The Ball Shows Them Where Both Hands Go
Instead of guessing, overthinking, or practicing bad habits alone, players can line up their shooting hand and guide hand with the printed guides. The ball can also be used to train left-hand and right-hand control for layups and one-hand passing.
For Parents Who Care About the Details
Most Shooting Habits Are Built When No Coach Is Watching
Camps and trainers can help, but the real difference is usually built in the quiet reps away from practice. That is where many young players either repeat the right habits or accidentally groove the wrong ones.
✓
Gives players a visual reminder for shooting hand and guide hand placement.
✓
Helps players understand how both hands should work together on the ball.
✓
Supports left-hand and right-hand control for layups and one-hand passing drills.
✓
Helps parents support shooting development without needing to correct every rep.
A Simple Ball Can Prevent a Lot of Sloppy Reps
The goal is not to make practice complicated. The goal is to make correct hand placement obvious, repeatable, and easy for a young player to check on their own.
The Ball Becomes the Reminder
When the hand guides are printed directly on the basketball, the player can see the correction before the shot, layup, or one-hand pass ever leaves their hand.
Avoid the Habits Coaches Notice Fast
The 3 Playing Time Killers This Ball Helps Attack
Shooting form is the main reason to buy it. But the same hand-placement guide also helps players work on two other skills coaches notice quickly: weak-hand layups and passing under pressure.
2
Struggling With Weak-Hand Layups
Coaches quickly see who can finish from both sides of the court. The printed hands help players work on left-hand and right-hand control near the rim.
3
Passing Poorly Against Pressure
Players who can step through pressure and deliver a strong one-hand pass are more useful against defense. The ball helps train right-hand and left-hand passing control.
Simple Enough for Daily Reps
Shooting Form Becomes Easier to Repeat
The player does not need a complicated lesson every time they pick up a ball. They can look at the printed guides, place both hands correctly, and start building cleaner habits one rep at a time.
Place the Shooting Hand
Line up the shooting hand with the printed guide so the ball starts in a more consistent position.
Set the Guide Hand
The off-hand guide reminds players not to let the support hand take over the shot.
Train Both Left and Right Hand Control
Use the printed guides to work on left-hand and right-hand layups, one-hand passing, and better ball control habits.
Repeat Close-Range Form Reps
Use short, controlled form shooting first so players can feel the correct hand placement before moving farther away.
Included Bonus
Online Access to Fundamentals of Shooting
The Hands On Shooter includes online access to the Fundamentals of Shooting training video, so parents and players can follow along and understand how to use the ball for better shooting-form reps.
✓
Online access only.
✓
Designed to help parents teach shooting basics in short daily sessions.
✓
Uses the Hands On Shooter so the player can follow the hand-placement cues.
✓
Reinforces how the shooting hand and guide hand work together on the ball.
A Training Tool Plus a Teaching System
The ball gives the visual reminder. The online access gives parents and players the instruction to make those reps more focused. That is a better setup than handing a young player a regular ball and hoping the form fixes itself.
Choose the Right Ball
Available in Youth, Women’s, and Men’s Sizes
Select the size and feel that fits your player. Rubber options are durable and budget-friendly, while composite leather options offer an upgraded game-ball feel.
| Option | Best For | Material | Training Focus |
|---|---|---|---|
| Youth 27.5 | Younger players learning shooting fundamentals | Rubber or Composite Leather | Shooting hand placement, guide hand control, left-hand and right-hand layup feel |
| 28.5 | Girls/women’s size basketball players and players who train with a 28.5 ball | Rubber or Composite Leather | Form shooting, one-hand passing control, weak-hand layups from both sides |
| 29.5 | Boys/men’s size basketball players | Rubber | Consistent hand placement, shooting mechanics, left-hand and right-hand passing control |
Better Than Guessing
Ordinary Balls Don’t Correct Hand Placement
A regular basketball gives no feedback. The Hands On Shooter gives the player a visual target every time they pick it up, whether they are practicing shooting form, left-hand finishes, right-hand finishes, or one-hand passing.
More Focused Form Reps
Instead of just shooting over and over, the player sees exactly where the shooting hand and guide hand should start before the shot.
Both Hands Get Attention
The ball helps players build confidence using the right hand and left hand, which matters for finishing, passing, and becoming harder to guard.
Better Parent Support
Parents do not have to be shooting experts to help reinforce the basics. The hand guides make the correction easier to see.
Habits Coaches Appreciate
Players who can shoot with cleaner mechanics, finish with either hand, and pass against pressure are easier to trust in real basketball situations.
Simple Daily Repetition
The best training tools are easy to use often. This ball makes every short practice session more purposeful.
Built for Real Basketball Skills
Shooting, finishing, and passing are all connected by hand control. This ball keeps the focus on skills that show up in games.

Great features and impressive quality for the price!
Style: R-S202BL, Configuration: receiver only
Got this for my classroom. Not an audiophile by any means and certainly didn't need the latest greatest features (along with accompanying higher cost). For what I paid, $150 on Amazon before sales tax, I'm very impressed with what it offers and can do. Installed it in my classroom today. Connected it to a pair of old Sony bookshelf speakers which I got around 10 years ago. Specifically got this receiver because the old Onkyo I previously used (still working even though it must be from 1980s or 1990s) was unable to handle audio input from my classroom desktop computer even though I had gotten an adapter cable that had a 3.5mm jack on one end and two RCA (red/white) plugs on the other end. Wanted to use the bookshelf speakers instead of the weak external speakers provided by school for whenever I would need audio during a lesson, video clips, etc. to be heard by students at the back of the classroom. After setting up this receiver and putting it through its paces, I am pleased with its overall performance.
I connected my classroom's desktop computer to the receiver using that adapter cable previously mentioned and this receiver had no problems at all picking up the signal and transmitting it to my bookshelf speakers. Tried out the radio tuner and was pleasantly surprised by both how clear the sound quality is for many local stations (compared to the Onkyo I had previously been using) and for even decoding signals from distant stations (I'm using a spare cheap external FM radio antenna, not the wire antenna provided with this unit) which the previous Onkyo receiver (and even my car radio) can't pick up clearly if at all.
The Bluetooth feature is nice. There's a cheaper version of this receiver without the Bluetooth feature but I decided that the extra $20 was worth it for providing additional possibilities. Had no problem pairing this receiver with my Nexus 6 smartphone. No problems streaming music from my smartphone to the receiver.
So far, I've only encountered one problem. I thought about docking one star off for this problem but in the end decided not to do so because the overall functionality and performance of the receiver isn't significantly impaired by this issue. When I first powered up this receiver (after making all the necessary audio connections to speakers and computer), I thought I might have had a defective unit because I couldn't hear anything even though the volume was clearly set at 40 (out of a 0-99 scale). After some trial and error, what I discovered was that any setting below 45 is practically impossible to hear coming out of my speakers. Once I cranked up the volume to 50-55, sound was clearly discernible to anyone near the speakers. From 55-65, sound fills up my entire classroom nicely. From 65-75, it gets loud in my classroom and when I walked out into the hallway (and then continued walking down the hallway) I could hear the sound clearly from several classrooms away. I can only imagine how loud it might be (and how far the sound may travel) if I cranked up the volume beyond 75. So, for all intents and practical purposes, the sound on this unit works but I'm essentially navigating between 45 (quiet) and 80 (really loud) instead of the full range of 0-99. Like I said, functionality and performance doesn't seem to be impaired by this discrepancy, so I ultimately decided not to knock off a star. Not sure if this issue is particular to the specific unit I received or a recurring pattern in more units beyond mine. Not a deal-breaker and not worth going through the hassle of a merchandise exchange since it gets the job done.
Looking forward to seeing how well this unit works out for this coming school year (and hopefully for many years beyond). If anything should arise to warrant editing this review, then I'll update as needed.

200 Watts… More Like *2000 Watts!
Style: R-S202BL, Configuration: receiver only
This system is really nice and I mean it! Not a lot of information on this unit but what I can say is this system gets extremely loud to the point where you can lose your hearing from it. There is no distortion from this system even at max volume. I like music loud but this loud is on the next level and this is coming from a guy who has a lot of audio equipment and experience in the audio and FM broadcast industry! The nice thing is FM sounds wonderful on this unit. FM radio sensitivity is just wonderful like a high end receiver or like a good car FM radio. The wire provided to get radio reception wasn’t the best but a good tip is to put the wire next to the speaker wires to act like a ground plane but I highly recommend to get a good FM radio antenna that goes on your roof of your house for superior reception. AND no, the speaker wires don’t interfere with reception!!!
I was skeptical due to the lack of information on this Yamaha, but I took that risk. I always knew Yamaha always been a very premium brand for audio and receivers but then you watch videos online about this unit they hate on it for being a cheap system when this isn’t true. This unit is for someone who wants a: Basic Semi Audiophile Stereo (Left and Right Sound) FM Radio, Line In or CD Playback, if you buy the cd reader separate. The video I provide is this stereo shaking my cheap old school 80s 8 inch bookshelf speakers.
The only con is no sub out port.
Irrelevant information starts here:
The setup you see in the video is only temporary as we are remodeling the house and garage this stereo is currently in. Are new house is being currently being built in the country and after are new garage is built I’ll be putting this stereo in there and be setting this up with 2 outdoor Yamaha AW-350s on our back deck by the fire pit and the 2 old school 80s speakers in the garage. (Also a FM antenna mast for extreme FM radio reception.) The idea is the backyard would have good audio for music and are front yard would also get some good ported sound from the garage. Overall me and my family spends a lot of time outdoors no phones and little to no internet time just hanging out listening to music. The reason I am sharing this is because this is what I see a unit like this being used for.

Weak, Flat, Tinny Sound
Style: R-S202BL, Configuration: receiver only
My Insignia NS-STR514 suddenly died after a year of glorious sound (device still turned on, switch inputs, etc, just no sound), and I had to find another stereo receiver to replace it. Yamaha seemed to be a pretty popular brand, especially among musicians and home theater enthusiasts, so I figured I couldn't go wrong. Wrong.
From the minute I hooked this receiver up I noticed a significant drop in power, range, and overall quality. This device is advertised as having the same 100w of power per channel, so this is really surprising for a major brand. I used to have to turn the Insignia up to 20, but this device has to be turned up to 44 to get the same loudness. When you do get this device cranked up enough to hear something, the sound is very flat. There's no other way to describe it. There's no range. Even if bass cranked to max you can barely hear it. The treble is weak, flat, and distorts at high volume. This device is literally making my stereo speakers that cost $300.00 each sound like a boom box from the 90's. I was considering upgrading my turntable to a higher quality one, but now, what's the point?
On the flip side, the sound is clean, crisp. But man oh man is it flat. These days I mostly listen to music on high grade headphones and watch movies and streaming on my projector so it's not a huge loss (high fidelity sound on video games and movies isn't a huge deal to me), but don't buy this for your entry-level audiophile needs. There's got to be better options out there than this. The weak bass especially is unforgivable.
*Update 04/25/17*
My wife finally grew so tired of this piece of junk that I got rid of it and bought another Insignia Stereo Receiver. Unreliable as it is (dead after 2 years) it's still better than this garbage.
The bass response is absolutely horrible, and the neighbors started complaining about the "booming". That's pretty much the only bass you get from this device. A loud, cheap-sounding thumping. The frequency response of this device is so poor, and the sound so thin and tinny, that even my wife couldn't stand it! Do yourself a favor and avoid this one.

Great quality wire for any automotive or 12 volt wiring
Size: 16 AWG-100 ft
This GS Power 16 gauge wire is excellent quality for any automotive wiring project. The copper is true OFC pure copper, not copper clad aluminum. It’s flexible, easy to route, and holds up well without the insulation feeling cheap or brittle.
I have used it for automotive accessory wiring and some 12V equipment projects and it handled everything perfectly. The wire pulls cleanly, solders well, and the insulation thickness gives it a durable feel without being overly bulky.
If you need dependable wire for automotive, marine, RV, audio, or general electrical projects, this is a great buy. I would absolutely purchase it again.
