The bionic basketball shot accurizer is made with those Steel grey (tm) brand by Watson gloves. They're cotton with a rubber waffle coating for extra grip. You take the gloves, cut off the finger parts and create a three inch long or so cylinder out of them by cutting off the tips. Then you fold the cylinder in half so the grippy side is exposed on the surface, and you have a small 1 inch or so cylinder that is two layers thick. You slip one of these over your thumb, around the most slender part of the thumb. This prevents the ball from rolling off the thumb, eg. right hand shot, prevents the ball from veering left. It also gives extra grip. (optional) You slip another over the fourth finger next to the pinky. These two together help give leverage by creating a pocket for the ball, and helps grip the ball while in the palm. Now it increases the accuraccy of the shot, since the main concern will be distance, allows for a higher release point for more arc, etc. Ones with ess physical ability than Jordan can now play with him (if he isn't a snob), due to the modification of the hand, Glen Rice says the release is the most important part of the shot, many good launchers seem to have either a large thumb, or index finger almost as long as the middle finger. This brace compensates. If you find this technology beneficial, please send a donation to: Watchtower Bible and Tract Society: Canada: Box 4100 Halton Hills (Georgetown) Ontario L7G 4Y4.

A couple of months back I posted a message with a new stat and now, it's time to start weekly tracking. I decided that the best way to present it would be to show it like *points* so it'll be easy to see how well a team is doing by the yardage that it gains (OE or offensive efficiency and DE or defensive efficiency will be followed by the real points scored/allowed to give you a reference). Also, I will also start posting offensive winning percentage. --- TrekEd 1.00 * Origin: Does your Big Unit have a Big Hurt?
