Abstract:
A basketball shooting training device is provided for training a player to use the proper upper torso alignment and relative leg position when shooting a basketball by maintaining the shooters back and head, from buttocks to the top of the head in vertical alignment, at a 90° angle with respect to the floor. Also, the invention forces the use of the legs in the set shot for developing novice players skills. The support rod removably attaches around the forehead via an elastic, adjustable forehead strap attached to an upper end of the rod. The rod continues down the neck and spine, and concludes at the buttocks region. A feet immobilizing apparatus is attached at a lower end of the support rod so as to maintain a players feet in proper position during consecutive basketball shots.
