Run Faster With Springbak Springsoles
Posted by: | CommentsFaster How?
There is a time honored formula for improving running speed: shorten foot plant time and increase stride length. Running on a resilient surface such as a rubberized track will accomplish both. NFL combine scouts know this as a fact and will deduct .15 of a second off a 40 yard dash times on an artificial turf vs. rubberized track. Unless your sport is track and field you do not play on a rubberized surface. There is a way however to make your playing surface like a rubberized track. You can put material far more resilient than a rubberized track inside your athletic shoes. Whether your playing surface is dirt, grass, concrete, a wooden floor or an artificial turf field; you will have the same speed (or jumping ability) benefits of playing on a rubberized track.
How is this possible?
* Springbak Springsoles are made from the two most resilient material in the world. Butadiene and Natural Rubber. In fact, butadiene rubber has 15% more resilience or bounce than any material in the world. Futhermore, Springbak holds exclusive patent rights to use butadiene rubber in footwear.
Springbak currently holds four separate USA patents (and one foreign patent) under the category of “performance enhancing” shoe components, which are the result of 12 long years of research and development. Springbak Springsoles are really a patented platform, manufactured in the shape of an insole made from a blend of patented space age materials.
When inserted, Springbak’s patented Springsoles always increase core body strength immediately, by raising the Vibration Frequency of the human body, thus increasing the speed of the body’s electromagnetic system. This in turn speeds up your body’s electrical currents which are the vehicles that send messages to the brain & back to the muscles, thus allowing you to pull more energy from your own power plant-the human body.
This well known and validated scientific process is called Vibration Frequency, which has been taught in the USA medical schools, kinesiology, bio-mechanical, and physical therapy classes for well over 100 years. The Japanese and Chinese have been applying this process by hand manipulation in massage therapy and acupuncture for over a thousand years.
Springbak is indeed the world leader, with it’s cutting edge scientific progress for athletes. The 1/16th of an inch patented platforms are designed to fit any athletic shoe. When the Springsoles are inserted, the proven scientific fact(s) are; they enable an athlete to draw more energy from their own body, thus allowing the athlete to maximize their own muscle potential for training and competition. Another marvelous feature of the Springsole is Springbak’s patented “recoil process”, which totally eliminates shin splints (forever) while reducing fatigue and recovery time.

Springbak Basketball Shooting Tips – Shooter / Scorer Needs A Quick Release
Posted by: | CommentsThe best basketball shooters all have an extremely quick release with no more than two motions. Here are tips you need to incorporate into your shot.
1) Straight up to the shooting stroke position off a pass reception or a dribble.
2) Never take the ball down to start a release, this just creates extra motion that slows the release
How long should the power stroke be? Only 3 to 4 inches max. Why?
3) This short quick explosion of the arm: upward push of the shoulder, quick extension of the forearm, all done at the same time
4) A quick release activates the elastic whipping action of the wrist and fingers.
How does a shooter get proper backspin on the basketball?
5 ) Backspin comes from the basketball rolling up the fingers at release.
The ball should be released off the middle finger. Why?
6) This allows the wrist to break directly at the rim
Should my elbow be in when I shoot the basketball? No. Why?
7) If your elbow is in when you shoot the basketball, this causes the wrist to be out of line with the basket.

Springbak Basketball Shooting Tips – The Shooting Stroke
Posted by: | CommentsThe Shooting Stroke – Line of Force:
From the legs, through the shoulder, then upward about a 60 degree angle.
Never break this line of force. Why?
1) You lose power from the shoulder.
2) You slow your release – remember when you break that line you just have to bring the ball back to the line, that all takes time.
On a jump shot, as soon as you reach the top of your release gravity immediately pulls you down. So, the balance point of your jump shot is short indeed.
That is the main reason when you reach the top of your leap you should have a quick, short, tight shooting stroke. You can be bring the basketball up to that position when you are still going up-but when you reach the top you need a short (3-4 inches) tight, quick (meaning a quick explosion) of the upward push of the shoulder and extension of the forearm.
The Springbak Springsoles will also speed up the entire process for you. This short, quick reaction will activate an elastic reaction inherent in the wrist and fingers.
This shooting stroke will speed the roll of the basketball out of the hand and up the fingers toward the rim. The quicker the ball rolls up the fingers, the better the backspin on the basketball while in flight.
Next week we will discuss exactly why the shooter/scorer needs a quick release. Have fun and try out this proven shooting technique for yourselves, NBA style!

Basketball Shooting Tips – Springbak Training Tips
Posted by: | Comments“Want to become a star basketball shooter and scorer? What is the main key?
As a professional basketball player, I learned to develop a short, quick release to be competitive in the NBA.
Why, you ask? For several reasons:
1) A short, quick release will enable to get up more shots with less defensive pressure.
2) When you get to the top of your leap on a jump shot, you have a short, quick enough shooting stroke to start and release the basketball before gravity pulls you down and thus off balance. This is why you will never see a great shooter with a lot of arm motion in his or her shooting release.
What are the keys to a short, quick shooting release?
1) Have the basketball under control in both hands as you set your feet to start your upward jump on a jump shot. This is extremely important!
2) As you are on your upward jumping ascent, take the basketball directly up to the shooting or power stroke position without taking the basketball out of your line of force (from your legs, through your shoulder and on a 60 degree angle towards the rim).”
