A basketball-specific resistance training system designed to build strength, speed, explosiveness, and on-court control
There’s a difference between getting stronger — and getting better at basketball.
Most weight room programs build general strength.
Most skill sessions build touch and feel.
BetterBall® PRO bridges the gap.
It’s a portable resistance training system designed specifically for basketball players — helping athletes build game-transferable strength while moving like they actually do on the court.
BetterBall is a resistance-based basketball training system that integrates directly with a men’s size 7 basketball.
It weighs 3 lbs (a standard basketball weighs about 1.4 lbs), creating controlled resistance during real basketball-specific movement patterns.
Instead of isolated gym lifts, you’re training:
This is strength training in motion.
Basketball isn’t linear. It’s reactive, rotational, explosive, and chaotic.
BetterBall was designed by sports scientists and elite trainers to improve:
Build durability to withstand contact and physical play.
Improve transition quickness and defensive rotations.
Increase acceleration, vertical power, and finishing ability.
Better ball control, rebounding, passing, and steals.
More stable landings. Cleaner force transfer. Lower injury risk.
NBA Skills Coach Drew Hanlen puts it best:
“Betterball is a highly effective training system that helps basketball players incorporate authentic, game-like movement patterns into their performance training. By bridging the gap between skill work and physical preparation, Betterball supports more efficient movement, better body control, and improved transfer to on-court performance.”
That transfer piece is everything.
We’re entering an era where athletes don’t just train hard — they train specific.
Instead of separating:
The best systems combine them.
BetterBall fits squarely into that new category of hybrid skill-strength tools — where performance gains don’t stay in the gym, they show up in games.
If you’re a hooper looking to:
BetterBall is a smart addition to the stack.
It’s not a gimmick. It’s resistance training that actually looks like basketball. And that’s the point.
