Study uses motion capture to determine what makes the best free-throw shooters

A study used innovative markerless motion capture technology to study the biomechanics of proficient free-throw shooters.

Researchers also studied the difference between missed and made shots by better shooters and found overemphasizing release point height could be counterproductive. The results can help coaches and players maximize performance.
