The Spalding TF-Trainer Intermediate Weighted Basketball (28.5″) is designed to build strength, improve ball-handling control, and increase passing power. Weighing 3 lbs.—more than twice the weight of a standard basketball—this training tool helps develop stronger wrists, forearms, and fingers, making dribbling, shooting, and passing easier when switching back to a regulation ball. With a durable composite leather cover, this weighted basketball is perfect for both indoor and outdoor training. Whether you’re a player looking to enhance your skills or a coach guiding a team to the next level, the TF-Trainer is the ultimate tool for basketball development.
The Spalding TF-Trainer Intermediate Weighted Basketball (28.5″) is a must-have for serious athletes looking to improve their game. By using a heavier basketball during training, players can strengthen their hands, wrists, and arms, leading to quicker dribbles, stronger passes, and more powerful shots.
Ideal for women’s high school and college basketball players, as well as youth players (ages 12-14), this training ball makes handling a regular ball feel effortless after just a few workouts.
A standard intermediate basketball weighs around 1.4 lbs., but the TF-Trainer weighs 3 lbs., making every drill more challenging and effective. Training with a weighted basketball improves:
✅ Dribbling speed, strength, and control
✅ Passing power and accuracy
✅ Shooting range and endurance
Once you transition back to a regular ball, your improved strength and control will give you an edge over opponents.
Unlike some weighted training balls that are only for indoor use, the TF-Trainer is built tough for both indoor and outdoor training. The high-quality composite leather cover provides a soft, game-like feel, while its durable construction withstands wear and tear on any surface. Train in the gym, on the driveway, or at the park—this ball is ready for any court.
If you want to improve your handles, the TF-Trainer forces your hands and fingers to work harder, making:
🏀 Dribbling quicker and more controlled
🏀 Crossovers and spin moves sharper and more precise
🏀 Hand coordination and grip strength more effective
After training with this weighted ball, switching back to a regular basketball will make your dribble feel lighter, faster, and more confident.
Passing is a fundamental skill that can set great players apart from average ones. The extra weight of the TF-Trainer forces players to use stronger wrist and arm muscles, leading to:
🏀 More powerful passes that reach teammates faster
🏀 Better control on bounce and chest passes
🏀 Greater endurance for making quick decisions under pressure
Incorporating this ball into passing drills will sharpen your accuracy and boost your confidence.
Shooting with a weighted basketball helps players develop proper mechanics and build muscle memory. Training with the TF-Trainer can:
🏀 Increase shot range and power
🏀 Improve wrist and forearm strength for better follow-through
🏀 Enhance stamina for maintaining form late in games
When you switch back to a regulation basketball, your shot will feel lighter and more effortless.
The Spalding TF-Trainer is widely used in high school, college, and professional training programs. Coaches incorporate weighted basketballs into workouts to help players develop stronger fundamentals and gain a competitive edge.
At 28.5 inches, the TF-Trainer is the official size for women’s high school, college, and professional basketball, as well as for boys’ youth leagues (ages 12-14). While heavier than a standard ball, its grip, feel, and bounce are designed to mimic a real-game basketball so training transfers seamlessly to competition.
1. Can I use the TF-Trainer for actual games?
No, this is a training basketball only. It’s designed to help you develop strength and control but is not meant for official gameplay.
2. How often should I train with a weighted basketball?
Most coaches recommend using the TF-Trainer a few times per week for dribbling, passing, and shooting drills. Overuse can lead to fatigue, so it’s best to balance training with a standard basketball.
3. Does this basketball bounce like a regular ball?
Because of its extra weight, the TF-Trainer has a slightly lower bounce than a standard basketball. This forces players to focus on control, hand placement, and wrist strength during drills.
If you’re serious about improving your dribbling, passing, and shooting strength, the Spalding TF-Trainer Intermediate Weighted Basketball (28.5″) is a must-have training tool. Designed for women’s and youth basketball players, this ball helps you develop elite skills, increase endurance, and gain an edge over the competition.
