Imagine if you could practice against Kevin Durant every day for a summer. How much better would you get? If you were a high schooler and worked on your offensive moves every day vs. Durant and then went back to your normal level of competition how easy would it be for you to dominate?  Practicing against someone so big and long would make your normal level easy.

Introducing the Defender Extender training pads. The Defender Extender training pads allow a coach, trainer, or partner to simulate a much taller player than you would normally play against. As you move up levels in basketball, from junior high to high school, high school to college, college to the pros, your competition will get taller, longer, and more athletic. The Defender Extender training pads can simulate all 3 of these even though you don’t have Kevin Durant to practice against!

With the Defender Extender training pads you will have to work that much harder to get your shot off, dribble the ball down the floor, drive to the basket, finish at the rim, make a pass, and more!

The Defender Extender training pads are truly must have basketball training equipment for any team or individual serious about developing and becoming the best player they can be.

Here are some great uses of the Defender Extender training pads:

• Dribbling – Have a partner use the Defender Extender training pads while you bring the ball down the floor. Your defender quickly has the wingspan and reach of an NBA guard. You will really learn to protect the basketball and utilize changing speeds & direction efficiently to overcome the increased reach and quickness of the defender.
• Offense Moves – Whether in the post or driving to the basket, playing against a taller, longer, and more athletic player will require you to outsmart the defense to beat them. Once you become inferior athletically, you must become superior mentally if you are going to compete at that level.
• The Defender Extender training pads are perfect for any age. Just adjust your hands on the sticks to change your wingspan. They are made of very soft material and it does not hurt to get hit with them so they are also good for contact drills.
