ABSTRACT:
A basketball shot training device is described for improving the shooting skills of the user including an elongated member adapted to be strapped to the user's forearm and a hemispherical finger and hand engagement element configured as a portion of a basketball facing the elongate member so as to be engagable with the user's fingers and hand. A resistance member pivotally mounts the hemispherical engagement element to resist movement from a retracted position to an extended position by flexing the hand, fingers and wrist against the resistance in a manner closely simulating the execution of a basketball shot. As the resistance member is being actuated, the hemispherical engagement element is also partially rotated against a resistive force so as to more accurately simulate a basketball shot.
