OUR MISSION
Build hoopers with stronger control, sharper creativity, and game-ready confidence using tools that actually translate to the game.
THE PROBLEM
Hoopers train for hours, but most tools don’t translate to real on-court performance. Players want stronger ball control, faster reactions, and more confident handles, yet the training equipment on the market doesn't meet the demands of the game.
After years of working with athletes from youth to pros, I kept seeing the same issue: players weren’t developing game-speed control, true hand strength, or elite touch because their equipment wasn’t built for real, basketball-specific results.
WHY WE BUILT LVLUP HANDLE
LVLUP Handle wasn’t created to fix a flaw — it was built to raise the standard for how hoopers train. Built by a basketball trainer working hands-on with players from youth to college.The goal was to give athletes a tool that challenges them the same way the game does: with intensity, precision, and purpose.
At LVLUP, basketball is about growth. Every rep is an opportunity to sharpen your craft, build confidence, and create separation from players who just go through the motions. LVLUP Handle was built to give hoopers a professional-grade way to build real control, real strength, and real game-readiness — not just better drills, but better results.
We built LVLUP Handle to challenge players the same way the game does.
THE RESULT
Players needed tools that builds transferrable on-court results — so we created the LVLUP Heavy Ball. Built at official size with premium composite leather and nearly double the weight, it develops stronger hands, more stable wrists, and elite ball control every rep. When players switch back to a game ball, everything feels lighter, quicker, and more confident.
Next came the LVLUP Mini Heavy Ball — a compact, high-density tool engineered to sharpen precision, tight-space control, rhythm, and weak-hand mastery.
Together, these two tools form the LVLUP System: basketball-specific equipment that turns every rep into game-speed improvement.
When players switch back to a game ball, the difference is immediate!
THE LVLUP STANDARD
Every LVLUP product is built to elevate the way players develop their handle. Our equipment is engineered with intention — to improve grip strength, sharpen hand coordination, increase ball feel, and build the type of tight, reliable controlthat shows up in real game situations.
We design tools that help hoopers refine their dribble mechanics, maintain better rhythm and tempo, and build the consistency needed for elite ball-handling development. Every rep has a purpose, and every product is crafted to help athletes create smoother combos, react quicker, and handle pressure with confidence.
This is the LVLUP Standard — purposeful engineering, true skill progression, and training equipment built to help players master their handle every single day.

Heavy Ball vs. Regulation Basketball
Basketball development isn’t about choosing one tool—it’s about using the right tool at the right time. Regulation basketballs build rhythm, timing, and game-speed feel. Heavy balls add resistance, helping develop stronger hands, tighter control, and better awareness. At LVLUP Handle, we believe the combination is what creates real improvement—train with purpose so your handle holds up when the game speeds up.
