A focused seven-step guide to free-throw shooting

Tom Amberry centers this basketball manual on one specific, often decisive skill: shooting from the foul line. Drawing on his 1993 record streak of 2,750 consecutive free throws, he lays out a seven-step approach that joins shot mechanics with the mental habits used to maintain concentration under pressure. The book addresses technique, consistency, and the role of a repeatable routine, presenting practice-oriented principles aimed at improving accuracy at the line. Its narrow focus distinguishes it from broad basketball instruction: the emphasis remains on developing a dependable free throw rather than covering every part of the game.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Basketball players working specifically on free-throw accuracy
  • Coaches seeking drills and principles for foul-line instruction
  • Players interested in the mental side of shooting under pressure

Book overview

On November 15, 1993, a white-haired, 72-year-old gentleman named Dr. Amberry stepped up to the free throw line and into the Guinness Book of World Records by sinking 2,750 shots in a row. He ended his 12-hour streak without a miss, stopping only because they had to close the gym for the night.

In Free Throw, he reveals his secrets. Beginning with the proper mechanics of the shot, he then explains the importance of the mental game and shares his techniques to help players stay on target even while under pressure. Combining these mental and physical elements, he presents a unique and straightforward 7-step method that teaches readers how to become a 90% free throw shooter.

The free throw is the Achilles heel of the basketball player -- many players are great from the floor but lousy at the line. Free Throw is the only book to address this important skill. Clearly written, with principles that are easy to put into practice, it is an indispensable manual for all basketball players and coaches.
