Perfec'Shot
FAQ
Answers to the most common asks about our leading basketball form-shooting device.
LEARN MOREAs long-time basketball players and coaches, we understand how proper guide-hand mechanics drive proper shooting form. Perfec’Shot does this in a few ways. First, it encourages proper hand placement, a key first step. It then prevents your hand and forearm from rotating, common issues with shooters of all ages. It also keeps your elbow from flaring out in the classic “chicken wing” movement.
There are other products that help with some of these things, but nothing else offers the total package. And because Perfec’Shot’s patented design is customized for each individual player, it won’t fit uncomfortably or loosen over time like tension-based devices.
Real skill development begins between ages 6 and 8. So, we’ve built Perfec’Shot to be used by players that age and up. As with anything else, it’s important to instill good habits early. Excellent shooting form out of the gates means no correcting later plus that many more years of quality reps under their belts!
That said, we’ve also worked with players in high school and college committed to improving their overall shooting motion. Perfec’Shot was designed to make these players more valuable to their teams as well (and keep them on the floor longer as a result!).
Our product is fully customizable in both form and function. That’s part of what makes it so different—and so effective—compared to other basketball training aids.
When you’re ready to build your own Perfec’Shot, we’ll need the following details to tailor a device that’s 100% unique to you:
• Age
• Sex
• Height (feet and inches)
• Shooting hand (left or right)
• Circumference (inches) of your bicep, forearm, and thumb (guide-hand side)
• Color choice (up to 10) for each of the 5 3D-printed components
• Personalization (initials, jersey number, or some other combination)
From Steph to Zion, basketballers come in all shapes and sizes. So, Perfec’Shot’s light weight (3.2 oz on average) and tailored measurements are designed to fit virtually any player from 3’4” to 7’4”. We also know that growth spurts can happen any time, even as late as college. A custom-fit Perfec’Shot typically allows for growth in height of approximately 3–4”.
Of course, if you put in the work during that time, you won’t need to get a new one anyway!
Also known as additive manufacturing, 3D printing involves computer modeling to create three-dimensional objects. We build each Perfec’Shot using what’s called fused deposition modeling, which involves layering molten plastic in a specific pattern for each part. This technology has come a long way since its introduction decades ago. It was once used only for early-stage prototypes, but various industries now rely on it for dependable, high-performing products.
We use premium mechanical-design printers for highly-precise devices tailored to each shooter’s measurements. We’re able to run various physics simulations on every single part. For instance, stress tests allow us to uncover any weaker areas and show where we need to redesign. That way we can be sure your Perfec’Shot is up to our high standards before even printing the components. This has the added benefit of minimizing both cost and waste.
We use ultrasonic welding for long-term product integrity. This makes Perfec’Shot far more durable and precise than other basketball training aids attached by methods such as sewing. It also fully limits unnecessary movements of your guide hand and arm that interfere with the shot—in other words, what every guide-hand shooting device should do!
Your Perfec’Shot is constructed in-house by the same experts who developed the initial concept, first prototype, and final model. Every piece of the product, from the components to the user’s guide to the packaging, is 100% made in the USA.
So are we, which is why we can relate to your constant search for new or better ways to teach various aspects of the game. Perfec’Shot is an important supplement to our shooting instruction and can be to yours as well. It’s a versatile tool that integrates well into a number of shooting drills. After all, tools that can be used in live simulations help with muscle memory when those same in-game situations occur.
Our goal is to make proper guide-hand technique second nature for your team. We encourage our players to use it on their own since they spend far more time at home and on the playground than they do in practice. And believe us when we say we can tell who’s been using it and who hasn’t!
Right here! We use Shopify’s top-rated ecommerce platform to make sure your purchase is fast, easy, and secure. Start customizing the last shooting aid you’ll ever need today.
We’ve seen gimmicky devices come and go. If you’re serious about your game, you need others around you who take it just as seriously.
That includes product manufacturers. We take pride in our shooting aid, which is the result of untold hours of testing countless designs. We didn’t settle until we produced a hiqh-quality device that maximizes the effectiveness of your guide hand as part of proper shooting form.
While we stand by our product and don’t anticipate any issues, we’ll of course replace your Perfec’Shot if there’s a manufacturing defect in the material in the first 45 days. Your complete satisfaction is important to us. More importantly, we want you to shoot the lights out!
Absolutely. We offer much more than just the shooting tool itself. First of all, we include a detailed user's guide that shows how to wear and use your Perfec’Shot. Then we also give you an opportunity to engage with us long after your purchase. You can follow us in several ways:
• YouTube: Videos and instruction for various skills, not just shooting.
• Instagram: Post your progress, see how others are doing, and take part in our virtual challenges.
• Twitter: Keep up with product announcements and interesting basketball news.
• Newsletter: Subscribe for Perfec’shot updates and other useful information to improve your shooting form.
Remember, no form-shooting device—even one as effective as Perfec’Shot—is going to turn you into a sharpshooter on its own. What it will do is turn your reps into perfect reps, and the rest is up to you!
