ABSTRACT:
Device for improving the accuracy of shooting a basketball, comprising an annular member shaped to define the desirable path of the shot basketball, a ball striking flap disposed within the annular member, and electronic indicators in communication with the ball striking flap to indicate that a ball, although passing through the device, was shot with a less than ideal trajectory path. In a second embodiment, the device also comprises a user guideline, foot placement pads, means for increasing the visibility of the top annular surface and securing straps for securing the annular member to the standard rim of the basketball goal.
