Ball Hog 2.0 Unweighted Basketball Training Gloves | Improve Grip Control & Ball Handling

Want to develop silky smooth ball handling without added weight resistance? The Ball Hog 2.0 Unweighted Training Gloves eliminate your natural grip on the basketball — forcing your fingers and hands to work harder on every dribble, pass, and catch without the added weight resistance.

WHY UNWEIGHTED GLOVES WORK
The secret isn't the weight — it's the grip elimination. By removing your natural grip on the basketball your hands are forced to develop true finger control, touch, and feel. The result is softer hands, better ball control, and more confident handles in every game situation.

WHO THESE ARE FOR
✓ Younger players ages 6-10 building their first handles
✓ Players who want grip training without weight resistance
✓ Guards developing soft touch and finger control
✓ Coaches introducing glove training to beginners
✓ Players rehabbing hand or wrist injuries

WHAT YOU'LL DEVELOP
✓ Superior finger control and touch
✓ Softer hands for catching and receiving passes
✓ Better weak hand dribbling and coordination
✓ Confident handles in traffic and under pressure
✓ Foundation skills that transfer to weighted training

THE BALL HOG PROGRESSION SYSTEM
Coach Godwin recommends starting with Unweighted Gloves to build proper technique and finger control — then graduating to Ball Hog 2.0 Weighted Gloves for resistance training. This two-step progression is how the best players develop handles that last a lifetime.

COACH GODWIN'S TAKE
In 20+ years of coaching and training basketball players I always start younger and beginner players with the Unweighted Gloves first. You have to build the foundation before you add resistance. These gloves develop the touch and feel that weighted training builds on top of. Don't skip this step.
