The Basketball You're Using May Be Why Your Shot Sucks

Is the basketball you're using affecting your shot? We measured 8 different basketballs to see whether or not the ball you're using in your pickup games is affecting your performance. If you're used to shooting with a particular basketball, and then play in a game that uses a different ball, your shooting percentages could suffer. We initially thought it was just a feel and familiarity problem. We learned that different basketballs actually have different weights, which will definitely impact your shooting performance.⚠️ Basketball Giveaway Instructions ⚠️1.
