What about underhanded free throws makes this hard to believe?
quote:the fact that you get greater control of the ball by shooting overhanded? it just seems that shooting overhanded for freethrows is better just like shooting overhanded is better for all other shots around the court
What about the obvious greater amount of backspin and more forgiving trajectory isn't obvious.

FTs are uncontested shots.
You don't get much opportunity to shoot underhanded against a live defense. And some layups are shot underhanded, for that matter.

Try shooting underhand with a guy playing defense against you and let me know how that works out for you
