Shooting Tips #4 - Free Throw

Do you have problem in shooting free throw? In clutch games, free throw is really important for the team. You get fouled and stand on free throw line to shoot the ball, but you don't know what to do? You doubt about your free throw accuracy? You don't have that confident? That mean you got that problem, man... Don't dissapoint your teams...
Most of players doesn't thought free throw is important, for me, it's a clutch' shot. Here I got some free throw tips... So, lets check its out!
  1. Line the foot that corresponds with your shooting hand—if you’re right handed, your left foot—up with the nail that is nailed into the center of every free throw line in every gym, across the country. If you are shooting outside, try to guess where the center of the foul line is. This guarantees you a level of alignment with the rim, helpful to your success. Though there are exceptions to the rule, most great free-throw shooters follow this line of thinking (even if they won’t admit it).
  2. Fix your eyes on the front of the rim. Do not use the back of the rim, or, even worse, the white square on the backboard as your point of reference. Doing so means that you are looking towards a place on the basket where, if you hit them, you will most probably miss. Whereas, if you aim towards the front of the rim, your mind automatically tells you to shoot the ball at this point with a trajectory conducive to a friendly bounce. And even if you hit the front of the rim, if you have the rotation that you should as a shooter, the ball will roll into the basket.

Do not just read this post and try it twice and you think you able to do better free throw! You must REPEAT, REPEAT, and REPEAT!! I think you must practice its until they become automatic! Hardworking produce a better skill, have a nice practice...
