Much of the process of shooting a free throw is personal and not universal. Every player has a different routine. Glibert Arenas spins the ball around his back twice before he shoots. But here are the must-do techniques:

It's all in the legs: the more tired you are the more you should bend your legs

Follow through with your shot: flick the wrist tightly and hold it likewise at the top of your finish

The order of the rising up before release should be legs, arms, and then wrist.

Once again, hold your form until the ball has (hopefully) gone through the net.

If you look up videos of J.J. Reddicks shot form you will learn a lot.

Lower body muscles in free throw shot?

Lower body muscles are important in the free throw shot. Essentially, a perfect free throw shot is dependent on the timing of the shot. The lower body muscles should be used to generate a good deal of the power; this power can be harnessed to its fullest at the perfect timing.The lower body muscles also provide stability during the shot. If you do not bend your knees when you shoot the ball, the ball moves more erratically.
