A weighted basketball is a training ball designed to build stronger, faster, and more controlled handles. The LVLUP Heavy Ball adds extra resistance to every dribble, forcing your wrists, forearms, and fingertips to work harder. When you switch back to a regular ball, everything feels lighter, quicker, and sharper.
The added weight increases resistance on every pound, which develops grip strength, ball control, and dribble stability. Over time, the heavy ball trains your muscles to handle the ball with more power and precision—making your handles smoother, tighter, and more explosive.
