it uses muscle memory and helps u make ur shots. the record holder for free throws created this method, and he is 80 years old. he made a few thousand free throws in a row using this method, before taking his afternoon nap
That is interesting, i've also seen the best in their sport use visualization. Just visualize yourself doin your routine and makin em before you shoot. One great who used this was Arnold Palmer, same thing for golf swing and foul shots they are all about consistency
