CORRECTION Submitted May, 5, 2011
There is a report of ONE PERSON who shoots free throws underhand in organized basketball ... in this case ... at the High School Level. He is the Number One free throw shooter on his Varsity Basketball team. Last year, he shot 75 percent.

Canyon is the "fifth" Rick Barry son. It is reported that Brent Barry shot free throws underhand in high school and quit shooting underhand while playing at Oregon State.

A large part of the world keeps wondering why Almost No One shoots free throws underhand? I can cover my body with tatoos ... I can wear earrings on my toes ... and "other things" ... but ... there is NO WAY I'M Shooting Free Throws Underhand!

Update 3/17/2011
SoCooLBob is now 65 years old ... has very little left in his legs and/or lungs.
He currently shoots free throws two or three times a week and during several competitive sessions has shot in excess of 90 percent.

THIS ... The Underhand Free Throw
What's fascinating and instructive to me about this shot, is that this video, created and broadcast worldwide with over 100,000 views is just everything anyone would ever need to know about how to shoot 90 percent of your free throws successfully.
It's completely demonstrated.
The only thing remaining to achieve the objective is To Do It
And yet ... after all this time ... 45 years or so for a fellow named Rick Barry ... NOONE in the world shoots the shot this way in organized "competitions."
NO PROFESSIONAL
NO COLLEGE STUDENT
NO HIGH SCHOOL Basketball Player shoots free throws underhand ...
TODAY
How Come?
Update December 4, 2010
After three games of one on one, which currently leaves "old" SoCooLBob with no legs and little air, SoCooLBob shot over 90 percent, in competition with his son Jon, about 150 shots.
Had 5 ten out of tens including one 25 in a row.
I can't recall the last time I missed the last shot to tie or win.
Turns out you don't even need strong legs (although it will help) to be successful at this shot.

Original Description
SIMPLE RULE
If you want to learn how to do a thing, find a master and copy them. Wonder why almost nobody seems to follow this rule when it comes to making free throws? ... Rick Barry says it's EGO.
Wonder what that means?
That most people do, on account of EGO, what's not good for their EGO?
As SoCooLBob has analyzed this video and others over the years; as SoCooLBob has very occasionally practiced this simple skill, taught it and watched others, there are many additional positive thoughts I could add ... including.
Not only does Rick shoot this shot almost perfectly.
This presentation teaches you how to shoot it almost perfectly as well.

God, I wish I'd known about this guy back in high school. Our team could've used such an effective free throw. The thing is, none of the coaches even mentioned Rick Barry and his underhanded frees. I would've gladly used it during our games.
Rick is clearly one of the all time greats and he is a wonderful humanitarian as well.
Rick Barry has very nice hair.
All basketball players care about now are one on one moves and what club to go to at night.
The description of the body stance and wrist hinge joint mount during align release and follow through is AWESOME...
the definition of a machine is to perform a service successfully over and over again... Some players in the standard shot cannot get there ulnar-collateral ligament to get the fingers side by side on the popular free throw mount... Fact... This origin of propel is anatomically PERFECT and what an honor for us to receive this knowledge... Oh and for us at home-the wrist knowledge
Such a god at free throws, love shooting his free throws on NBA 2K7, I used his shot a few times and it worked, I am currently bout a 70 or so percent shooter, which isnt bad, but I should try 100 using this technique
Shaq missed the lesson
Thanx!! i know, he is such an insperation 2 me. I love basket ball and im glad that he is willing to train with ppl
4:57 is the free throw. Thank you
It is a proven fact that the "granny shot" is more accurate than the overhand shot. Regardless of how you play. The arc of the ball due to the granny shot is naturally more likely to go in the basket than that of the overhand, plus the backspin stops the ball if it hits the rim. It's simple geometry folks. The basket at a low trajectory looks looks like an oval to the ball whereas a higher trajectory creates a larger area for the ball to enter the basket.
omg i remember being taught this as a kid!
The practicality of this shot is in winning HORSE games. I found that if you want a higher free throw percentage a higher trajectory on the ball helps. I shoot my free throws like Derek Fisher and it works!!
if you shoot FT's overhead, you also practice your set shot and jump shot form..shooting free throws underhand is unefficient, as it only practices your underhand form(free throw). Inefficiency is why most people don't practice underhand free throws
you kinda look like phil jackson, when he was coaching the bulls
hey did you get his autograph?
i've always wanted his autograph since because he played for the golden state warriors. i have his jersey.
does he live in the bay area?
hmm...I'm pretty happy with my FT form but I'll def. give this a try now.
Completly opposite of Michael Jordan's advice that you should shoot FTs just like you shoot a regular spot-up shot.
Then again, MJ was 85%, Barry avged like 92%
this style puts a lot of emphasis on the softness with which the ball hits the rim. as important as that is, aim is more important, and few players can master this form of shooting aim-wise.
practice shooting FT's the way steve nash and jose calderon shoot, and you will hit 90%+ guaranteed.
His style of free throw is unusual but to him it is effective. He has a point, when you're on the line you want to relax and this style is in relax position. This might be one of the reasons why he has one of the greatest FT% in NBA history. Free throws is one of most neglected fundamentals of basketball.
Rick Barry had this shot down to a science. If the players in the NBA used this shot every game the scores would average well into the 100s all season.
@socoolbob im trying to shoot underhanded but i am strugglling. the ball bounces off the back rim. help please?
wow
any advice in learning how to do the shot?
I'm started trying an underhanded bank method yesterday and just an hour ago I hit 25 in a row. Its relaxing and all you have to do is hit the square and the ball will rock in
"If I can get it over the front of the rim, it's gonna go in" the next shot goes over the rim and clangs off the back rim...
Excellent instructional video. It's pretty funny that the first FT that he throws up is a total brick.
i tryed this an now my FT is WET
nice way to throw the ball !!
bottom line do whatever is comfortable and which works the best for you
His hands are HUGE
It is obvious he made the shot but hit the rim also. Which is why he said when he is having a contest with his friend shots that go in but hit the rim aren't counted. Read between the lines. Or rather, extrapolate.
Cool video. And he is correct people do not shoot this way because of ego. I know I won't unless I was a below 60% ft shooter and getting to the line often.
@socoolbob when i shoot underhanded, the ball bounces off the back rim. help please?
My Memphis Tigers may need to shoot like this
versatile doesnt mean i wanna learn everythin, it just means i can easily do anythin with little time. so lets look at it ur way, if i learn this i will get the Result easily, but my Reason would be, for fun. and id rather improve my current shot then waste my time learnin a new one for fun, u know?.
omg i was just mailed a letter saying that i am invited to train with Rick Barry!!!!!!!
@socoolbob thank you
keep pressing 4 !!!
And what would be the downside to me using those 3 hours a week for 6 weeks to improve my current shot? Or rather an aspect of my game that I feel I have not yet perfected? Learning underhand FTs, even if it takes me 2 days, will not come in handy unless someone walks up to me a says "Hey listen, make 5 in a row and I'll give you a million." And I'm not a very lucky guy so I won't hold on to that scenario ever happening. So chances are I'll have no time in actualy using what I've learned.
4:45 to save you some time haha
He didn't even convince his sons to adopt this technique
no i dont think shootin underhand free throws will contribute to anythin else. since i already learned to shoot regularly and learning a new way to shoot will only slow me down
i doubt it...
Rick Barry is the best. I get made fun of at school for shooting like him.
check out (Black Da Vinci) he shoots underhanded
Slam dunk reference
Shaq needs to go to this to up his game. 50 percent or less in the NBA will lead him no where.
jordan 84% barry 90%
Calvin Murphy career .892 Rick Barry career .900 slightly better. so what are you saying?
@AirDB23 says the guy that never played college or NBA ball
I think your answer might be a little bit different if you were in the league. Todays game is saturated with the fluff of advertisments and entertainment. Ego plays such a huge role in todays athletes and it'll take a very rare athlete to be willing to do something so far against the norm
i hope ur speaking generally and not directly to me, cuz i dont really wanna learn to shoot underhand, its unnecessary for me
wow i think teachin regular free throws is easier, well at least to me, since i never make underhand shots
@sexytemari well techinically he's tied for 3rd with steve nash but that's if you include his aba stats. if not then he's #2 with 90% from the FL rather then .893
NASTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
there are about 4 things wrong with your comment, probably more.
1. 9 of the top 10 FT shooters of all time shoot overhand. rick barry seems to be the exception.
2. i HAVE tried the shot. i can hit about 95 out of 100 free throws overhand. i can hit about 60 underhand- i realize i haven't mastered the technique, but i've practiced both equally.
3. if it works for some, it won't work for all. if it was truly the best way to shoot, why don't the best shooters shoot this way?
lol 0:31 who calls it national basketball association
4:25 is what you came for! :)
dude shaq can play any type of ball he wants hes shaq and one of the most dominating centers to ever play the game
wtf why should i shoo like a baby
press 4:50 to skip to the FT
let's see you shoot 90% of your free throws in the nba then....?
i know he was one of the free throw shooter but i dont really like hes way of shoting
Yeah the reality is simple....it's effective, but it looks stupid. I don't blame anybody losing their enthusiasm if most of the time, they're getting laughed at. Imagine if wearing the old school short shorts made you run faster. Most people would still feel ridiculous for wearing such outdated clothes, despite an advantage.
would you be willing to shoot in a "granny" style in front of thousands of fans and millions of viewers when you stand 7"1 300+pounds and youre known as the big arostotle? it really is an ego thing
dat aint look like he can shoot 90%
Go search bjm12 and subscribe to his videos for sick sports highlights and dunks
GET TO THE POINT!
i dont know why, but it seems my comment isn't registering. maybe you placed restrictions on commenting? quite nazi-esque.
but alas, i'll continue. find me 2 of the greatest 30 shooters of all time that have shot FT's underhand, and i will concede.
next time, don't make sweeping generalizations to protect your own viewpoints. some of the worst ft shooters of all time shot underhand as well.
no disrespect but I think this is stupid
