Because of Missed Shots?
Here's an important message about precision basketball shooting
- How to master it if you're a player
- How to teach it if you're a coach
Dear Player or Coach,
If you would like to have a smooth, reliable jump shot and free throw stroke...
Or, if you are sick of watching your team put up brick-after-brick from the field and free throw line, then...
But don't just take my words for it, I want to show you proof.
Now, some of what I'm about to tell below you might seem like total B.S. You might even think I'm talkin' trash. So I want to show you this video right now so you know I'm for real and you'll pay attention to what I have to tell you the rest of the way.
Here. Take a look...
After Practicing With The Swish Method
Right Hand: 10 out of 10
Left Hand: 9 out of 10

Now, a little background...
Once a week, I practice my free throws by shooting at least 50 in a row, and sometimes 100. I'm now at over 90% with my right hand. This is from practicing my whole life and focusing my thinking on ways to become a better shooter and from doing various drills (like the ones you are going to see on the Swish 2 DVD).
But I wanted to prove how good a training system this is for any shooter, so I decided to test it with my left hand (my opposite hand).
After Only My Fifth Day Of Shooting!
Before now, I've only messed around with shooting left-handed. I've never shot more than 5 or 6 free throws at a time left-handed, and most of those times, I was playing H-O-R-S-E. What I'm trying to say is that I've never seriously practiced shooting left-handed free throws before this.
Here are the results for the first couple of weeks:
|
July 16th........................................16 / 50 = 32% July 23rd........................................24 / 50 = 48% July 30th........................................29 / 50 = 58% August 6th......................................71 / 100 = 71% |
As you can see, I was able to hit the 70% mark by the fifth week (actually, my fifth day of shooting - I only get to shoot one day per week). It's not as high as I want it to be, but I got there pretty quickly considering I only shoot free throws once a week.
It really felt weird the first few times I shot, even for the first couple of weeks. But the helpless feeling started to go away, and it's becoming more comfortable (as you just saw for yourself in that video).
Now, after watching the above video, you might be thinking, "yeah, but you don’t stand at the line and shoot ten free throws in a row in a real game," or, "in a real game, you will be a little tired when you take free throws because you’ve just been running up and down the court...it’s not like you can stand around and just focus on making free throws."
And you’d be right to think that, if that's the only way that someone practiced. But there is a reason that you should spend some time shooting a lot of free throws in a row (as long as you do them the right way).
It's like when you are developing any other skill - you have to do it a lot so you can get comfortable with it and eventually master the movements until it becomes second-nature to you.
Anyway, you can see from the second part of this video (where I made 9 out of 10 shots) that I'm developing a smooth, reliable free throw stroke with my "weak" left hand. Yes, I had some shots that looked like they weren't going to go in, but they were still good enough to get the soft "friendly roll". You'll see that in the DVD, too - how to get these good rolls so even bad shots will find their way into the basket.
As for my normal right-handed shooting, I'm now at 90.7%. Since I started keeping track of my shooting back on March 6, 2004, I've made 4944 out of 5450 free throws. During that time, the lowest score I've had was 82 out of 100.
And for the past several weeks, I've been able to hit a total of 853 out of 900 free throws (94.7%). It feels automatic for me to step up to the line and put in these shots. And I believe you can develop into this kind of free throw shooting machine if you practice the right way..
Just imagine what you could do if you practice with the Swish Method several days of the week. If I can improve my free throw shooting with my "other" hand after just five days of shooting, then you should be able to improve with your regular hand in no time.
So, the bottom line to all of this is...
So, if you are ready to step up to the Elite Shooter Status, or you want to put an end to your team's shooting woes, just click on one of the pictures in the coupon box below to get one of the Swish Packages.
You have nothing to lose, except more games if you can't put the ball in the hole more than the other team.
Good Luck and Best Swishes,

Order Links YES! Bill, I want to become a smooth, reliable, "crunch time" shooter. So I'm willing to invest in Tom Nordland's Swish System. I also understand that I can get my money back if I'm not satisfied.
