What is proper foul shot technique?

Common Free Throw Routine

You begin at the foul line with your feet shoulder width apart. Pick up the ball and dribble a few times with two hands. Bend your knees a couple of times, take a deep breathe or two. Now concentrate only on the rim, visualize the ball going through the rim, then shoot a nice, balanced shot. Use your legs to get the arch needed. Snap the wrist, follow through, then go get your made shot and do it again.
