Abstract: A basketball shooting aid device including an elongated tape member having a loop at one end adapted to fit over the thumb, or a finger adjacent the thumb, and being long enough to wrap around the thumb and the wrist of the weak or non-shooting hand of a basketball player, and fastener devices for securing the free end of the tape member about the wrist of the weak hand when the loop member secures the thumb in a restrained position relative to the fingers on the weak hand.

Abstract: A shooting guide for a basketball player including a body harness for fitting about the torso of the player, an elongated transverse support member fixed to the back of the body harness, and an L-shaped arm guide member including a forward projecting arm guide element or rod disposed on the outside of the player's arm, and an integral support rod received within the support member for longitudinal and rotary movement, to permit lateral and vertical adjustment of the arm guide element. The arm guide member is adapted to be supported so that its forwardly extending arm guide element may be located outside either of the player's arms, to accommodate a right-handed or left-handed basketball shooter.
