The LVLUP Mini Heavy™ combines a smaller Size 3 surface area with 1.35 pounds of resistance to create a unique coordination and control challenge.
The reduced surface area requires more precise hand placement, while the added weight challenges fingertip control, rhythm and hand strength.
Use it during short, focused training blocks, then return to a regulation basketball to apply that control through movement, reactions, decisions and live play.
🧠 Coordination — challenges both hands to work together with greater precision
🎯 Fingertip Control — encourages cleaner contact and more accurate hand placement
⚡ Rhythm and Manipulation — challenges athletes to maintain control through changing speeds, directions and movement patterns
💪 Hand Strength — adds resistance in a smaller format than the full-size Heavy Ball
🔄 Adaptability — introduces a different training constraint before returning to regulation-ball play

The original Mini Heavy training experience in a limited metallic Platinum finish.
Created with Davion Mitchell and finished with exclusive DM2 branding and the “TRUST YOUR WORK” identity.
The LVLUP Mini Heavy Ball is designed to improve hand-eye coordination, ball control, and overall feel with the basketball.
Its smaller size and added weight force players to become more precise with every dribble, catch, and transfer—developing stronger hands and tighter control that carries over to the game ball.
Whether you're working on weak-hand development, tighter handles, or quicker reactions, the Mini challenges players to stay connected to the basketball every rep.
Master the small details. The game gets easier.
Train with a smaller, weighted basketball to challenge coordination, precision, and hand speed.
The reduced size demands more accuracy while the added weight builds stronger hands and better control.
When the game ball feels bigger, everything becomes easier.
The Mini Heavy is designed to challenge coordination, fingertip control, precision, rhythm and hand strength through smaller-ball resistance training.
No training tool creates results automatically. The smaller surface area encourages more precise hand movement, while the added weight introduces resistance. Consistent training should be paired with regulation-ball repetitions and game-representative activity.
Use it for controlled ball-handling, manipulation, pickups, transfers, reaction drills, weak-hand development and movement-based coordination exercises. Progress from controlled repetitions to variable, reactive and competitive activities.
Yes, but younger athletes should begin with short, controlled training blocks and appropriate coaching or adult supervision. Movement quality should remain the priority.
The Mini Heavy combines a smaller surface area with moderate resistance to emphasize coordination and precision. The full-size three-pound Heavy Ball provides greater resistance for hand, wrist and forearm strength. They create different training stimuli and should not be used interchangeably.
