About Our Products

What is Perfec'Shot?

Perfec'Shot is a sports brand that helps basketball players shoot better. We offer two main products: the ONE shooting aid and the ALIGN basketball. The ONE shooting aid keeps the off-hand (or guide hand) in its supportive role to build proper shooting form. The ALIGN basketball has a special design to help players quickly center their shooting hand on the ball.

How does the ONE shooting aid work?

The ONE shooting aid is worn on the off-hand (or guide hand). It has components that fit on the finger, thumb, forearm, and upper arm, connected by a pivoting system. This system stops unwanted movements like thumb pushing or forearm twisting, ensuring the off-hand (or guide hand) holds the ball in the shooting hand during early shot phases, like shot fakes, without messing up the shot.

How does the ALIGN basketball work?

The ALIGN basketball has an orange, oval-shaped mark debossed on six of its eight panels. This mark helps players quickly place their shooting hand in the center of the ball, no matter how they catch it. It works for different hand alignment styles (middle finger, split-finger, or index finger) and comes in sizes 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 for all ages and hand sizes.

How do Perfec'Shot products benefit players?

ONE Shooting Aid: Stops two-handed shooting and thumb pushing, helping players build proper shooting form and muscle memory for accurate, consistent shots. Neoprene padding on the contoured surfaces of the finger, thumb, forearm, and part of the upper arm components ensures comfort and prevents slippage during long practices.

ALIGN Basketball: Makes it easy to center the shooting hand on the ball for better alignment with the basket. It’s available in smaller sizes (like 3 and 4) for younger players, making shooting, passing, and dribbling easier.

When should players use Perfec'Shot products?

Use the ONE shooting aid during every shooting practice, including both static drills (like form shooting) and dynamic drills (like coming off a screen, catching a pass, or dribbling to your strong side and pulling up for a shot). Unlike other shooting aids, the ONE allows catching passes and dribbling to your strong side (e.g., right if you’re a right-handed shooter), ensuring consistent form in realistic drills.

Once comfortable, players can test their form without the aid for short periods. If form slips, use the ONE more to build muscle memory. The ALIGN basketball can be used in practice or games to keep the shooting hand centered.

How often should players use Perfec'Shot products?

For best results, use the ONE shooting aid daily during shooting drills. The ALIGN basketball can be used anytime you practice or play to keep your shooting hand aligned properly.

Can the ONE shooting aid be used in game situations?

No, the ONE shooting aid cannot be used in games due to basketball regulations and safety concerns, like the risk of injury if a player falls.

It’s designed for practice, including static drills (like form shooting) and dynamic drills with no defense (like catching a pass after a screen or dribbling to your strong side for a shot). These drills help build consistent form, and the ONE’s design allows catching and dribbling, unlike other shooting aids.

How do I know which finger to use with the ONE shooting aid?

The ONE shooting aid’s finger component can be worn on either the middle or ring finger, depending on comfort. Players with smaller hands may prefer the ring finger to avoid stretching the hand too much, while most players use the middle finger for a secure fit.

What additional tools come with Perfec'Shot products?

Every Perfec'Shot purchase includes:

Player Performance Tracker: A Google Sheet to track shots taken and made in five court areas (layups, close-range, free throws, mid-range, and 3-point shots). It calculates shooting percentages, shows trends, and provides graphs.

Player Performance Guide: A PDF with beginner, intermediate, and advanced drills for the five court areas to improve shooting skills.

Secrets of the Shot: Included with the ONE shooting aid, this guide details every step of proper shooting form, from foot placement to follow-through.We’re also working on an exciting all-in-one app that will make tracking progress and accessing drills even easier. Stay tuned for more details!

Manufacturing and Materials

How are Perfec'Shot products made?

ONE Shooting Aid: We use 3D printers with high-quality PETG filament to create durable components (finger, thumb, forearm, and upper arm) with precision. Neoprene padding, cut with custom dies and a press for precise shapes, is applied to the contoured surfaces of the finger, thumb, forearm, and part of the upper arm components using a PSA backing for comfort and aesthetic appeal. Adjustable straps are attached using ultrasonic welding for a strong, neat bond. Fiberglass rods, cut to exact lengths, are secured with a tough, USA-sourced epoxy adhesive with a rubber-like additive for flexibility. An alloy steel shoulder screw and nut connect the pivot and upper arm components for smooth, durable movement.

ALIGN Basketball: Designed in-house, the ALIGN basketball is made by trusted manufacturers overseas using high-quality polyurethane (PU). The alignment feature is debossed into the panels for durability and visibility.
