Basketball Equipment Reviews

By Phil Jones

When training for basketball, making the most of when you train is important. There are supplies and equipment you can use to maximize your practices. Here are the top three basketball training supplies.

1. THE GUN: The Gun is priced at $4,500 dollars, but do not let that scare you. It is well worth the money you will spend on it. On top of that, it is not an individual person who would buy. You would buy it as a basketball program so that many people could use this amazing piece of equipment. What it does is catch every ball you shoot in a net, and then shoot the ball back out at you. It can also count the amount of shots you take and your percentage which is nice to know how much you are getting better.

This piece of equipment really helped me out as an individual. I was on JV one year with really only one aspect to my game and that was my drive. I used the gun the next summer and was on Varsity the next year with one of the best shots in conference. Opposing coaches were yelling, "Guard the shooter." They were talking about me. It made me so much better because I was able to get off a couple hundred shots in half an hour. It helped out with my game and there is nothing else that does what the gun does, so you should work to get one.

2. Jump Shoes: These will bring you to a new level athletically. Basketball is athleticism plus talent. With these shoes you will not only be able to jump higher, but you will be able to jump higher faster. You do not want to be that person who takes the longest time to be able to jump high. You want to be able to jump high right away and that is what these shoes will do for you. They will train you to be a fast person.

3. Tennis ball: This one might sound funny to you, but you will need one. This tennis ball will bring your dribbling to the next level. When ever you are doing dribbling drills. Have the tennis ball in the other hand. Throw the ball up and catch it. If you are doing a cross-over. You will throw the ball up, and then catch it with the other hand. This will force you to not only look up, but to be doing something else while dribbling. This is because while you dribble you need not only to be able to see the court, you have to be able to be thinking about what is going on on the court.

Lastly, you will need a gym to go to and many basketballs to wear down to train properly.
