MacGregor Heavy Basketball – Weighted Training Ball for Strength & Control

Description

Train Harder, Handle Better

The MacGregor Heavy Basketball is the ultimate tool for players who want to improve their ball control, passing power, and shooting range. By training with a heavier ball, your muscles adapt to increased resistance, making a regular basketball feel lighter and easier to control during games. Whether you’re a player looking to sharpen your skills or a coach wanting to enhance team training, this ball delivers results.

Weighted Design for Strength & Skill Development

This basketball is significantly heavier than a standard ball, helping athletes:
🏀 Develop stronger wrists and fingers for better grip and control
🏀 Increase dribbling speed and precision for tighter handles
🏀 Enhance passing power and accuracy for crisp, on-target assists
🏀 Build shooting endurance and follow-through strength for deeper range

By incorporating this weighted ball into regular training drills, players experience noticeable improvements in ball-handling speed, shot consistency, and passing effectiveness.

Available in Two Sizes for Targeted Training

The MacGregor Heavy Basketball is available in:

• 29.5″ Official Size – Standard size for men’s high school, college, and professional basketball
• 28.5″ Intermediate Size – Official size for women’s high school/college basketball and boys’ youth leagues (ages 12-14)

This allows players of all levels to train with a weighted basketball that matches their game-day ball size.

Durable Composite Cover for Indoor & Outdoor Use

The high-quality composite cover provides a soft, game-like feel while being tough enough for outdoor courts. Whether you’re practicing in a gym, driveway, or park, this ball maintains its grip and durability, ensuring consistent training performance.

Improves Dribbling & Ball Handling

If you struggle with keeping the ball under control, the MacGregor Heavy Basketball forces your fingers and wrists to work harder, helping you develop:
✅ Quicker and more controlled dribbling
✅ Better coordination for crossover moves and fakes
✅ Greater hand strength to reduce turnovers

Once you return to a regulation basketball, your handles will feel lighter, smoother, and faster.

Enhances Passing Strength & Accuracy

A great pass can change the game, and training with a heavier ball helps players:
🏀 Increase passing strength for longer, faster passes
🏀 Improve wrist snap and control for more precise assists
🏀 Build endurance to maintain passing accuracy late in games

By practicing bounce, chest, and outlet passes with this ball, players develop sharper fundamentals that translate directly into game situations.

Boosts Shooting Power & Follow-Through

Shooting a weighted basketball forces players to engage their entire body for proper form and mechanics. Training with the MacGregor Heavy Basketball improves:
🏀 Shot distance and range by building wrist and arm strength
🏀 Follow-through mechanics for a more controlled release
🏀 Endurance, so shots stay strong in the fourth quarter

After training with this ball, shooting with a regular basketball will feel easier and more natural.

Used by Coaches & Trainers for Elite Development

The MacGregor Heavy Basketball is widely used by high school, college, and professional coaches to help athletes improve ball-handling, passing, and shooting. This training method has been used for years to increase hand speed, grip strength, and overall court control.
