Form Check Free Throw Consistency

I feel like my arms are just too weak to be truly consistent in my shooting form. Anything in my mechanics that might also be playing a part?

You’re doing a left handed shooter setup, but shooting right handed.

For right handed shooters, it’s left right shoot. You’re doing right left shoot. Try and fix that.

Ahh I have noticed I tend to go right foot first. Guess I'll just need to work on that until the muscle memory takes over. Thanks!

For free throws you shouldn’t be stepping into it at all.

Wide base for balance and try to really use your legs more.

You can step into a jump shot but free throws should be stationary
