Abstract:
This is a basketball training device for a user's guide hand comprising upper arm, pivot, forearm, thumb, and finger components. The pivot component is pivotably connected to the upper arm component and rigidly coupled to the forearm component, and the forearm component is rigidly coupled to both the thumb component and the finger component. The upper arm, forearm, thumb, and finger components are each secured to the user's upper arm, forearm, thumb, and at least one finger, respectively. As such, the basketball training device not only restricts flexion and opposition of the thumb but it restricts pronation of the user's forearm. In addition, the basketball training device restricts flexion, extension, radial deviation, and ulnar deviation of the user's wrist while allowing the user appropriate extension at the elbow joint during the entire shooting motion.

Claim (Index 5):
A basketball training device for a user's guide hand, comprising:\n an upper arm component comprising at least one upper arm strap through-slot and an integrated pintle; an upper arm strap attached to said at least one upper arm strap through-slot, said upper arm strap securing said upper arm component to a user's upper arm; a pivot component comprising a pivot attachment point and a gudgeon, said gudgeon pivotably connected to said integrated pintle of said upper arm component; a forearm component comprising at least one forearm strap through-slot, a proximal forearm attachment point, and a first distal forearm attachment point; a forearm strap attached to said at least one forearm strap through-slot, said forearm strap securing said forearm component to a user's forearm; a first elongated coupling member formed from a rigid material, said first elongated coupling member comprising a first distal end and a first proximal end, said first distal end attached to said proximal forearm attachment point and said first proximal end attached to said pivot attachment point; a thumb component comprising at least one thumb strap through-slot and a thumb attachment point, a thumb strap attached to said at least one thumb strap through-slot, said thumb strap securing said thumb component to a user's thumb; and a second elongated coupling member formed from a rigid material, said second elongated coupling member comprising a second distal end and a second proximal end, said second distal end attached to said thumb attachment point and said second proximal end attached to said first distal forearm attachment point; whereby said upper arm component is secured to said user's upper arm, said pivot component is pivotably connected to said upper arm component, said pivot component is coupled to said forearm component by way of said first elongated coupling member, said forearm component is secured to said user's forearm, said forearm component is coupled to said thumb component by way of said second elongated coupling member, and said thumb component is secured to said user's thumb.
