Here are some great uses of the Defender Extender training pads:
Imagine if you could practice against Kevin Durant every day for a summer. How much better would you get? If you were a high schooler and worked on your offensive moves every day vs. KD and then went back to your normal level of competition how easy would it be for you to dominate? Practicing against someone so big and long would make your normal level easy.
Introducing the Defender Extender training pads. The Defender Extender training pads allow a coach, trainer, or partner to simulate a much taller player than you would normally play against. As you move up levels in basketball, from junior high to high school, high school to college, college to the pros, your competition will get taller, longer, and more athletic. The Defender Extender training pads can simulate all 3 of these even though you don’t have Kevin Durant to practice against!
With the Defender Extender training pads you will have to work that much harder to get your shot off, dribble the ball down the floor, drive to the basket, finish at the rim, make a pass, and more!
The bottom line is that players will have to learn how to move the defense with fakes, jabs, and attack in straight lines to be successful against taller, longer and more athletic players.
Size: 28" X 6" X 6" (Pad is 17" in length and handle is 11" for a total of 28" in length)

How to Beat a Taller More Athletic DefenderAs you can see in this picture the player is being challenged on the shot and the dribble. Now you could just pass the basketball and not be aggressive or you could learn how to attack this type of player. The longer taller athlete will be very hard to beat side to side so the pads force players to learn to attack in straight lines to turn the defenders hips and their length is nowhere near as effective when their hips are turned. Learn to move the defense before you dribble and great things will happen for you on offense. |
Increase Arc & Shoot Over the DefenseUse the pads to learn to shoot over taller defenders on jump shots, floaters, and layups so you can score from anywhere. |
Great for All LevelsThe Defender Extender Training Pads are used from the Pros to Youth basketball. Prepare your players now for the taller,longer, and more athletic players BEFORE they face them. |
Learn to Protect the BasketballWhen dribbling against the Defender Extender Training pads players will find its not so easy because the ball can easily be knocked away when not protected. Training with the pads will force the player to learn to use their off hand to keep defenders hands out and protect the ball. Players will also learn how to better position their body so they always keep their body in between the defense and the basketball. |
