Abstract: Basketball training apparatus uses a first vertical support member having a lower end adapted to rest on a supporting surface. An elongated guide rod extends in longitudinal direction. An adjustable wrist support is adapted for manual engagement and disengagement of a wrist of a user. A second elongated member is secured rotatably at one end to one end of the rod and extends at right angles thereto. The other end of the second member is secured to the wrist support. A device is secured to the upper end of the member and is manually pivotable about a horizontal axis disposed at right angles to the longitudinal direction, the device providing a guide channel through which the rod extends.
