A. The biggest asset of the Flex-Shot is the fact that it will not allow you to exercise with a crooked or angled wrist.  It forces you to flex with a vertical forearm and wrist.  This repetitious exercise creates a mind to muscle relationship that helps to eliminate bad habits.  It also strengthens the correct muscles so they dominate in tense situations.

Q. Will the Flex-Shot reduce training time?

A. Not necessarily, you still need to practice shooting on a real basket.  Many other factors affect good shooting including conditioning, shooting mechanics, and interpreting basket distance. The Flex-Shot only strengthens your wrist and hand coordination.  You should however, see an improvement in form, shooting control and ball control.

Q. Where else can I purchase it?

A. A growing list of affiliates mostly in the Metro Detroit area carry the product. Otherwise you can take advantage of the convenient mail order door delivery.

A. Some Therapists are considering using the Flex-Shot Trainer as a rehabilitation tool for Carpel-Tunnel Syndrome patients.  The open handed full flexion motion helps to restore flexibility in wrists.  Tendonitis can be developed from excessive use without proper conditioning.  The included instructions fully explain guidelines for problem free usage. 

Q. Can I use it on either hand?

A. Yes, the Flex-Shot is universally designed for either hand. It’s especially good for helping to develop the weaker shooting hand.

Q. How is this better than the products on the market now?

A. No other product on the market helps to correct your form quicker.  Some products may increase strength using closed hand grips, but they don’t teach form and a few can even distort form.  The Flex-Shot uses a unique open hand exercising technique that conditions the muscles in the very capacity that they are needed for shooting.

Q. Why does it cost so much?

A. $59.95 is actually a good value when you consider the years of product development costs.  The price of this model will eventually decrease, but by then your competition will have the edge.  A new and improved model is still in the design stage.  No introduction date is scheduled yet. Don't let the competition get the jump on you.  The next generation model will have a cost increase and may include a Pro endorsement.  Remember, basketball is one of the cheapest sports to play and produces some of the highest paid players.

A. Many of the recent purchasers are AAU players serious about getting better.  Junior High, High school and some college coaches use it to help develop talented players with bad form.  They are also seeing the benefits in players that have purchased the Flex-Shot.  Parents of players who want to see their kid become a complete player and take their game to the next level buy the most.  A list of references can be E-mailed to you upon request.  Contact_Us.
