Okay who uses the shooters' rims that mount on the hoop and make a smaller target for the shooter? I was wondering how much good these actually do. The concept seems solid, aim for the smaller hole and increase the shot arc so it should be easier with the regulation rim. But I don't know.
I have been to a lot of practices and summer workouts and tryouts, both boys and girls (I had one daughter complete her hs basketball career this year and another one about to start).
Many places have them mounted on rims, especially in summer ball, but what they seem to mainly do is frustrate the hell out of a lot of kids. I have been watching, and most of the players won't take a shot on them unless forced to by the coach, even kids who are very good shooters. I have asked some of them about the rings, and they say they are "too hard," they don't seem to feel that it helps.
So I wonder what coaches think of these, and who has had success using them and how are you incorporating them into practice. Because most kids won't use them voluntarily.
Just curious. Thanks.

I think they are better used as training tools during shootaround and FT practice. I see no benefit to use them during scrimmages and full court drills

I think using them in any kind of game or scrimmage setting is stupid. But if you are on your own practicing your shot they are a good tool. I'm neither a coach or an expert though. Just someone who use to use one.

This is better for developing arc, IMO.
It also doesn't come with the frustration factor.
I never thought tweaks like that were necessary. The best thing I ever did for my shooting was to take 400 J's a day one summer. There is nothing like nailing down the muscle memory.

We use them mainly during individual workouts.
