Why Heavy Ball?
Why Train With a Heavy Basketball?
A heavier basketball adds resistance to common skills—dribbling, passing, and control drills. This develops stronger wrists, hands, and forearms, improving ball control and pass accuracy.
Benefits of Heavy Ball Training:
• Builds functional strength
• Improves dribble speed and control
• Increases pass power and accuracy
• Boosts hand-eye coordination
How to Use:
Keep training short and focused — 5–10 minutes, 2–3 times per week. Use it for dribbling and passing drills, not for full shooting practice.
When you switch back to a regulation ball, the game feels lighter and faster.
