When talking about what should be the target when shooting a free throw, my guest author for this month's article knows more than a little about how to find that target. Jim "Makevery" Schatz is a free throw shooting master, shooting 96% or better in free throw competition and exhibitions.
What should the target be that the shooter focuses on while shooting a free throw? There are many ideas, but the author describes his idea for the "sweet spot"/target.
If you perform a Google search for “free throw” and click on some of the links, you will quickly find there is no agreement, even among expert coaches, in regards to targeting while shooting free throws. Some coaches say aim at the back of the rim, some say aim at the front of the rim, some say aim above the rim and I say, aim at the "sweet-spot"/bulls-eye target.
