In this episode of The Coach Dave Love Podcast, Dave and Matt take a deep dive into the world of shooting devices. From shooting sleeves to guided hands to arc trainers, these tools are everywhere in basketball training—but are they helping or hurting player development?
Dave breaks down:
- The most popular shooting devices on the market today
- What each device is actually designed to do (and what it can't do)
- The unintended consequences and limitations coaches need to watch for
- What Dave uses instead—and why constraints-based alternatives often work better
Whether you're considering investing in devices for your program or trying to decide if they're worth the hype, this episode will help you make informed decisions grounded in skill acquisition principles.
