Why It Works
Add Inches Without Changing Your Routine
Your vertical stalls the moment your body adapts, and most athletes have no easy way to keep adding challenge to the muscles that launch them. The Vertical Jump Trainer adds resistance right where you need it, so the workouts you already do keep producing new inches.
1Strap In, Waist to Heels
Attach the bands and keep your normal program. No new routine to learn.
2Train the Launch Muscles
Jump-specific resistance targets the muscles that drive takeoff on every rep.
3Break the Plateau
Add challenge to the drills and lifts you already do and keep your vertical climbing.
Coaching point: Use these on your existing jump drills and lower-body lifts. Keep explosive reps crisp and full-effort, and do not let the band turn a fast jump into a slow grind.

Vertical Jump Trainer FAQ
How do the vertical jump trainer bands fit into my training?
Wear the waist-to-heel bands during the jump drills and lifts you already do. They add resistance without changing your program, so your normal squats, jumps and lunges strengthen the muscles that launch you higher.
Who are these bands for?
Any athlete chasing a higher vertical on a budget, including basketball players and volleyball hitters. They are a simple, portable starter. If you want shoulders-to-heels coverage and a full progression plan, step up to the Vertical Blitz system.
Waist-to-heels or shoulders-to-heels: what is the difference?
These trainer bands load from the waist down, which is a clean, affordable way to add jump-specific resistance. The Vertical Blitz system runs from a shoulder sleeve to the ankles, so it also challenges the arm swing and upper body through three progressive levels.
Are the bands portable?
Yes. They pack down small and train anywhere, so you can use them at home, at the gym or on the court.
How fast does it ship?
Most orders ship quickly with tracking emailed to you.

Weighted Basketball
The Weighted Basketball That Builds Stronger Passes, Harder Dribbles, and Tougher Rebounders
A weighted basketball is a training ball that weighs about twice a regulation ball, so every pass, dribble, and rebound takes real force. Run your normal drills with it, switch back to a regular ball, and the game ball feels light and easy. The HoopsKing HeavyTrainer comes in a men's 29.5 inch 3 lb ball and a women's and youth 28.5 inch 2.75 lb ball, in durable rubber or premium indoor composite leather, from $39.99.
Choose Size and Material
Rubber plays anywhere and costs less. Composite leather has the soft, tacky feel of a game ball for indoor training.
Why it works
Train with resistance, switch back to a normal ball, and everything feels lighter and quicker. It is the simplest way to add strength work to the drills your team already runs.
About twice the weight of a regulation ball
Builds passing power, a tighter handle, and stronger rebounding
Fits the passing, dribbling, and rebounding drills you already run
Men's 29.5 inch and women's or youth 28.5 inch sizes
Rubber for indoor and outdoor, or composite leather for a premium indoor feel
No extra equipment and no wasted practice time
How Does a Weighted Basketball Sharpen Your Passing?
The most common passing problem is weak, loopy passes that get picked off. Reminders alone rarely fix it. A weighted basketball does, fast. Players have to snap the ball with real power to complete the same passes at game spacing. After a few reps with the heavy ball, the regulation ball feels light and passes come out with more zip and accuracy.
Coaching point: keep players at true game spacing during weighted passing drills, so the added force carries straight over to live play.
How Do You Build Stronger Ball Handling?
Listen to elite ball handlers and you hear how hard the ball hits the floor. A harder dribble returns to the hand faster, which means more control and quicker moves. Dribbling a weighted basketball forces players to pound the ball to keep control, building wrist, hand, and finger strength. Back on a regular ball, their handle is tighter and quicker.
Coaching point: for the fastest gains, use two weighted balls for two-ball dribbling. It doubles the strength work per rep.
From our athletes
See a Trainer Put It to Work
@coreysilverstrom on TikTok
How Does It Build Tougher Rebounders?
Rebounding is aggression plus control. The heavier ball makes players squeeze harder and fight to secure it, building the hand and forearm strength that turns tips into caught rebounds. After weighted reps, grabbing and protecting a regulation ball feels effortless, and your team starts winning the boards.
Coaching point: finish every weighted rebound with a strong chin it and pivot before the outlet, so control becomes a habit.
Rubber or composite
Which Weighted Basketball Is Right for Indoor Play?
Both balls are the same size and weight and build the same strength. The difference is the cover, and it comes down to where you train and the feel you want. On price, the rubber ball is $39.99 and the composite leather is $53.00, so the composite runs about $13 more for the game ball feel.

The rubber HeavyTrainer is tough and takes a beating on any surface, indoor hardwood or the outdoor blacktop. It is the budget friendly choice and the same men's and women's sizes. $39.99.
Coaching point: training mostly in the gym? Go composite leather for the game ball feel. Splitting time between the gym and outdoor courts? The rubber ball holds up anywhere.

Weighted Basketball FAQ
How heavy is a weighted basketball?The HeavyTrainer men's 29.5 inch ball weighs 3 lbs, about twice a regulation basketball (roughly 1.4 lbs). The women's and youth 28.5 inch ball weighs 2.75 lbs. Both come in rubber or composite leather.
Can you shoot with a weighted basketball?It is built for passing, ball handling, and rebounding, not full range game shooting. Light form shooting from 5 feet and in is fine to build wrist and finger strength, but do your regular shooting work with a regulation ball.
What is a weighted basketball used for?Adding resistance to normal drills. Train with the heavy ball, then switch to a regular ball and players pass, dribble, and rebound with noticeably more strength and speed.
Is a composite leather weighted basketball good for indoor training?Yes. The composite leather HeavyTrainer is our indoor weighted basketball. It has the soft, tacky feel of a premium indoor game ball, so it is the top pick for gym practice. The rubber version handles both indoor and outdoor courts and is the more budget friendly option.
What is the difference between the rubber and composite leather ball?Same sizes and weights, different cover. Rubber is durable and works indoor and outdoor for $39.99. Composite leather has a premium indoor feel that is closest to a game ball for $53.00. Both build the same strength.
How is a weighted basketball different from a regular basketball?Same size and feel, about double the weight. That extra load is what forces the strength and control gains.
Which size weighted basketball should I get?Men's 29.5 inch 3 lb for high school and up. Women's and youth 28.5 inch 2.75 lb for female players and younger athletes.
How do I train with a weighted basketball?Use it in your standard passing, dribbling, and rebounding drills, then switch back to a regulation ball so players feel the difference in live play.

Why Players Disappear in Big GamesSkills Built Without Contact Break Under It
The player who looks unstoppable in an empty gym can vanish the moment bodies start hitting. Clean reps don’t prepare anyone for the bump at the rim, the forearm in the post, or the crowd at the glass.
Real games are physical. If contact only shows up on game night, that’s the first time your players are learning to play through it — and it’s too late.
What It BuildsContact In Every Drill
Finishing — keep focus and control through contact at the rim
Dribbling — protect the ball under real defensive pressure
Shooting — adjust over taller defenders and lift the shot arc
Rebounding — build the strength and balance to secure the board
Post play — hold position and finish through bodies with confidence

Skill Matters. But Athleticism Changes How the Game Feels.
A player can have solid skills and still struggle when the game gets faster, more physical, and more crowded. Stronger legs, better balance, more body control, and a quicker first step can make every skill feel easier to use.
Parents Notice When Their Player Looks a Step Slow
Maybe your player works hard, but still gets bumped off cuts, loses position on rebounds, or struggles to explode past a defender. P.R.O. Bands help make simple training more demanding so the body has to work with more intent.
Players Need Reps That Feel Different
Ordinary workouts can become too easy. Add resistance, and basic movements suddenly require more focus, stronger posture, better balance, and more effort through the entire rep.
Coaches Need Tools That Do Not Waste Practice Time
P.R.O. Bands are easy to bring out for stations, warmups, strength blocks, flexibility work, and athletic development without building an entire practice around one piece of equipment.
Why Players Train With Resistance
Make Strength, Quickness, and Explosive Movement Part of the Routine
These bands are built for basketball players who need more than casual reps. They help turn short workouts into focused, resisted training blocks.
01
Resisted First-Step Work
Add resistance to drive moves and change-of-direction work so players have to stay lower, lean into the move, and push harder through the floor.
02
Lower-Body Strength Training
Use P.R.O. Bands for squats, lunges, resisted jumps, and bodyweight strength sessions when a full weight room is not available.
03
Upper-Body and Core Work
Add resistance to push-ups, shoulder presses, thrusters, rows, and movement patterns that help players build stronger, more controlled bodies.
04
Flexible Training Anywhere
Keep bands in a gym bag, backpack, garage, training facility, or practice basket so serious reps are never limited to one location.
Choose Your Resistance
Pick the Band That Matches the Player and the Drill

Basketball-Specific Training Ideas
Use It for the Athletic Movements Players Actually Need
P.R.O. Bands can fit into short home workouts, team stations, trainer sessions, warmups, and strength blocks without overcomplicating the workout.
Explosive Drive Work
Use around-the-waist resistance to help players practice attacking lower, pushing harder, and staying balanced through the first step.
Squats and Lunges
Add band tension to lower-body strength work so players can train legs, hips, posture, and control without needing machines.
Strength Circuits
Build simple circuits with push-ups, presses, rows, thrusters, and core work to keep players training with structure and purpose.
Who It Helps
Built for Players Who Need Better Reps Between Games
Parents cannot control the rotation. Coaches cannot personally develop every athlete every day. But better tools can help players train with more purpose when nobody is forcing them to.
For Parents Helping Their Player Get More Serious
P.R.O. Bands are easy to keep at home, in the garage, in a gym bag, or near the driveway. They give your player a simple way to train strength, quickness, mobility, and body control without needing a trainer every session.
Great for players who need to get stronger without waiting for the weight room.
Useful for short workouts before practice, after school, or on off days.
Helps parents support training without needing to design a complicated program.
For Coaches, Trainers, Camps, and Team Workouts

Use different resistance levels for youth, middle school, high school, and older athletes.
Keep training organized for camps, clinics, and small-group workouts.
Why This Beats Random Workouts
Give Players a Tool That Makes Training Feel More Serious
The goal is not just doing more exercises. The goal is doing better reps with enough resistance to force focus, posture, balance, and effort.
Ordinary Unstructured Workouts
Players often go through movements without enough challenge.
Workouts can become repetitive, casual, and easy to skip.
Home training can feel disconnected from basketball movement.
Strength work may be limited if there is no weight room access.
P.R.O. Bands Training
Adds resistance to basketball movement, strength work, and flexibility sessions.
Gives players a simple tool they can use almost anywhere.
Creates more focused reps in short workouts and team stations.
Offers multiple resistance levels so players can progress over time.

Questions Before You Buy
Choosing the Right Basketball Resistance Band
Use these answers to decide which P.R.O. Band makes the most sense for your player, team, or training setup.
Which P.R.O. Band should a youth player start with?
The Small Black band is usually the best starting point for elementary to junior high athletes, lighter strength work, push-ups, shoulder presses, and stretching.
Which band is best for high school basketball players?
Many high school players can use the Medium Purple band for all-around training. Stronger athletes may prefer the Large Green band for lower-body strength and resisted movement.
Can these bands help with vertical jump training?
They can be used as part of a vertical jump training routine for squats, resisted jumps, lunges, and lower-body strength work. Results depend on consistency, effort, technique, and the full training plan.
Can players use P.R.O. Bands at home?
Yes. Players can use them at home, in a garage, driveway, gym, or on the court for short workouts, strength circuits, stretching, and basketball-specific resistance drills.
Are these useful for coaches and teams?
Yes. Coaches can use them for warmups, strength stations, athletic development blocks, resisted drive work, flexibility sessions, and team training circuits.
Do players need weights to use them?
No. P.R.O. Bands can be used with bodyweight exercises. Stronger athletes may also use bands with certain weight-room movements when supervised and trained properly.
Can one player use more than one resistance level?
Yes. A player may use a lighter band for upper-body work or stretching and a heavier band for squats, lower-body strength, or resisted movement.
What makes these basketball training bands different from random gym bands?
P.R.O. Bands are positioned for basketball training uses like resisted drives, explosive movement, jump work, strength circuits, and on-court athletic development.
Help Your Player Train Like Athleticism Actually Matters
The players who separate usually do more than shoot around. They build strength, body control, quickness, and confidence through better reps. Add P.R.O. Bands to your training setup and make ordinary workouts feel more serious.

Weighted Basketball Dribbling Gloves
Hoop Handz are weighted basketball dribbling gloves — you wear them while you dribble and ball-handle so every rep works your hands, wrists and forearms harder. The patented weighting sits around the hand's flex points, so when you take the dribbling gloves off, your handle feels lighter, faster and more controlled. They are a training glove worn during workouts, not a game glove.
Why It MattersA Loose Handle Is a Strength Problem
Players get stripped, lose the ball under pressure, and dribble without power because their hands, wrists and forearms aren’t strong enough — not because they need more drills.
Hoop Handz add resistance exactly where it matters, so your normal workout doubles as strength training for a faster, more powerful handle.

How do weighted gloves improve hand speed? They overload your hands during training; when you take them off, your hands move faster and the ball feels lighter.
How long until I see results? Many players notice quicker, more confident hands within about two weeks of regular training.
How should I train with weighted gloves? Wear them during stationary and moving dribble drills, then remove them and repeat the same drills.
Are weighted gloves good for youth players? Yes — they suit players of all ages; start with shorter sessions.
Do weighted training gloves actually work? Yes — the overload principle is a proven way to build hand speed and grip strength.

The Basketball that Busts Shooting Slumps and Improves Arc—Now in Your Choice of Rubber or Composite Leather!
Is your child struggling with confidence when shooting the basketball? Do you have players in a shooting slump? Or do you have a player who could be a really good shooter if they had more arc on their shot, but instead shoot with the trajectory of a heat-seeking missile?
If any of these challenges sound familiar, then you're missing shots that could be made shots—whether it's a mental issue or an arc problem, the HoopsKing Big Shot can help. It corrects low arc and helps players break out of shooting slumps quickly and effectively.
Choose Your Perfect Fit: Rubber or Composite Leather
The Big Shot now comes in two premium options to fit your training needs:
Rubber Version: Ideal for outdoor and indoor training, offering incredible durability, better grip on outdoor courts, and a slightly textured surface to enhance control. Perfect for players who want to practice hard, whether on the driveway, gym, or blacktop.
Composite Leather Version: Designed for serious indoor training, providing a softer, game-like feel, superior grip, and a pro-style touch that mimics regulation basketballs. This option is great for those looking to transition seamlessly from practice to game day.
Whichever option you choose, the Big Shot maintains its 33” oversized design and nearly identical weight to a regulation 29.5” basketball, ensuring a challenging and effective training experience.
How to Improve Shooting Arc with the Big Shot
Many players don't even realize they shoot with a low arc, leading to missed shots. When warming up with the Big Shot, they'll quickly feel the need to shoot with a higher arc—because with this oversized ball, a low trajectory just won’t cut it.
Switch back to your regular ball after warming up, and instantly see an improvement in arc! With consistent use, muscle memory takes over, transforming weak, low-trajectory shots into perfect, high-arcing jumpers.
How to Get Out of a Shooting Slump with the Big Shot
Slumps can take a toll on a player’s confidence. With the Big Shot, players start making close-range shots, building confidence and muscle memory.
The real magic happens when they return to their regular ball—it feels smaller, lighter, and easier to control, instantly boosting confidence. Try fun challenges like shooting 10 shots with the Big Shot followed by 10 with a regular ball and watch the improvement!
Big Shot 33" Oversized Basketball for Skill Training
The Big Shot isn’t just for shooting—it's a complete training tool for:
Rebounding: Develops strong hands and better ball control.
Passing: Forces players to improve accuracy and control.
Dribbling: Enhances coordination, control, and confidence.
Players will love the feeling of mastery when they switch back to a standard ball—suddenly, every skill feels easier and more controlled.
Why the Big Shot Beats a Rim Reducer
Unlike rim reducers that require setup and can be a hassle, the Big Shot requires no installation—just pick it up and start training. Plus, you'll get more rebounding opportunities because of the increased difficulty of making shots with the oversized ball.
Exclusive Bonus: Online Training Video Access
To help you get the most out of your Big Shot, you'll receive online access to our comprehensive Big Shot Training Video, packed with drills and expert tips to enhance your shooting and overall skills. Once you place your order, check your email for instant access to this game-changing resource.
Make Big Shots. Be a Big Shot.
No matter which version you choose—Rubber for durability or Composite Leather for pro-level feel—the Big Shot is your key to better shooting, increased confidence, and all-around basketball improvement.

How It WorksAdjustable Finger Weights
Slim, curved weight pods sit on the back of the fingers and hand — hinged to move with you, never against you. Add or remove up to four weights to dial the load to your level.
Form-fit & flexible. The finger weights are curved and hinged, so your hands open, close and grip naturally with the weight on.
Scalable load. Pull out up to four weights to match your sport and strength — lighter for skill work, heavier for strength.
Train, then dominate. Build grip, finger and forearm strength in practice; take them off and feel lighter, quicker hands in the game.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are weighted gloves?
Weighted gloves are training gloves with added resistance that you wear during workouts to build hand speed, grip strength and quickness. The S.W.A.G. Adjustable Weighted Gloves use removable finger weights, so you can add load as your hands get stronger.
Do weighted gloves actually work?
Yes. Weighted gloves add resistance to every hand and arm movement, so your muscles work harder through each rep. Take them off and your hands feel lighter and faster. Train with them for basketball ball-handling, boxing, baseball and general fitness.
How much do the S.W.A.G. weighted gloves weigh?
Each glove holds adjustable finger weights you can add or remove to change the resistance. Start light to keep your mechanics clean, then add weight as your hands and forearms get stronger.
Who should use weighted gloves?
Weighted gloves suit anyone training for faster, stronger hands: basketball players, boxers, baseball and softball players, and general fitness. The S.W.A.G. gloves come in sizes for men and women.

Why Train a Whole Team on Weighted Basketballs?
When players train with resistance and switch back to a normal ball, everything feels lighter and quicker. The problem for coaches is doing it as a team, a couple of balls means players stand around and wait. With 15 balls, the whole group trains at once, so your passing, dribbling, and rebounding drills run full speed and every player gets the reps.
Coaching point: keep players at true game spacing during weighted drills, then switch the team to regulation balls so they feel the difference in live play.
What Does It Build?
Players have to snap the ball with real power to complete the same passes at game spacing, so passes come out with more zip and accuracy. Dribbling the heavier ball forces them to pound it to keep control, building wrist, hand, and finger strength for a tighter, quicker handle. On the glass, squeezing and securing the heavy ball builds the hand and forearm strength that wins rebounds.
Coaching point: grab a second pack or run pairs so players can do two-ball passing and dribbling. It doubles the strength work per rep.

Which Team Pack Is Right for Your Program?
Both packs are the same 15 balls and build the same strength. The difference is the cover. On price, the rubber pack is $299.99 and the composite leather pack is $449.99, so composite runs about $150 more for the game ball feel across all 15.
Composite Leather, the Indoor Pack
Our composite leather balls have the soft, tacky feel of a premium indoor game ball, so gym drills translate straight to game day on a wood floor. Men's 29.5 inch 3 lb and women's 28.5 inch 2.75 lb. $449.99 for 15.
Rubber, Indoor and Outdoor
The rubber balls are tough and take a beating on any surface, indoor hardwood or the outdoor blacktop. The budget friendly choice in the same sizes. $299.99 for 15.

Weighted Basketball Team Pack FAQ
How many basketballs come in the team pack?Fifteen weighted basketballs, so your whole roster can train at the same time with no sharing and no standing around.
What size and material do I choose?Each pack is one size and one material: men's 29.5 inch 3 lb or women's 28.5 inch 2.75 lb, in rubber for $299.99 or composite leather for $449.99.
Can I mix sizes or materials in one pack?Each 15 ball pack is a single size and material. For a mixed roster, order the packs you need, or add singles of the HeavyTrainer weighted basketball for the odd sizes.
Is the team pack cheaper than buying 15 singles?Yes. The 15 ball pack is priced below 15 individual balls, so it is the budget way to equip a full team or program.
Is the composite leather pack better for indoor training?Yes. The composite leather pack is the indoor pick, with the soft, tacky feel of a game ball on a wood floor. The rubber pack handles indoor and outdoor courts and costs less.
How does a team train with weighted basketballs?Run your normal passing, dribbling, and rebounding drills with the whole group on the weighted balls, then switch to regulation balls so players feel lighter, quicker, and stronger.
