The J Glove Basketball Shooting Aid

Posted on May 7, 2010 at 2:24 PM Comments comments (0)

The J-Glove Shooting Aid is the only shooting aid on the market designed to teach a user how to correctly grip, set up, and release a basketball. While there are different shooting aids available, many are limited to one area -keeping the ball off your palm region. However, there is not a single shooting aid on the market that can reap all those same benefits while primarily focusing on the most important aspect of consistent shooters......an open-hand, square wrist follow through!

 


Even though it has only been released this past year, the J-Glove is currently being used by multiple top NCAA teams, as well as a multiple NBA, WNBA, Overseas Professionals, and D-League trainers/players. Such teams include the San Antonio Spurs, Miami Heat, Memphis, Stanford, UCLA, LSU, Louisville, Boston College, Miami, South Florida, St. Mary’s, RICE, VCU, Reno Bighorns(D-League), and many more.......

 

 


For most amateur shooters, the primary reason for inconsistent shooting is improper side-to-side wrist mechanics during a player’s follow through. If a player prematurely flexes his/her index finger during follow through (most common), then their wrist will finish toward the outside. If a player prematurely flexes their ring finger, then their wrist will finish towards the inside. Regardless, in both scenarios their wrist will not be finishing in a square, frontal plane.

Because of its unique, stiff, finger splint design, the J-Glove prevents finger flexion at the base of the finger joints (MCP Joint), thus preventing a player’s wrist from finishing to one’s side during follow through. Furthermore, the splint design allows complete freedom at the top digit (DIP Joint) so a player can still naturally grip and feel the basketball. Ultimately, this innovative design enables perfect forward hinging motion at the wrist joint, resulting in improved mastery of your shooting mechanics in a matter of weeks.

 

 


In addition, the glove design develops proper finger separation within your "finger fork", and ensures maximum extension at the wrist joint to create a proper "trigger position.” Because of the finger splint design, if the ball is resting on a player's palm, the player's index finger will not be in contact with the ball, thus reinforcing proper shot set up with every repetition. There is not another shooting aid on the market that can promote these same benefits.

 

 


The J-Glove is all about constructing or re-constructing perfect bio-mechanical shooting mechanics during your shot release and follow through. Lessons at camps, and clinics often leave players confused and discouraged; resulting in old shooting habits quickly reverting back. Utilizing the J- Glove and "Millennium Shooting DVD" repetitively will re-construct your shooting mechanics in a short period of time, while providing you with success and confidence to be a long-term successful shooter. Not bad for a little under $20.
