would love a guide on shooting jump hook. I can't load the ball into shot pocket and it always comes off my hand with top spin. it must be something I do mechanically wrong with my jump hook.
Great video. Please make a video to improve game skills and overcome real game tension. I am never able to play as good as practice matches in real matches.
I'm a knock down shooter mid range and FT I saw this vid and wondered what he was going to say, I don't use any of this except maybe the nail. I believe that if you spin the ball and have all that flashy routine it throws off your shot. I like to look down dribble the ball three times take a nervous relief breath then look at the rim right when the ball I put the ball near my head that helps w/ people who think too much. If you wanna get better i recommend holding the ball a specific way every single time bc consistent action creates similar results. Find a comfortable hold, I like to hold the ball where my thumb and index finger and both touching the black lines. Also after every workout don't leave the gym until you hit 3 free throws in a ROW. I started this about a year ago and it got to the point where I would make 40 free throws in a row before swishing three. It changes your mindset. When I go to the line it's a swish mindset with me a make isn't enough.
I can shoot fade-aways 3 pointers jumpshots reverse layups and all those stuff but I can’t shoot free throws. I used to be good but now I am like 33 percent accuracy for free throws. I need some advice coach.
I bought a ball a week ago and practiced free throws for two hours, it took me hour and a half to hit 5/10, of course it is not consistent, on next ten I would hit 2 or none, havent played since 98(i m 32), I didnt put dominant foot forward, did the whole thing with feet aligned, so which way is better? I think my main problem is consistency of centering of my arms during the shot itself, I often go a bit to the left or right with my hands even though body is centered. Also how important is ducking a little bit before the shot
Hey Coach C. can you do a video on how to do the finger roll？I'm having issues when finishing towards the rim and often get blocked by the rim when doing the finger roll
I found that if you put the index finger on your shooting hand into the seam (indentation) aligned to the center of the rim. Also, have someone someone stand behind the backboard when you practice to make sure your front hip and shoulder are aligned properly, neither should move much if at all if aligned properly, the key is to remove as much unnecessary movement, left to right during the free-throw shot. Finally i suggest practicing at first from about 6-7 feet from the front of the rim to get the proper trajectory angle....I was self taught roughly 90% free throw shooter..
@ShotMechanics coach can you do damian lillard scoring school and thank you for this special video it will help me to improve my free throw percentage thank you !!!
I find the nail like u. But I load the ball high. Ive been doing it for years but I’m also a good free throw shooter. When I start low I start missing. But good tips
ShotMechanics you are a basketball genious. i use these mechanics my vest forward RJ had 25 pts 7 asts and 8 rebs in 3 qtrs. because of this. he will redshirt at LSU next year
+ShotMechanics Thanks man, also I have questions. Whats better, 100 well aimed free throw shots or 150-200 free throw shots that are not well aimed(pressure during game)
coach is there a difference between a school basketball court then battery park basketball court because my jumpshot is wet at battery park but trash at school please help asap
Dirk Nowitzki has his unusual pigeon-toed stance at the line, plus it looks like he may or may not line up to the nail. What do you think makes his free throw technique so effective?
im really bad at free throws. my shoulder feel so tense and really messes up my accuracy. i dont square up i feet, i also realised i dont jump at my free throw either. what should i do? a little hop, or just lift my feet.
TBH I just stand about 15 feet away take shoots and stand there and shoot. I don't bounce the ball at all. Just shoot like it's a free shot on any other plau
I airballed a free throw yesterday in a game so thats why I'm here
Ouch...
SAME
Same
Lol i missed 6 in a row last week
@@enochalfredd keep on working
I don't understand why I'm better at 3 point shooting than free throws...
Baller same bro.
Yeah bro same. what I do is I crouch down when u shoot free throws and it works for me
Jed same
Same
you s***
I actually made my first 2 freethrows in a row in a game, thank you so much for these tips it really helped me a lot!

@@shiiny2053 facts
@@ZayK-WithDaDraco how's your height now?
you gotta do how it feels right and if you arent that good than
you keep shooting and not worry..before you know it you will surprise yourself
I love the breakdown and explanations of why each detail is important. Rep out each detail and you're set!
Yeah I find that practice is the most important part though. You can make almost any form work if you work on it enough
Austin Chambers
Thats true but it takes a whole lot more practice to get good with bad form, than it does to get just as good with proper technique. Technique is very important and makes progress much easier.
tomorrow is my championship game. wish me luck
