The SKLZ Rapid Fire system is a ball return system with mounting brackets that help secure a net to any rectangular backboard up to 60in. …

The SKLZ Basketball Essentials Kit is a complete core basketball training system that comes with 3 components: lateral resistors, reaction belts, and hopz.

The lateral resistors help develop an explosive first step while increasing your side-to-side quickness for better driving, ball handling and on-ball defense. The reaction belts help increase the reaction speed and time for better man-to-man defense. This really helps you stay in front of the quickest ball handlers.

The ankle weights or “Hopz” rounds out the set and are designed to help you increase your vertical. The concept is similar to the Jumpsoles and this works extremely well with the Jump program as a complementary training aid.

Players and coaches, not only in basketball, but also in football, wrestling and tennis even, can benefit from this complete basketball training system because each of these sport requires players to ‘get low’ and use tremendous amounts of lower body strength and explosiveness. The system costs a hundred bucks on Amazon and has received strong/positive reviews from coaches, trainers and players.

The Shooting Bandit helps directly improves your form so you can shoot a higher percentage. The secret to the Bandit is repetition. It’s designed to control your range of motion in your shooting form. You slide the bandit on your arms and strap the Velcros at points that feel comfortable. It’s that simple!

The Bandit then helps your form by ensuring every shot you take you can only bend the shooting arm up to 90 degrees if you bend it any further you feel a pinch near your elbow. Players and coaches from all levels can use this shooting aid to help players get the proper shooting form which subsequently leads to more accurate shots boosting the player’s confidence.

The Shooting Bandit costs about $45, very easy to use, helps improve shooting form, and is ambidextrous so it can be used on both arms.

The shooting form doesn’t matter as much as the repetition does. If you can engrave in your muscle memory the exact form and release all the way till the follow-through, you will have a crisp, consistent shot every release. The best way to use it is to start near the rim and then slowly work your way out to the perimeter.

You can also supplement the shooting bandit with the 3-lb Spalding heavy ball.
