How to Shoot Free Throws
Hi, this is Ryan Tapp on behalf of Expert Village we are shooting around the court. We are going to start with the foul shoot. The foul shot is probably one of your best set shots around the court to master. Just because you should be taking a lot of them, you would be taking more foul shoots then probably any other shot. Also when practicing it is going to be your basic set shot. The foul line is straight in the front of the basketball hoop and so when you take a shot there is a little bit more give in a foul shot then any other shot. Because the backboard is right behind it. So if your over shoot or if your shoot a little bit to eh side but you have a right back spin on it. The backboard is there to kind of give for the ball to rebound off of and give you a better chance of the ball falling into the hoop.
