Rotary Ground Force Training (RGFT) – Basketball
Basketball is a highly rotational and dynamic sport. Every position relies on transferring force from the ground through the hips, trunk, and spine: Guards require rotational speed and agility for explosive drives, quick pivots, and perimeter shooting. Forwards need rotational power for post moves, rebounding, and jump shots. Centers generate torque for post blocks, rebounding, and finishing around the rim. All positions use anti-rotational strength to resist contact, maintain balance, and control the body during jumps, cuts, and defensive maneuvers. The TrueTurnPro (TTP) device and our RGFT Method train basketball athletes to maximize ground reaction forces, stabilize the core, and optimize controlled rotation and anti-rotation for game-specific performance.

Benefits of Locking the Upper Kinetic Chain for Basketball Athletes

When basketball players train with TrueTurnPro:
  • Explosive Trunk & Hip Rotation – stronger drives, jump shots, post moves, and layups
  • Max Core Activation – stabilizes the body for shooting, passing, and rebounding
  • Enhanced Hip Function – more torque for pivots, cuts, and lateral movement
  • Spinal & Trunk Stabilization – maintains posture during jumps, rotations, and contact
  • Anti-Rotational Strength – resists contact while maintaining balance during drives, screens, and defensive maneuvers
  • More Speed & Power – measurable gains in jump height, rotational explosiveness, and passing/shot velocity

The TrueTurnPro RGFT Basketball Protocol

Integrated with the RGFT Method, our system develops basketball athletes across all positions by:
  1. Upper Chain Stability – locks arms and shoulders to ensure rotation comes from the core and hips, not “arm-dominant” motion.
  2. Rotary Joint Function Screening (RGFT) – identifies deficits in hips, spine, and shoulders that limit rotational power or increase injury risk.
  3. Optimized Hip & Spine Rotation – ensures efficient ground-to-body energy transfer for shooting, pivoting, cutting, and rebounding.
  4. Eccentric/Concentric Loading – trains muscles to absorb and release rotational force explosively for drives, jumps, and rotational movements.
  5. Injury Prevention Focus – stabilizes the upper kinetic chain and reinforces proper biomechanics to reduce the risk of shoulder, spine, and knee injuries.

Key Outcomes for Basketball Athletes

  • Guards: Faster drives, sharper pivots, and higher shooting accuracy
  • Forwards: Explosive post moves, stronger jump shots, and rebounding power
  • Centers: More rotational power in blocks, post defense, and finishing around the rim
  • All Positions: Improved rotational control under contact, better anti-rotational stability, and reduced injury risk
  • All Players: Maximized ground-to-body force transfer for speed, power, and agility

The Bottom Line

Basketball is a sport of rotation, pivoting, and anti-rotation. The TrueTurnPro locks the upper kinetic chain, activates the core, and teaches proper ground-to-body energy transfer — giving athletes explosive power, rotational speed, agility, and injury protection, regardless of position.
