Why it works
Less ball. Same feel.
Most training balls change the game to make it harder. TruWeight doesn't. It dribbles like a real basketball: same bounce off the floor, same response in your hand, same feel coming back to you. It just gives you less ball to work with, so every rep asks for precision.
- Regulation weight, compact frame.The feedback in your hand is real, not artificial, so nothing about the bounce has to be re-learned when you go back to a full-size ball.
- Precision isn't optional.A loose dribble that a full-size ball forgives is a lost dribble here. Your handle tightens to meet the ball.
- Training wheels for elite finishing.Scoops, extensions and off-hand touch around the rim are easier to feel with a smaller ball. Learn them small, then scale them up.
How to use it
Compare. Tighten. Finish.
Three ways to put it to work. Keep your regulation ball close for all of them.
- Compare and contrast
Run a set with TruWeight, then the same set with your regulation ball. The full-size ball comes back slower, bigger, easier.
- Tight-handle work
Stationary and on-the-move dribble series where the ball has to stay on your fingertips.
- Finishing touch
Scoops, extensions and off-hand finishes, first with TruWeight, then with the full-size ball.

Questions
Before you order
What size is it, and how much does it weigh?
Size 3, 600 g (1.32 lb). It is a compact ball at regulation weight.
Does it bounce like a regular basketball?
Yes. It dribbles like a real basketball: same bounce off the floor, same response in your hand, same feel coming back to you. It just gives you less ball to work with.
Is it heavier than a regular ball?
No. It is regulation weight in a smaller frame. The challenge is precision: less ball to control, so a loose rep shows up right away.
Can I use it for finishing around the rim?
Yes. Scoops, extensions and off-hand touch around the rim are easier to feel with a smaller ball. Learn them small, then scale them up.
Indoor or outdoor? How do I inflate it?
Both. It has a premium composite leather cover and is made for indoor and outdoor use. Inflate it to 7–9 PSI.
Can I order one for every player on my team?
Yes. Use the quantity box to add one ball per player. One ball per player lets the whole group run compare-and-contrast sets at the same time.
