  • Patent number: 7442133
    Abstract: A shooting and training aid for basketball players to prevent interference of the non-shooting hand when shooting a basketball. This interference is caused by the non-shooting hand unnecessarily providing force for the shot as well as the fingers on the non-shooting hand dragging on the side of the ball. The shooting and training aid is provided with several adjustable members which ultimately would wind around the arms of the non-shooting hand, include a loop attached to the base of the thumb of the non-shooting hand as well as a pocket member into which at least the tip of the middle finger of the non-shooting hand is inserted.

  • Patent number: 4919425
    Abstract: A training and shooting aid for basketball players to eliminate and prevent interference by the guide arm and guide hand when shooting a basketball. The training and shooting aid includes a pair of adjustable interconnected stretchable sleeves adapted to encircle a player's guide arm. One of the sleeves is intended to be snugly secured around the player's arm slightly above the elbow, while the other of the sleeves is intended to be snugly secured around the player's arm slightly below the elbow. A non-stretchable separable strap member has a free end adapted to be associated with one of the band members. The opposite end of the strap member is provided with a loop for placing around the thumb of the player's guide hand. Once the loop has been placed around the player's thumb, the strap member is adapted to be tightened, whereby the guide hand and thumb are pulled toward the elbow.
