  • Patent number: 9061173
    Abstract: A basketball player training device including an adjustable waist belt; a harness including adjustable shoulder straps, each having a first D-ring disposed thereon; and a fingerless glove. A reinforcement member is disposed on a back side of the glove and an elastomeric securement band has a proximal end securely attached to the reinforcement member and a distal end to which a second D-ring is attached. Elastomeric resistance exercise bands are provided in a range of lengths directly correlated to resistance strengths that increases as the length decreases. A quick-release clip disposed on outer ends of each exercise band engages a respective first D-ring and second D-ring. Each exercise band is configured to provide a variable resistance to strengthen a basketball player's shooting arm and to develop muscle memory in the finger, arm, and shoulder muscles required to correctly execute basketball shots.
