In my post, I will be discussing what I believe are some of the worst basketball training products that are currently on the market. The first product is the unique sports dribble specs. This training aid restricts you from being able to look down at the ball when you dribbling and wants you to focus on looking up and keeping your eyes up. The only problem for me is that you still have the ability to look down, you just can't see a whole lot when you do. The concept is correct in that you need to keep your eyes up, but it does not force you to look up and you still have the ability to look down when you are dribbling. I myself prefer to hold up a number on my hand and they have to say that number while they are dribbling which forces their eyes to be looking up at all times. The other training aid I believe is worthless is the HoopsKing straight shooter training aid. This aid is designed for you to keep your elbow in and follow through straight. The problem with this is one end is tied to the opposite hip of your shooting hand and the other end is wrapped around your shooting arm on the bicep. When you go up for the shot, while it does keep your elbow tucked in, it forces you to push that arm straight out due to the tension rather than it going up. This will cause a very flat shot and will leave a lot of shots short. Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of great training aids out there that can help improve your game, but these are some I do not recommend purchasing in the future.
