I use a five step approach and start about 8-9' back from the foul line. I'm 6'3" tall. My coach first got me to move up that far to get me to shorten my first step. He's a very logical sort of guy: "Shorten the first step or foul, your choice!" I used to end up about two feet short of the foul line. Now I'm within about 3".
