K3 Shooting Band helps players perfect their jumpshoot in basketball games. This product was invented in 2009 by former pro basketball player Nicky Young to help players shoot the basketball by adding force to the middle finger.
Hoopers have to work on their middle two fingers to make a perfect shot and this is not easy at all. This band is only for exercising the two middle fingers, it cannot be worn to play actual basketball games.
The Band, which is now available for adults and children, retails for $19.99 at Walmart.

Another Shark Tank Pitch
Nicky Young is the founder and CEO of this company and is also a former pro basketball player. Nicky’s father is a former basketball player who played for the New York Knicks jersey in the NBA and taught his daughter the game of basketball.
Nicky considered her father as her role model and to become like him, she started playing basketball in school and college. She became an entrepreneur by inventing a resistance band to help other players perfect their shooting fingers.

The landed cost of the product including packaging comes to $0.91, retail cost is $99. Her products are available in 8 Dick’s Sporting Goods stores and on Walmart Marketplace. But the surprising thing is that the re-order is not being received.
